still shuttered at the marx

DC's Alcoholic Beverage Control Board still isn't allowing any live entertainment at the Marx Cafe for the next couple of weeks at least. I felt stupid dragging my record bag there, I should have just called before I left. Mike, the bartender, said that there were investigators in last Saturday night checking up on them, looking to see if they were abiding by the rules. Since having djs is such a huge part of their business, the Saturday and Friday hipster parties draw a lot of people; as much as the drinks, atmosphere and sports ever will by themselves, so if they don't get their paperwork in order soon the place might as well shrivel up and die.
