Let the rescheduling begin! After last week's abrupt closing of The Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale, concert promoters have been trying to find new homes for the full slate of fall shows that had already been booked at the venue.
So far, the club has found new accommodations for two of the biggest shows. The Ace Frehley show, originally set for Oct. 29 at the Donkey, has been moved to Mulcahy's in Centereach, 1702 Middle Country Rd., on Oct. 30.
And the Good Rats reunion show, set for Dec. 3 at the Donkey, has been moved to Ollie's Point in Amityville on the same day. Tickets for the original shows will be honored at the new dates; tickets are still available for both concerts.
'Success is zero deaths on the roadway' Newsday reporters spent this year examining the risks on Long Island's roads, where traffic crashes over a decade killed more than 2,100 people and seriously injured more than 16,000. This documentary is a result of that newsroom-wide effort.
