Hey, I remember when you guys were shooting at Accidental. That's when I was still working at Alt.
Alt is gone, but returning: The owners have teamed up with a couple of business partners to open up a more family-friendly joint. They're currently in the midst of renovations. As for Accidental, they'd been on the edge of closing for a pretty long time - if I recall correctly, Craig owed his landlord god knows how much in rent, and was refusing to pay (while screwing the kids that worked for him out of their pay on a regular basis as well, despite already paying them under minimum wage off the books). They were open 24 hours because it kept the landlord from closing them down, or something like that. One way or another he finally found an in and that was that. They relocated to the store front of a drug squat on St. Marks, which only lasted a few months before the city condemned the building. And that, as far as I know, was that.
