John Henry’s plans
for big final night
John Henry’s has announced
the line-up for Friday, its final
night of business.
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.”

The Coup to perform
in amphitheater
The ASUO Multicultural Center
has some good news and some bad
news for hip-hop fans.
The bad news first: Today’s Dead
Prez show at the McDonald Thes'
atre has been canceled due to a
“family emergency” within the'
band, said Steve Morozumi, MCC*
programs adviser.
Now, the good news: The Coup,
the original opening act for the
Dead Prez show, will perform at
4:30 p.m. today at the EMU Am
phitheater. The show is free.
The Coup, the Oakland-based
hip-hop team of Boots Riley and DJ
Pam, are touring on their latest re
lease, “Party Music.”
Morozumi said poets Chareef
Williams and Terry Riggins will
open the show with Ziad on trum
pet. Portland hip-hop artist
Madgestiq will then take the stage.
After the show, MCC is sponsor
ing a question and answer session
with Boots Riley at 8 p.m. in the
EMU Fir Room.
“Boots is a controversial and in
teresting speaker,” Morozumi said.
Morozumi also said MCC is at
tempting to reschedule the Dead
Prez show for a later date in May.

Bloodmobile workers
to prick students today
The Lane Memorial Blood Bank
Bloodmobile is coming to the Uni
versity from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to
day.
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.

Lane Memorial Blood Bank at 484
