It's a dark day in San Francisco as another venue icon ends a long and successful contribution to the City's entertainment nightlife. We'll miss all of the great entertainers that performed and gave us a diverse and balanced genre. Without the RRAZZ the City has lost a generous community partner in so many ways. Wake up San Francisco before you lose all of your cultural icons that make the City-by-the-Bay a wonderful place to live and visit. I can only wonder what Herb Caen would write in the San Francisco Chronicle if he were alive today. I am sure we'd get an ear full, and at least a column or two if not a whole page of brow beating. Though we've tried to revive our musical and artistic creativity through well intentioned activities like the Fillmore Redevelopment Project, the artists we've experienced, just don't come back easily and the venues are even more difficult to acquire and operate because of the high cost of real estate.
Thank you RRAZZ for twelve (12) wonderful years that you brought us enjoyment with an up close and personal experience with the entertainers you brought to San Francisco. I miss you already.
