Sorry, I don't have much time, and this section is shared with you in Vic so it'll have to do: Cobalt's closing as of Aug 15. Plenty of time to come on over and say your good-byes. - Thu, 5 Aug 2004 7:59pm

Shite-y. Really, really shitty. The place felt like a home away from home - played and saw lotsa gigs there. Fun, fucked-up times. Great wall of gig posters, like wallpaper. John, the old sound guy, was A-1, the nicest guy. One of my favourite times at a gig was when Champs of Hell played there and in the middle of our set we brought out the five-foot "bomber", each of us taking two hits each, and then a line-up started at the stage, and as we resumed the set someone would jump up on stage for a hit and soon it was a smoke show - courtesy of excellent bud. Or stupidly smoking meth at the back near the sound board during a Zuckuss/Abuse show (the "after-Cryptopsy/Dime Burger-gig" gig), or.....

I guess Wendy had enough.....
Hats off to her. - Sat, 7 Aug 2004 4:54pm

Most memories of that place are fuzzy, but always fun.

That after gig at the Cobalt after the Cryptopsy show was more fun than the Cryptopsy show, minus Cryptopsy. - Sun, 8 Aug 2004 5:23pm
