I went to the on on Post Oak to paint the insides (as a volunteer). We used black oil-base enamel and there was no ventilation, so I was high as a kite. But, my best memory is from the one in the Village which was where the Half-Price Books store is now on University. I saw Taj Mahal play there and after his set, Quicksilver Messenger Service, who had finished a concert downtown, showed up unannounced and played a set. Anyone know what year that would have been? Had to be in the late '60s. I'm also remembering a 13th Floor Elevators gig in what was once a grocery store building on Richmond, just east of Mandell. Was that briefly an interation of the Catacombs? I think it's the same site, maybe the same building, as that Menil exhibition bldg.
