    This truly sucks. Whenever we visit my wife and I would always make a stop at the Croc. My first time was in 1996 and as we sat and ate Mark Arm from Mudhoney came up and asked for one of our chairs. Fast forward 10 years and I'm watching Mudhoney play on the release date of their new album. Had a chance to talk to Steve Turner, saw Charles Peterson and that girl in the movie Hype! who worked for Sub Pop. Such a great spot. A huge loss for Seattle and the north west.

    pj playing with heart,mudhoney,supersuckers,c-average,hovercraft would be cool(but not likely).....but seattles bands gotta get together and blow the roof off. it would be great!

    really,they missed out on a great chance to have bands play that played at the croc over the years.
    i'll always remember bieng in a stall taking a whizz,and ed opening the door
    before i zipped up,we both apologized,no harm done. then afterwards sitting and chatting for 30 min or so.
    he was sipping his tea and i was having this great tasting pale ale,i wish i knew the name of it.standing and talking to beth,who was kind enough to let a
    fan yak at her about what a cool band they were.
    anyway,lots of memories at the croc

    Your right. I went there after Benaroya to see Mike Watt and ended up meeting my wife that night. The best day of my life. Hope it comes back to life (Mike? Ed?).
    ... are we going to the same place?

    I remember going to Seattle in 97' and eating breakfast at the Croc...I asked the girl which booth Stone fired Dave A in...and I got a "how the fuck would I know" reaction.

    It's too bad that it's closed now.

    Ouch. I was introduced to the Pixies at the Croc when a buddy dragged me to a Number 13 Baby show. I'm sad to hear that it has passed.
    this city is so filthy, like my mind in ways

    Awww...this is very sad to hear...I have some good memories at the Croc :(
  • That is sad news, I got to have breakfast there a few times when I was there in 98 but never got to see a band. I can't even imagine seeing mad season there.

    Closed or not, you still need to show me where it stood.
