Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 perform at a private party to celebrate the reopening of the Crocodile Café, which opened for business at 8:30pm after the party had finished.

Info from The Stranger
The party began privately with an impromptu set by Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3 (Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, and Bill Rieflin), after which the doors opened to the public for a bill that began with the Quiet Ones. Before going on, one of the Quiet Ones muttered something about being nervous playing for "all these celebrities in the room." Attendees included Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), John Roderick (the Long Winters), Nate Manny (Murder City Devils), and Scott Plouf (Built to Spill). Many of the club's owners, including Sean Kinney, Susan Silver, Peggy Curtis, Eric Howk, and Marcus Charles, were present. Charles, who also owns a stake in Belltown's Juju and the Capitol Hill Block Party, will manage the Crocodile's daily operations.
