Talkin' trash to the garbage around me.

Ewwww...

The end of an era...
After 33 years in New York City's East Village, legendary punk club C.B.G.B. is expected to move to Las Vegas - commodes and all.

Club owner Hilly Kristal, who lost his lease last year, plans to relocate the venue to downtown Sin City after closing in October. He said he plans to take the bars, doors, toilets and urinals along to recreate the club's atmosphere.

"We're going to take it all," he told Pollstar.
As much as I love CBGB and its legacy, I think I can speak for all of us when I say taking everything to Vegas to "recreate the club's atmosphere" - that atmosphere being "urine-soaked" - sounds a little unsanitary.
