The Times is reporting that the Crocodile Cafe will, after some vague "construction," re-open in early 2009 with a Via Tribunali pizza kitchen in back. Live music will be sound engineered by the Croc's own Jim Anderson. No clue yet who will do the booking, or anything else, really, for that matter. But, there are photos online of how things look at the moment. So, we guess the disappearance of the Croc was really just a chance for the storied Belltown bar to get a little space before it comes back to us for good. And, damn, with pizza! Hott action.

The word on the Web is that another Seattle venue has been sold. The club on the auction block this time? Chop Suey, apparently sold to a yet-to-be-named Japanese company. Hannah Levin and Reverb were the first to report the story after Miss Levin ran into Chop Suey's booker Pete Greenberg on a Ballard bike ride last night. Greenberg, who was also the booker at the dearly beloved and departed Crocodile, must be feeling particularly unlucky--which is a shame because he does a hell of a job. Our sources tell us a press release is currently being crafted to officially announce the sale.
