In the past 2 days I have heard two separate rumours about the Guvernment complex and I am wondering if there is any truth to them.
The first is that Charlie is selling 20% of the complex and is looking for a buyer.
The second (and more troubling) is that he is selling the entire complex to someone who does not intend to keep it as a music venue (condos??).
Anyone know if either of these are true???

I agree, but do you think by removing the cities biggest player that the scene will actually breath a new life?

Quite a few people were saying similar things on NYE (closing or closing and re-opening) and the chatter has actually influenced me to go there soon just in case.
Maybe that's the intention.

I'm surprised you're sticking up for the Guv considering it scooped you on PVD.
BTW, good NYE, I love that venue.

I believe that.
But I've also never been a fan of the Guv, so if it closed I wouldn't be disappointed to hear the same talent in other venues.

I doubt it's true (but 20% is nothing). I've always looked at it as a complete cash cow for Charles K and I doubt he would sell it now with the guvernment cd's on sale and stuff. If Charles K did sell it, I'm sure a new buyer would snap it up quickly and probably keep the guvernment/koolhaus complex as is. Until something like that happens, it is just rumors and I have no time for rumors because they normally start with one person making up shit to another and it catches the wind and keeps going.

I've been hearing this rumour from a number of people for about a month now. I doubt there is any truth to it.
