After CBGB’s died in 2006, its remains were scattered like ashes around the country.

The bar stashed in a trailer in Connecticut, the awning pawned off on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and much of the rest of it left to molder here, in a dingy 3,000-square-foot Moishe’s moving company storage space in Williamsburg, a stage dive from the Navy Yard.

I guess that’s sad or something.  You can see the storage space in this typically lame New York Times “multimedia” feature.

Even more sad, however, is this…

There is grim commentary to be found in the fact that Ms. Parnassa-Staley - who once booked acts like Hatebreed and Cattle Decapitation - now makes business calls for CBGB Fashions Inc., a clothing operation run from the storage unit that sells T-shirts, belt buckles, onesies for kids, even a CBGB dog vest for your poodle. That ghastliness is matched only by the news that the club’s former barman, Ger Burgman, son-in-law of the deceased owner, Hilly Kristal himself, is now the customer service representative for online accounts.

Well, at least they have jobs.
