Che Cafe is one of those crazy places left standing after the dust settled from 69. It’s eccentric, colorful and has a cause for everyone. Officially it is a vegan food joint and has some decent food, but it regularly has indie and punk bands that come and play in the little cosy studio-like room. Admission is generally free but the bands request you support them by buying some merch. The place is old and it shows. It has probably never been repaired but that’s what adds to the ambience of the place. Every now and then, Goths have mysterious conventions there and you see them congregated outside. Most people in Revelle and Muir should already know about Che, since you guys pass it on the way to the Revelle parking lots. For everyone in other colleges, you should check it out if only once. Look up show times and you should enjoy the music. This one time I saw this band that didn’t know the words to their song. So they made it up as they went, with the audience helping them make up some of their rhymes.

Took a couple of good pictures last night. Most of the graffiti pictured here are in the inner courtyard. Great kickback to the seventies. Recently, I’ve heard that the school is trying to shut Che and other student run co-ops down. They have lists of ways you can help out on Che cafe’s website.

So yeah, I’m going to post a map so its easy to find and a link to their website.
