From Nippertown!:

Over the weekend, Jason’s Upstairs Bar in Hudson shuttered its doors for good, but not before kicking out the jams one final time on Saturday night. The big send-off throwdown featured performances by Mother Fletcher, the Last Conspirators, Young Paris, Lady Moon, Musty Chiffon and others. And while it was certainly sad to see Hudson’s premier nightclub close, the farewell bash was rocking’, rollickin’ affair. The best news of all is that “The Last Hurrah” raised $1,469 for Doctors Without Borders and their Haitian earthquake relief effort.

Meanwhile, the good news is Hudson is Helsinki Hudson, the new bar from the folks who closed the Club Helsinki nightspot in Great Barrington last August, just installed its sound board and should be ready to open in March.
