One of Eugene’s oldest and most fabled bar-and-music clubs, John Henry’s will close its doors at their 136 E. 11th Ave. location to make room for affordable housing to be built on the site. Bar owners said the new John Henry’s could open as early as June at 77 W. Broadway. Promoter Keith Martin said six bands will play the final night. The bands include: The Necrosluts, the Visible Men, the Courtesy Clerks, Jucifer, the Wristrockets and Pass Out Kings. Each band will get 40 minutes of stage time, 10 minutes to set their equipment up and 10 minutes to take it down. ' “This is the final, final night of rock ’n’ roll of John Henry’s before we open up the new place,” Martin said. “Ten years of rock down to one night and six bands.” Martin said that the headlining Pass Out Kings has been working with a professional light technician to make sure the last show at John Henry’s is a memorable one. While the band’s show is still a secret, Martin said to expect lots of fog, lights and other strangeness. “They always put on a good show, but this one will be mind boggling,” he said. The John Henry’s staff is already stripping the building on 11th Av enue to bring it over to the new building. This will limit the dam age patrons may create during the last night of business, Martin said. “I expect there will be some may hem and destruction at the end of the night,” he said. “Everybody will want to take home a little piece of John Henry’s.” —John Liebhardt You can read the Emerald from anywhere in the world.

Anyone interested in donating blood can register in the EMU Main Lobby and proceed to the mobile parked outside the EMU Fishbowl on University Street. Donors need to bring a photo identification carcV if they have never given blood to the Lane Memorial Blood Bank. Foi? returning donors, only a donor card, is necessary, blood bank spokes woman Chris Stockdale said. She said the drive, which is spon sored by the University Alumni As sociation, is being held in response to the constant need for blood. After lots of donation usage last weekend, there is an especially high need for A-positive blood. The bank also wants to make do nating blood easier for students. “We want to set up a regular schedule with the University and make it convenient for the students to donate,” she said. Stockdale recommended donors eat a large, high-protein meal before donating. She said they must also be in good health with no long-term health problems, nor a current cold or flu. Minimum age is 17, and par ticipants must weigh at least 110 pounds. For today’s drive, no one with tattoos or body piercings received within the last year will be eligible to donate. But after May 8, their do nations will be accepted as long as the work was done in a doctor’s of fice or Oregon-licensed business. The next drive is set for May 10.
