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.

All sorts of crazy, Bao-related food shit happening on St. Mark's Place
Lordy! Eater has the details on ... on.... this:
And there's more... which you can read at Eater.
Michael 'Bao' Huynh has a new concept up his sleeve. He's partnering with Nicole Van Croft (left!) a Playboy Bunny ... on a burger, fried chicken, and waffles concept on St. Mark's Place. Croft, who Bao says makes "the best southern style fried chicken and waffles" will be the culinary force behind the place, which will be located at 125 St. Mark's Pl. The tentative name is Bao & Buny.

'Another' DeNiro movie filming on East 12th Street
In addition to "30 Rock" filming around here today ... @jschauma points out that "Another Night" — starring Robert DeNiro and Paul Dano — set up shop this morning on East 12th Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue. (P.S. — you're too late to pose as a crew member for a free breakfast from craft services) ... This is the adaptation of Nick Flynn's memoir "Another Bullshit Night in Suck City."
BoweryBoogie has more on "Another Night" filming around the LES...

Phil Hartman bringing a 'performance venue' back to former Mo Pitkin's space
This (kind of!) confirms the rumors that we had been hearing... and mentioned back on Feb. 23: Phil Hartman is going to make another go at 34 Avenue A, which was most recently Aces and Eights.
Hartman and his brother Jesse opened Mo Pitkin’s House of Satisfaction — the two-level restaurant/bar/performance space — in 2005.
It closed two years later. As New York put it: "[Mo Pitkin's] was the promised land for the busty neo-burlesque stars, pseudo-sane performance artists, and guitar-playing trapeze acrobats rendered homeless by the closing of Fez (and Surf Reality and Collective Unconscious and every other small, anything-goes downtown venue)."
The landlord sold the building a year later, Aces and Eights arrived in March 2009 ... So enough history...
Phil Hartman's name is listed as the contact on the just-posted CB3 flyer outside 34 Avenue A...
We reached out to Hartman last night to learn more about his plans. We haven't heard back yet.
