The very last days of Room 101

As I reported a fortnight ago, Room 101 is to close down at the end of this week.

It is to remain under the same ownership, and is slated for a re-opening after 1 or 2 (or 3 or......??) weeks. But it will have a new name, a new look, a new approach to the market. It just won't be the same, dammit.

The grand closing party will be this coming Saturday, October 4th - from early until LATE. Well, until whatever time the following morning the present inventory is exhausted - that's the plan, anyway.

It should be a good night. Although for me, it will also be tinged with sadness. I look on it as a wake, in fact. I may well cry at some point. I've really come to love that place.
