Larry Daniel is the unflappable gent who has been running the door and deejaying at the Climax and its predecessor, the Raven, since the locale’s disco heyday. He’s also been putting up gracefully with hordes of punk brats and drunk scenesters since the venue started hosting rock shows in 1994. When he’s trying to clear the room at 1:45 in the morning, he gets on stage and bellows into the mike, “All right, folks — it’s No-Tell Motel time!” Which is pretty funny during an all-ages show, when the crowd is made up of sixteen-year-old kids with liberty spikes.
