OH-SO-HIP VENUE FINDS ADH TOO CHALLENGING FOR GROOVY TRUST-FUNDERS

Special to the Dr. Hal Report

San Francisco– It’s official– the  run of the Ask Dr. Hal! Show at Viracocha, scene of recent performances, has been terminated by the management.

Citing “drug use on stage” as the reason (?), Viracocha brass nixed the popular night club event as “not right for us.”

The club will devote its stage time to various indistinguishable rock bands, the Dr. Hal Report has learned.

In a climate of the city’s War On Fun (see web site), Viracocha solons were unwilling to risk their spot on the map to put on a curious question-and-answer show.

Of course, the rock bands are just as illegal as anything else there, according to Byzantine regulations and a permit process the City of San Francisco’s cops use to prevent all but the most middle-of-the-road, bland, “approved” entertainments from happening (“Greater Tuna,” anyone?).

If they’re so worried about legitimacy, quipped one ADH performer, “why don’t they fix their [highly illegal lack of] a street door in the case of fire?” We here at the Dr. Hal Report see the whole thing as a question of priorities. ‘Nuff said.

Future Dr. Hal shows will happen this year, though. Negotiations are now underway between ADH bookers and Stagewerx. More on this to come!

And, for your Dr. Hal fix, all you fans of the show, don’t miss our farewell to S.P.A.C.E. -themed Ask Dr. Hal! show at the J.R. “Bob” Dobbs Memorial Hall, where ADH trod the boards a few scant years ago. Mark your calendars– the Ask Dr. Hal! Show at S.P.A.C.E., proceeds to benefit Skot Kuiper and the former S.P.A.C.E. crew, will take place this month– the night of August 18th, 2012.

The show will start at 8:00 PM. Following the show, a DJ’d Dance Party will round out the evening. All are welcome. Come to be present at the End of an Era!

And WATCH here for announcements of future shows! In October and November, ADH will come roaring back!
