Today, KUOW’s the Conversation discussed the closing of the Crocodile. It’s a little bizarre how the host tries to blame the closing on music downloads, but there are a lot of good comments and analysis from guests like Pete Greenberg, John Richards, Imaginary Liz, and Josh from BOAT. Callers mention the cool, semi-secret, VIP seating area for parents. [kuow]

I think that Stephanie Dorgan deserves a whole lot of credit for running the club as a “labor of love” for all of these years, but it isn’t completely bizarre that (in addition to closing so abruptly) no one has been able to get a hold of her or that she didn’t even release a brief statement to the press? I guess it’s giving radio show hosts, ‘bloggers, and radio listeners to speculate wildly.

(via reverb, sound on the sound, three imaginary girls, etc.)
