From the Sacramento Bee:

"More than 700 members of the extended Tower Records family showed up at Empire nightclub on R Street this week to bid farewell to the world's greatest record store chain. Tower founder Russ Solomon played host for the party and was the most upbeat guy in the crowd. Russ told folks the party was a wake and encouraged all to remember the company at its best. The dance floor was filled with mostly locals, but several record industry execs jetted in from Los Angeles. Pizza and beer were served -- a departure from days when Russ wrote blank checks for fancy bashes at hotel ballrooms -- but the memories were priceless. ..."
