HOLLYWOOD: From a tipster: "The Thursday before Memorial day weekend, the club The Day After (aka Montmartre Lounge) closed. Well, actually the owners (who live in Mexico) hadn't paid the rent for months, so the landlord came and changed the locks." We also noted Montmartre Lounge on the DOH closure list, so there you go.
