I'm curious if the picture of the empty store was during the concert or if there really wasn't anyone even shopping during the closing event. Tough times to be going out of business - can't even give stuff away.

i'd buy her flowers.

The rest of the store was actually very crowded while the performance was going on, probably the most crowded I've ever seen it.
Great show!

When does the store actually close? This wasn't the last day, right?
I have to say, I really will miss the Virgin Megastore in Union Square. It was the best of the big CD stores in town and was, of course, the only one left. Now, it's Other Music or... what, Amazon?
The employees at Virgin were actually into customer service on occasion. Crazy, I know. They clearly had been trained in using the power of small-- they stayed open when everyone else failed faster by retaining people through detailed service.
Forgive me for the rant, but I think it's really because I'm in love with Annie Clark and I'm just venting.

Is that first hat Supreme? Also, the set list font is so fitting for her; it looks like the menu at an upscale, modern restaurant.

Sickos. New album is dope though. Best of the year, top 5 of the decade.

What a lame, boring way to end your store's run.
Posted by Anonymous | May 6, 2009 8:49 AM
the store is open for the rest of the month I think

The clearance prices are actually more expensive than the prices before the "store closing! everything must go!" sale started.
They used to have giant ten dollar dvd bins. Now those bins are 20% off of the regular price, which is between $14.99 and $19.99 for the discs in those bins. Not a good deal in my opinion.

I saw Annie in her backstage room of the Bowery once doing blow before a show. Other than that she seems nice enough and I'm liking the new album. Wish I didn't have to work so I could have seen this!

Stop starting rumors you asshole. I'm sure that is not true.

Thanks for the great pics. The Webster Hall show later this month should be fun.

Great pics. So cute... This is probably one of the only big box retailers I"m sad to see go. A landmark for me in NYC way before I even lived here...

That's because the liquidation companies are in charge and basically charge what they want. On 'This American Life' a few weeks ago there was a story about Circuit City closing down and the employees talked about it all.

The new album is too good for her not to have written it on blow. Go clean, Annie!!!!!

It was a good show but I was getting tired of all of the coke-fueled rants she was throwing out :(

This show took place before I found out that Locke is planning to kill Jacob. Totally new mindset now.
