"There is no valid reason why CBGB should leave our present historic location. All we want is the same thing the Governor, the Mayor, and 43 City Council members want -- that is to sit down with the BRC and negotiate in good faith a new lease that is fair to all parties."

-- Hilly Kristal, owner and founder of CBGB

Mark,

We were served with eviction papers last night.... and....... we are staying and fighting!

Help us show that "We've Got The Numbers" - please ask your friends to sign the official Save CBGB petition and help our coalition grow! With your help we have been able to deliver over 30,000 signatures to the mayor and have gained the backing of 43 city council members!

Background Information on CBGB Eviction

Even after the Manhattan Courts ruled that CBGB was not in the wrong about incorrectly billed rent increases and should not be evicted, CBGB was served with eviction papers from their landlord, a homeless organization, the Bowery Residents Committee.

To Date, CBGB Has:

-- Agreed to pay significant rent increases

-- Obtained Certificate of Occupancy for the entire building

-- Secured two separate third-party guarantors

-- Agreed to provide a substantial security deposit

-- Agreed to contribute $97,500 (the amount of the disputed rent arrears plus interest) in good faith to the BRC upon receiving a new lease, even though the Manhattan courts ruled that CBGB did not owe any money to the BRC

-- Guaranteed to raise the BRC additional funds in good faith through fundraising efforts, with a target of $100,000!

Is an "eviction notice server" some kind of new-fangled Linux box?

[Sorry, couldn't resist.]
