THANK YOU I LIVE IN BUSHWICK>

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:16 (eighteen years ago) link

it wasn't just black people who were rescued from bushwick!

― mies van der rohffle (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:18 (eighteen years ago) link

rescued? from bushwick?

WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT YOUR PETS.

there should be some sorta sign to this effect when folks enter greenpoint ...

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:23 (eighteen years ago) link

polish people aren't white?

― mies van der rohffle (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:24 (eighteen years ago) link

no, they're "ethnic"

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:27 (eighteen years ago) link

that's the point ... "exotic" white people (poles in greenpoint, hasidim in williamsburg, ukrainians in the east village) aren't there to please newcomers to the neighborhoods!

Americans are so obsessed with all this ethnicity stuff!

I wonder what a bam movie is.

I dare say the fap will be very good!

― the bellefox, Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Stenc, you talk to strangers in bars? Ah youth.

Tom'w night's BAM movie is Richard Lester's How I Won the War featuring John Lennon.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Americans are so obsessed with all this ethnicity stuff!

Because we have actual black people. I'm friends with them, you know!

XP to Jon: All of them? So if I mention you to my neighbors, they'll be glad to hear that your Aunt Kathy is feeling better?

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Stenc, you need to talk me into buying a Saturday plan at Shea this summer. Soon if not tonight.

THOR

― thor heyerdahl (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm not sure when I'm arriving. I need food first... anything good nearby?

― GET EQUIPPED WITH BUBBLE LEAD (ex machina), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 16:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Not sure I'm gonna make it, but will try.

― Ken-Tiki (Ken L), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 16:10 (eighteen years ago) link

i can't make it dudes :( :( :( shiiiiit
maybe next week

― nervous (cochere), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 16:17 (eighteen years ago) link

have fun, everyone!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 16:18 (eighteen years ago) link

you should all come! what warms the blood on a cold night better than booze? my russian ancestors survived many a cold winter with nothing but wodka and the skin of newly killed beasts.

― thor heyerdahl (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 16:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Somehow that's reminding me of the Star Trek episode where Mr. Spock shacks up in the prehistoric cave with Mariette Hartley.

In which departing from his usual diet and eating the flesh of the woolly mammoth causes early onset of the Vulcan seven-year itch.

Tracer, he seemed more standard-issue Vice-esque, though I haven't really committed his looks to memory, but rather his attitude.

I am, however, saddened by the downsizing of glasses-wearing rockabilly gentlemen whatever their field of endeavor.

"I have tasted animal flesh and enjoyed it..." Ken, you're evil.

haha yes!

i have last-minute conflict. one of my oldest nyc friends is having a bday party tonight, and since i'm going to the mercury lounge early on i'm not going to be able to make it to o'connors. will someone kiss the jukebox for me?

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 17:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Mary, horn-rim guy was a jerk. He really was. He was responsible for the re-cooling of O'Connor's -- he got the jukebox in, brought his friends, invited a few musical acts -- but he apparently felt that gave him license to yell at people for whatever reason he wanted. I don't know who else you could be talking about, Bart is really nice, although there have probably been others brought in who I don't know.

wow, lauren, that sucks!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 17:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Lauren :(((((

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

― thor heyerdahl (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 17:18 (eighteen years ago) link

i know, i know. i don't think there's any way around it, though. the friend i'm staying with got tickets for us to see deadly snakes, so that rules out stopping by early and i really have to go to my other friend's thing.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 17:26 (eighteen years ago) link

but i want to have daddy's drinks on friday or saturday...

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 17:27 (eighteen years ago) link

argh i can't do that. i'll probably just stay in harlem all weekend.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 17:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Joel, be a man.

― GET EQUIPPED WITH BUBBLE LEAD (ex machina), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 17:30 (eighteen years ago) link

fuck that.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 17:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Hstencil: yes, I think you did need to spell that thing out, for me at least: what you referred to, in your link, is very obscure where I come from. I mean, no-one has ever heard of it. Of course, you could say that the whole thing is nothing to do with me anyway so I don't need or deserve to have it explained.

All the same, that is odd - 'bam'?

I still think the NYC frenzy for Deadly Snakes is curious. They are another thing that nobody has heard of here, I suppose.

I still think, also, that the fap will be good. Tracer Hand will be present!

― the bellefox, Wednesday, 7 December 2005 18:43 (eighteen years ago) link

BAM = Brooklyn Academy of Music. seems logical enough to me.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 18:46 (eighteen years ago) link

PS, other people are good too, not just Hand. He was just one example.

― the bellefox, Wednesday, 7 December 2005 18:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Eisbar: that does sound logical, but going to a movie at such a place sounds odd.

― the bellefox, Wednesday, 7 December 2005 18:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I must insist, pinefox, that this drumbeat of affection... continue!

My friend Claire, a redhead from Glasgow, visited Brooklyn recently and laughed when she saw the big sign for the Brooklyn Academy of Music. "Bam?? like a wee daftee ned?"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 18:49 (eighteen years ago) link

WAM, BAM, thank you, pinefox!

― Kon-Tiki Reign (Ken L), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 18:54 (eighteen years ago) link

The cinema is a relatively new addition, pf. BAM has been home to world-class music and dance performances since the American civil war. Caruso sang there.
