Saturday Updates - We Are Closed Tonight

We have more bad news to report...please pass it on to your
friends. Faces on Fourth Street is closed Saturday, July 22,
2006. This is probably the first time in our 28 year history
that we have not only been closed for 4 days, but closed on a
Saturday too. The City of East St. Louis has extended their
curfew and prohibition on liquor sales through Saturday, July
22, 2006. They have eased the curfew, with the curfew and liquor
sales ban starting at midnight tonight, but that really doesn't
help us or any of the other small businesses trying to recover
from this storm and blackout. We are all eager to open up, go
back to work, and welcome our guests back. While Faces on Fourth
Street has power and AC, most of the city is still dark and may
be under a boil order because of power outages at water
treatment plants. We know this has been rough on all of our
customers. We appreciate your patience and look forward to
seeing you all again. When we are finally allowed to go back to
our regular operating hours, we will need everyone's help and
support. We hope you will be eager to come back.

We will continue to post updates as we gain new information.
While we have no news on Sunday, yet, we hope open Sunday, July
23 @ 5 PM for our regularSunday afternoon Keg Party with Quarter
(25 cent) draft Pabst Blue Ribbon. Beyond that, we have been
advised that things will return to normal as power is restored
to the city. We hope to be able to report good news about our
Sunday 18+ Dance Party with Siren's Killer Queens. Watch our
emails and website for updates.

We understand that Novak's plans to open their patio only
tonight, with a live band (powered by generators), as they too
are still without power.
