Title: Ottobar Sale
Post by: JohnnyBaconbitz on November 02, 2018, 02:49:19 pm
It was just announced that Otto is going to have new owners soon.

Who are these people?

Do we love them?  Do we hate them?

Is Otto now part of the #TeamSeth cabal?

Everything I've read has said the sale hasn't actually happened yet. Not a peep about the buyers.

Do we love them?  Do we hate them?

let's see: we don't have enough information to make an informed decision.  it's about something that we're used to, and it could now change (it also might not, but we're going to ignore that).  this risks forcing us to reevaluate our opinions about the past.

so clearly, we hate it.  duh.

Hopefully that means better booking...some of my DC friends have never set foot at the Ottobar this year.

I love the place - just saw GBV there in aug.

They just announced Deerhunter and Segall shows - Big gets for them.

Actually they are in talks but have not sold venue yet


$1.25 million seems to be the price....you get a few other buildings on that block
