UCSD’s iconic Ché Café faces possible shut down. Time to man up and help out a local venue that has been giving bands opportunities to play shows. Not too many all ages venues around anymore.
LA JOLLA — An eccentric icon that sits, literally and figuratively, on the fringe at the University of California San Diego is danger of shutting down.
If its student and volunteer operators cannot raise enough money to pay the annual insurance premium due in the spring, and the Ché Café is forced to close, it will be the end of one of the several lives of the wooden structures at the southern edge of UCSD that have been a haven for leftist politics and countercultire since shortly after they opened as the Coffee Hut in 1966.
