Ruba Update: Fringies Closing In
As we reported last week, a confab of the Fringe Festival’s Nick Stuccio and North 3rd restaurant’s Mark B. are sniffing around the RUBA Hall so that they might turn it from the world’s most awesome old-Russian-cum-hipster-ping-pong parlor to some kind of artsy fartsy Fringe space where that chick with the knitting needles can knit herself right into a post-feminist performance-art stupor. Icepack pack is reporting today that their struggle continues, and not for nothing, what a load of shit. We begrudge the fine folks at the Fringe and North 3rd nothing, but isn’t anyone interested in keeping the RUBA as close to as-is as possible? Shit’s historic, yo.
