Ronny's (Chicago venue) R.I.P.

Well, another venue bites the dust. Much like Cobra Lounge, etc., Ronny's never had a PPA license, thus, live music was never legal there. It finally caught up with the bar and with MPshows on Friday night as the City of Chicago came in mid-show and shut the place down. I had a couple of great shows there (solo with Wiese/Yeh + T. Hannum; Animal Law with Plague Bringer), a so-so show there (The Fortieth Day), and a semi-nightmarish show there (a later Animal Law show). I saw a couple of excellent shows there, too (Yellow Tears/Ahlzagailzehguh, Failures/Vaccine). It is more distressing to have one less option in Chicago...
