Buck's Bar?
REM2525
I just moved to the Seattle area, and can't remember the name of the club that
Peter is suppossed to own. Anyone know it? Also I'm looking for a certain
T-shirt. Does anyone know where I can find the "Turn You Insisde Out" shirt
that was inside out? I gotta have it to complete my GREEN tour shirt
collection.Thanks

actually, the croc is owned by buck's wife, who opened it before she was
married about 6 or 7 years ago. buck and his wife bought a club formerly
known as "under the rail" (since it is right next to the monorail tracks).
we all have been waiting to see what is going to happen with it. the
liquor license has been applied for. but as for remodeling, it doesn't
look as if much has been going on. it could be a great space to see live
music if done right.

The bar and cafe that Peter is supposed to own is actually owned by his
wife I think. Anyways it's called the Crocodile Cafe and is in Belltown,
on 2nd if I remember correctly. I love it there, a really cool place to
hang out with friends.

Peter's first wife, Barrie Buck, owns the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia.
Stephanie Dorgan, Peter's second wife, founded and already owned the very
successful Crocodile Cafe when they got together. I have seen stories in
Seattle Publications about the Seattle music scene which mentioned Stephanie
Dorgan and her club and she was always called "Dorgan" in her local papers,
never "Buck." The only time I see her name written as Stephanie Buck is when
people post about her on-line. Many women who are educated and sophisticated,
especially ones successful in their own right, as Ms. Dorgan certainly is,
don't change their own last name when they marry. (It rather obliterates one's
identity.) I am assuming that the local papers of her hometown know the proper
form to use (which would be the one she decided on upon marrying). But I am
not sure about it.

Dang! I meant to change the title of this thread. Peter doesn't have a bar.
Although he was said to be in the process of opening one in the future
according to an article that appeared a long time ago. This future club, a much
larger venue than the Crocodile Cafe which was to continue as is, was going to
be owned by Buck along with his wife, Stephanie Dorgan and Scott McCaughey (one
of my favorite musicians after seeing him play last summer and buying a couple
of Minus Five cds) and possibly other partners. The site for this new club was
said to have terribly "bad vibes" in it's past incarnations. (Apparently it was
a pretty rough place.) But the article I saw said that McCaughey's "sunny
personality" should banish those bad vibes. I haven't heard anything about the
club (even the intended name) since then. The article implied that the building
was going to need a lot of renovation (and anyone who had to hire contractors
for home improvements knows what a nightmare that can be). But has anyone her
heard anything about this new club? Has it opened yet?

whether or not barrie still owns the 40 watt i could have sworn that it said
the former mrs. peter buck. oh well...

Thank you so much for the Politically Correct advice. I, too, know women who
are educated and sophisticated. They would have recognized that I didn't know
Peter Buck's wife's name and elected not to write 'Peter Buck's wife's' because
of the obvious clumsiness inherent in such a phrase. I was surprisingly more
interested in the ownership of the bar than Mr. Bucks marital status and
history.
