So yesterday afternoon, several readers noted the presence of some big yellow NYPD notices outside HiFi on Avenue A ... While we usually do call/e-mail for details on something like this, we did not yesterday. We quickly posted the photos. And we assumed the worst — as we've seen in other situations involving bars and the NYPD.
So while the bar did receive a summons from the NYPD, it did not have any impact on their business hours. HiFi was open as usual yesterday afternoon. We apologized to the folks at HiFi last evening. And we're sorry for causing any unnecessary hysteria among fans of the bar.
Meanwhile, onward!
Long live El DJ 2.0!
Here's a nice piece on El DJ by Chantal Martineau at Fork in the Road.

The Church of Earthalujah at Theatre 80 is not a political rally in a theatre, not a comedy in an improv club, and not a church service with great music — but if isn't all three, you get your money back.

On East Second Street. And for authenticity purposes. The Holiday Tree Street team placed a copy of today's Post of New York next to the little fellow.
Meanwhile, apparently some upstarts in Park Slope think they can horn in on this late tree tossing thing. EV Grieve reader Kate sent along this shot from March 1 on Eighth Avenue and 10th Street...
Go back to Brooklyn! Uh. Or something!
Eminence Front
Thanks to EV Grieve reader Duke for these photos of the EV Lambo v2.0 from last night on Avenue A... (credit for headline also goes to Duke...)

Despite the FDNY presence, everyone appeared to be OK...

Repeat performance: 'Too Many Creeps'
I posted this Bush Tetras song about 18 months or so ago... One of my favorites — the song and the video, starring the Bowery circa early 1980s...
OK, then! HiFi is open
Well, that was fun. After learning that the NYPD put all those yellow stickers on HiFi earlier ... the bar is open ... a bartender says they did "get a ticket," but it's back to business as usual.
