Ripley's

The East Side Club ran strong for several years, but eventually, for reasons unclear to me, Bobby Startup migrated to a new club on South Street called Ripley's. Ripley's was a huge space with a big stage for touring bands. The intimacy of the East Side Club was gone (the E.S.C. was literally underground beneath an office building on Chestnut Street), but the continuing flow of international post-punk and independent bands continued to provide inspiration for a vibrant underground. Bobby brought me along for the ride and the poster making continued.
