Downtown lit/media event standby Mo Pitkin's House of Satisfaction is no more—an official closing date has been announced for October 21st. The following e-mail was sent out to performers at the restaurant/venue:

We're sorry to say, but Mo Pitkin's will be closing on October 20th, 2007, with a closing night party/performance on October 21st at 8pm. Building our bi-level performance space was an enormous undertaking, done with a lot of love, but it created a debt load that the club just could not sustain. Our deepest apologies to all those with gigs subsequent to that; with the recent press articles about our "imminent" closing, it's just become impossible for us to continue to stay open.

But what will the world do without events that mix ex-Voicer Rachel Kramer Bussel with media guru Jon Friedman and Stella dude David Wain? Where will Heeb writers get their story ideas? Where will editorial assistants go to get hit on by their editors? What about the moonlighting Times columnists? Will anyone think of the chopped-liver topped hamburger eaters?

If you want to buy the property, it's all yours... for $5.9 million.
