Along with Gene Thomas, headliners will be The Missiles band and vocal group along with San Antonio's own Denny Ezba. This will mark the first time that a Teen Nite Spot has been put into operation and we're betting everybody will dig the idea. 1979 Spurs coach Doug Moe is fined $3,000 by the NBA for the inflammatory comments he made after the Spurs loss to the Washington Bullets six days ago. This is the highest fine ever levied against an NBA coach. Radio station KTSA has organized a "Dough for Moe" fundraiser, requesting 300,000 pennies to be sent to the league to pay the fine. 1980 Hipp's Bubble Room at 1411 McCullough closes.
