  2. Do you think the Mercury Lounge and Bowery Ballroom are holding out for a better deal? Webster Hall is landmarked and does its own promotions. Rough Trade NYC is now part owned by AEG? I'm confused. Weird.

  3. I got a good deal on those boys. The scouts said they showed a lot of promise.

  4. I hope the new venue on Lafayette works out. I wish that Hi-Fi would do music full time like when it was Brownies. If noise is an issue, I thought, what bout doing a more architectural awning out front, like they have at movie theaters,you know, kind of like scaffolding where everyone stands under it.

  5. Mercury Lounge and Bowery Ballroom were, are, and always will be overrated dumps. Too bad lames own better spaces in Village Underground and Le Poisson Rouge.

    That new venue on Lafayette will bomb because it's not big enough to generate enough revenue from French toast, eggs, omelettes, and live music 30-50 people will pay to see (and I'm being kind with 30-40.)

    Hi-Fi and Continental could easily have live music but are owned by lames who'd rather cater to the bro/shebro/woohoo/NYU crowd.

    So many memorable quotes.

    The late great Paul Newman's lone straight up comedy, I think. I wish he had done more comedies.
