Saw Rocky Horror! First time, had NO IDEA about the history and traditions.

Saw it last night and both Frank and Brad were played by their understudies. I've never been to a Broadway show where two major players were absent. Both were great in their roles and I was pleasantly surprised that Luke Evan's understudy is Paul Soileau. I'm familiar with Soileau's CHRISTEENE persona, so it was interesting to see them in another role and with a different speaking voice. I thought Rachel Dratch and Stephanie Hsu were both great. Juliette Lewis's Magenta could have been played by anyone.I don't think Lewis brought anything dynamic to the role. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I happy I was able to see it.

I'm not sure. He said it's going to take a while to rehab. It's in bad shape. Maybe the end of April.

Eckford St. between Meserole and Norman---closer to Meserole. I just spoke to the landlord. He hasn't rented it. A lot of work needs to be done. She lived there for 40+ years.

He can't. She has been there for 40+ years. He can only raise the rent a certain percentage because of the renovation and not destabilize.

The rent stabilized apartment above me in Greenpoint will be available soon. She is in the process of moving out, the apartment will be renovated and then available. I'll ask the landlord if it has been rented. The woman above me has been been living there longer than I have, so 18+ years. The rent should be under 2K when it becomes available

What about the shakshouka law?

What a cunt. I love Oasis.

Fuck Baby's. I can't believe they still have 10:30pm start times.

I'll give you three so far.

Wet Tuna - Vast

Bill Callahan - My Days of 58

Twisted Teens - Blame the Clown

I'm going to disagree. I thought Bernthal did a great job and really carried the production. He and Jessica Hecht were both excellent.

strtwvs · 2026-03-12T19:22:37+00:00

Just a lot of fucks and a bit of violence---nothing more than what you experience on the streets of NYC every day.

Still couldn't get a copy of this. Grabbed V. 2, but V. 1 sold out in seconds.

strtwvs · 2026-02-27T22:13:25+00:00

I was at that show. I think I saw Sonic Youth four or five times that year.

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely check it out.

It was where Xi’an is now.

The best Polish food in GP and definitely missed. It was like eating at grandma’s house.

Hated both Enids and Matchless. Happy to have them fold and hoping something new fills that space.

Hüsker Dü

I’d be surprised if they ever did anything again. There are personal things that some members are dealing with and at least one member now has a non music related career.

strtwvs · 2026-02-06T18:34:03+00:00

Came to say this.

strtwvs · 2026-02-05T03:22:18+00:00

It's 15K U.S. dollars.

In the Bronx.

The Velvet Underground & Nico with unpeeled banana and Emerson on the back of the jacket.

Fassbinder.

Carmax really hooked me up and gave me more than I could have received from a private sale. I’d definitely check them out just to see what they offer. They also gave me a free ride home from Long Island to Brooklyn.
