Hello Everyone, Just wanted to update everyone on the status of Stalag 2000. We are still working out details for a new location. The old location of 18 N. 40th Street (40th and Market) is no longer being considered, because of some issues that PENN has about safety of students, and the single family homes only a few feet away. It looks like we have found a new one, and will begin working on making it a legal space in the next few days. With zoning board hearings and inspections etc, it will take several weeks for this to happen. We are shooting for a grand opening date of January 1st 2000.That is if the world doesn't end as the clock strikes Midnight. Until then we will still be doing shows at The First Unitarian Church and The Killtime (next to the old Stalag 13) So keep your eyes open for new show announcements.

I promise promise if you show up on time you will get in. Doors will open at 7PM. So maybe show up at 6:30 if you want to be extra specially safe. We can fit 700 people in that basement. I dont think either band will draw that at a DIY show. (I have been wrong before.) But if you show up on time you will be fine.
