room that is being specially con
structed with soundproofing at a
breakneck pace.
While such business combinations
aren't uncommon in a town that has
a Laundromat that offers tanning and
cafe services, Gibbs said Indigo Dis
trict breaks with convention by at
tempting to bring big city nighdife to
a college town.
"We're putting the emphasis on
bringing Eugene up to speed, making
the scene comparable to big cities
and (acceptable) to an urban crowd,"
Gibbs said.
At 23, Gibbs doesn't fit the stereo
type of a typical night club/bar own
er. He is soft-spoken with shaggy
brown hair, and has a taste for rock n'
roll-style clothing. He said he felt ap
prehensive about the publicity his
new business has garnered and ex
pressed worry that Indigo District will
become known as a novelty of his

age, rather than for the venue's merit
as a serious business.
Gibbs — a relative newcomer to
Eugene — said opening Indigo Dis
trict has been a been a dream come
true. Last year, he moved from Long
Beach, Calif., where he had previous
ly been involved in curating local
music shows. He currently studies
music technology at the LIniversity
and said the local attitude agrees
more with him
"1 feel much more comfortable in
Eugene, it's way more laid-back,"
Gibbs said.
Indigo District's dining room
looks like an overgrown living room
— there are palm trees, a waterfall,
ferns, avocado green couches and
overstuffed armchairs. Next to the
front counter, an alcove holds turnta
bles and chairs. Gibbs said as owner,
one of his favorite duties has been
decorating the restaurant.
"The theme is a mix between exot
ic and natural, kind of a mix, like rain
forest meets thrift store," Gibbs said.
Michael Parich, a University stu
dent and occasional performer at
John Henry's, attended the Sept. 22
opening of the bar.
"It was cool," he said. "They seem
to have collected the coolest elements
from other bars in Eugene and fused
them into something new."
As far as the location's future suc
cess, Gibbs is optimistic.
"I'd like to see it deeply entrenched
in the community, making (Eugene)
a place where people want to stay, in
stead of moving off to Portland or
Seattle," he said.
