I have not found reliable documentation as to when the Venture-N closed.
The end of 2002 is close but there were not many publications at that exact time,
to reference, and Eclipse (below) still lists the club as late as March of 2003.
Do not know if that was accurate or it just did not get dropped readily from the bar page.

two of the Houston owners were from Tucson and owned a bar there
