The "Margaritas" closes
As the owner Derek informed has the pub been sold and will be opened on March, 28th for the last time. He wrote: "We are having a big closing party, with a band and $2.00 all drinks starting at 2pm till the booze runs out."
Some of our readers may wonder why we publish such a piece of news, as the "Margaritas" is unknown to us and only experts of the Amiga history will already have heard about it or even know it.

"Hey All-
I'm putting this one up as a new item, more than an invite,
given the distances likely. But if you're in the area, we're working out a
C= get-together, probably either Friday or Sunday. If you've seen "The Deathbed
Vigil", or just followed C= lore (the Amiga 3000's first public debut, etc), this
is part of the whole history. I haven't been back there in a while (meaning some
months, not years)... Andy, Bob [Russell], and I were the last to "keep the faith"
on a regular basis, when at Fortele (Greg Berlin, Mike Rivers, and Carolyn
Scheppner were around, too). Anyway, that's the news. I'll have a box of DBVs
with me, when I'm there... Margarita's wasn't just "Part 2" in my film, it was
maybe the best view of us as people -- C= had become alien, but Margarita's was
still "home"." (cr) (Translation: wk)
