Lights Out For Legendary Venue, Mr Lady's Uterus
Tuesday, October 26, 2010 at 1:34PM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Houston, Texas – (October 26, 2010) – Mr Lady’s Uterus, a renowned local hotspot, is closing its doors after a memorable history. Founded on March 20, 1975, the Uterus remained an unknown until bursting onto the scene in the late-90’s when it launched the existence of 1of3. Though it has been nearly thirteen years since those grungy days of flannel and angst, 1of3 still embodies that era and its sensibility. “That was my first apartment. I mean it’s not like I can go back, but I’ll still kind of miss it, ya know?” said 1of3.
Less sentimental was 2of3, who could not be reached for comment. Though he emerged just two short years after 1of3, they don’t often play the same venues anymore. “He tries to punch me in the face. It’s not cool,” said 1of3. The Uterus was dormant for a few years after 2of3, hosting only a local legend known as “Big Daddy” and of course the house band “IUD.” But just five short years ago, 3of3 came on the scene, bringing new irreverence and joy. “I’m a puppy!” she offered, when asked for comment. Many will miss the historic hallowed halls of Mr Lady’s Uterus. “That place was so fucking punk rock,” said Big Daddy. “I rocked that joint so hard. I helped make everything that came out of there. It's the end of an era, man...”
Those feeling nostalgic for Mr Lady’s Uterus, will be please to know that although it will no longer be accepting new tenants (and will in fact be relocated to a nearby bio-hazard facility) visitors to the old site will be able to arrive via the newly refurbished Bionic Bubble Yum Windtunnel™. Sound effects, wifi, a bottle opener and DVD/VCR combo are available options in the upgrade, but a full list of amenities has not been made available at press time. Following the renovation, admittance to the Windtunnel™ will be strictly VIP, invitation only--- if admittance is even allowed at all. Because seriously, the place will be pristine and we don’t need anything fucking it up.

Haha. But also, yikes. You ok?
The BYWT is dead.
All hail the new BYWT!
(releases doves)
Oh my goodness. How are you?
Word.
I have more problems with the groupies, those damn ovaries.
Guess all legends have to become legends at some point.
xoxo
You are hilarious.
This is almost as sad as when CBGB's closed.
Lights BIC in reverence.
Aw, hope you are ok.
And I'm going to need a keg cooler in my BYWT.
Hope all goes well with the remodel.
You might want to consider getting some of those velvet ropes for the new opening. And possibly a bouncer.
The image of your uterus in flannel is just making my day.
Goodbye uterus. Thank you for your service to humanity. You may now retire with distinction.
Damn, and I was hoping to play there someday after I got the band back together.
Or something.
Hope you're doing alright, Shannon.
Having been through my own remodel, I wish you all the best. Sincerely.
Sterility is very calming.
Best. Post. Ever.
(get well soon)
The day my uterus made its departure from my anatomy was the best day ever...it was also the day my ginormous boobies became itty bitty titties...great day all over my anatomy!
Good luck!!!
Huge vote of support for uterus-less neighborhoods, here. Very calm, with a marked lack of bodily fluids. Enjoy. ;)
Wow, a wind tunnel? That IS an upgrade.
While I never can claim to have rocked at this venue, reading this post makes me think I have. In fact, other than BigDaddy, I believe all who read this experience a similar phenomenon that can best be summed up by saying "If you can remember being at Woodstock, you obviously weren't there."
C:
You are WAY too young to have to have The Procedure I think you are having, and OH BOY YAY for hormone replacement therapy. And I am with Moosh In Indy, it is those damn ovaries that give me hell. Good luck and speedy recovery!
I am feeling a little ripped off.... my venue closed and all I got was a lousy box of suppositories...
Wow. The Sperm Factory didn't even rate an obit when it was nipped in the bud.
Goodbye, Mr. Uterus.
I knew buying the rights to use the likeness of the old venue on T-shirts would pay off. Time to open my Etsy Store!
I cannot match your wit or that of your readers. But wishing you a speedy recovery.
Mr Lady would be proud, honey.
You did her (and her Bubble Yum Windtunnel) proud.
Well, you didn't actually "do her" per se... wait did you? ...are there pictures? Just asking is all.
...nevermind
Hoping your recovery is swift and relatively painless...
Wow. This post is classic. My vacant uterus mourns the end of Mr. Lady's. Mine's been shut down via eminent domain. Or zoning. Or something like that.
I feel like maybe I should send you a bouquet of anti-static cloths and stainless-steel polish for the upgraded version.
Um. Get well soon?
Fare thee well, fair uterus.
I'm sure your uterus will be well met on its journey to the havens. Congratulations on your light-hearted approach to it. It's certainly not worth being down about after all.
This post is awesome. The rest of it, maybe not so awesome. Hope everything is smooth and swift, and you're feeling much better soon.
This was hilarious but YIKES. Get better soon!
One of the best things I have ever read..really...I mean it...
Is it wrong of me to want to write a song about this to the tune of Candle in The Wind.
Brilliant. Effing brilliant.
Pouring one out. Take care, Mr. Lady.
Thinking about the BYWT. <3

Awesome post! And also, thinking good thoughts for you.
Bubble Yum--is that the new flavor?
My uterus went running and screaming 8 years ago--so glad that bitch ain't been back.
(Specially since she knocked a huge hole in the wall getting out)
Good luck and speedy recovery

So my first time back here in what...a year and half or so...and all I get is Mr. Lady minus a uterus?!? Bummer. (P.S. I missed this blogging crap)
Lets all tip a glass in thanks to Mr. Uterus.
If you ever wish to exchange the wind tunnel for a slightly-used, no-longer-needed uterus that apparently has a few years of fertility remaining we can work out a deal.
me loves @mrlady http://www.whiskeyinmysippycup.com/2010/10/26/mr-ladys-uterus/
It was a good uterus...well, right up until the part where it wasn't and needed be be evicted.
Hope you're doing well.
