Skylark no longer involved in Eagle sale/closing

I had a much too long overdue catch-up dinner with The Jamez last night and didn't make into gear and over to Skylark until around 9:30. Glendon Hyde/Anna Conda had "invited" all for 8:00. By that time there were still maybe a dozen, maybe ten, guys in leather and/or Eagle gear still at the bar. All of them very leather and very charming. Some of them hadn't been there that long either and had no new information. Vince had been there longer and could only offer updated unofficial word that Skylark and its people were no longer involved in the sale of the Eagle. Links to more, and hopefully credibly sourced, information will follow here when I come across them.

Update: The SF Weekly seems to be covering this news pretty closely online.  See yesterday morning's detailed report on the situation (short version of what appears to be happening: the absentee property owner Nikitopoulos is a acting like a huge prick, and not in the good way), and see the Weekly's blog posts on what this all really means.

And the Always Awesome Matt Baume has this report filed today (Thursday, April 14) with the Bay Area Reporter. Again, it looks like the property owner is the problem, refusing to let anyone buy the place who would keep the Eagle running. Judging by a caption to the BAR article, it looks like I was much too late to the Skylark last night: "Supervisor Scott Wiener and former Supervisor Bevan Dufty spoke to about 50 activists as they held a sit-in Monday night at the Skylark bar, whose owner is slated to buy the Eagle Tavern."

Another update: More from the BAR on the Eagle's liquor license transfer sale.
