BREAKING: The End of an Era — RIP Fishco

by Jenny Bloom

According to the Brown University Subcommittee on Alcohol and Other Drugs, FishCo has been closed for good. More to come as soon as we hear more. We loved you FishCo. You brought us so many debauchery-filled nights we will never forget (if we ever remembered them in the first place).

Please comment below with your condolences and Fishkus.

UPDATE: FISHCO MAY BE STAYING OPEN AFTER ALL…

So long to the place that served up my first beer. RIP FishCo

This really is a tragedy. Generations of Brown students will never know the greatness that was The Co. Wednesdays may never be the same.

Does no one remember kurrents? You’re all so young

I remember Kurrents; I started a relationship there. FishCo was longer-lasting than Kurrents, temporally and emotionally. It held different connotations than Kurrents ever did. FishCo was an institution, a Wednesday night ritual that was more frequented by the Brown community than church. I’ve only gone once, ironically, because I am secretly a hipster, but even I understand the historical significance of the Fish Company. Goodbye, drunken freshmen with IDs the equivalent of an index card with a smiley face and an “I am over 18″ box checked. Goodbye, regrets and successes scored on the dance floor, on the poles, in our hearts and minds. Goodbye, refrigerator-shaped bros drinking beer and sketchily hitting on scantily-clad freshmen girls. Goodbye, Thursday morning hangover and Ratty orange juice that still tastes like your expensive screwdriver from the night before. We salute you, and we will always remember those nights spent vomiting over the balcony or in the disgusting toilet, while some chick is banging on the door out of tempo with the shitty techno, screaming at you to hurry up because she has to pee.

Brown we as a collective group at PC feel your pain. Thursdays you will forever be missed. No more wondering how we would bail out on the taxi fare and who would win the hot body contest. FishCo Forever.

[...] this sucks.  Despite conflicting reports as to whether or not FishCo would in fact be reopening this in the new year, a new message [...]

[...] Gov. Chafee ’75 P’14 has been leaning towards Steven O’Donnell as his pick for the twelfth superintendent of the Rhode Island state police. The office is expected to announce his choice in a news conference at 3:30 p.m. today. Chafee’s job discussions with this veteran law-enforcement officer, who also spent time as an undercover investigator of organized crime, follow the unexpected March 3 resignation of Col. Brendan P. Doherty. Barely a week into his new term, Doherty was called into a private meeting with Chafee following his public criticism of Providence’s immigration policy. During his time in office, Doherty spearheaded the institution of the Underage Drinking and Nightclub Safety Task Force responsible for finally busting FishCo. [...]
