Legendary punk rock mecca CBGB's is facing eviction* after 31 years of hosting the greatest music NYC has ever seen. But owner Hilly Kristal is not giving up without a fight. The battle to save CB's is on. Get involved by checking out savecbgb.org. Many people have already been writing to the city to get CB's declared a historic landmark. Everyday more and more people come from around the world, wearing their Ramones t-shirt, just to look around. It's where punk was born. And it's one of the last vestiges of the old East Village. New York City even used CB's in their ad to bid for the 2012 Olympics.

You can go to cbgb.com and watch live cybercasts of shows every night for free, and decide for yourself whether or not the place lives up to its reputation. Or better yet, go there to see a show and have a drink.

I went to CB's 313 Gallery for Sunday Night FEVA a couple of weeks ago and in the hour and a half I was there I got to see: a maniacal puppet planning to take over the world with a circus peanut second in command and an army of Pez; two naked old men who wanted to read poetry (one of them, I was told, had elephantiasis of the nuts); three artists painting away; a fire eater; a burlesque act; a poet; and a punk band.

Last Wednesday was the opening for the new art show, which features photos from the club starting in the 70's all the way up to today. It coincides with the new photography book about CBGB. The place was packed and I spotted Deborah Harry in the crowd.

There's expectations for some big names to play there next month, in support of the struggle to save CBGB's . Keep a look out and get your tickets early.
