Chop Suey's new owners and popular talent buyer Jodi Ecklund have come to an agreement to keep her on staff, and the club will remain committed, as Ecklund put it in an e-mail to The Stranger, to being "a live music venue with a heavy focus on continuing to foster the local music community." Chop Suey's last show was on January 20; its schedule is currently empty, as Ecklund was instructed to cease booking beyond that date.

I've contacted new Chop Suey co-owner Brianna Rettig for comment about the Capitol Hill venue's future direction and re-opening date and will update this post when/if she responds.
