No More Ruby Room

So it was only last Friday that I saw my first gig at the Ruby Room (Sugar High). One of my first comments on walking into the dark, ruby red bar with naked paintings posted around the walls was "This is a cool dive. Tempe needs a place like this!" It's a bit out the way for us (being in downtown Phoenix), but it was such a good vibe and was somewhere that I totally imagined seeing more shows at. So much so, that I didn't bother taking a photo of the exterior or 'Ruby Room' sign, or the mureal in the parking lot, because we'll be back.

Reading the Up On The Sun New Times blog today I learn that the Ruby Room closed 4 days after we were there (last Tuesday)! Urgh!

Is it really that hard for Phoenix to keep cool live music venues open?!?! At times like this I have to question moving halfway across thee world to live here!
