While reading an article on Denver's booming indie rock scene, I came across this:
Hi-Dive owner Matt LaBarge isn't sweating the competitive high jinks. The Denver native hopes to avoid it all by changing the programming at his new indie bar, which occupies the old Seven South/Quixote's space at 7 S. Broadway.

Sure enough, I found this on the Quixotes message boards:
These masterpieces that we draw our inspiration from form the essence of the ballroom. It has culminated from the mistakes of Quixote's True Blue, which trudges along from failure to failure always seeing another grand adventure in the horizon. It is this sense of adventure, however, failable that keeps the spirit churning. And even as Don Quixote is sacrificed so that Cervantes' may prosper we grow closer to that elusive point of time which Bob Dylan holds in front of us like a carrot: "Someday life will be sweet like a rhapsody, when I paint my masterpiece" We are fast approaching that day, but God forbid we ever finish or complete anything because then the carrot will gone.So thus ends another chapter of Quixote's True Blue, its star has shown brightly and it will shine again, but for now it must be sacrificed for the greater good. Its' force is stronger now and it will only get stronger as its spirit has been transferred into Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom. Quixote's is now imbedded in the fabric of our community as an integral part and it will not soon fade away. Its' physical manifestation may be gone, but its spirit lives on, grows and flourishesin all of us. The force is with you, please help us to continue this dream...
I don't know how I missed this - probably since I don't drive past it every day anymore - but there you go. Poor Quixotes. You were filled with dirty hippies, but I still loved you.

Well, that kind of sucks. That place was fun. Dirty hippies, they are my people!
Tie-dye Bob must be devastated. ;)
