union pool >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>union hall

mizzell, Monday, 11 August 2014 18:25 (eleven years ago)

union pool is, as dan alluded to, a fine place to see a show. most of their sound guys seem to know what they're doing.
avoid like the plague friday/saturday nights, and most weeknights in general too i suppose.

ian, Monday, 11 August 2014 18:29 (eleven years ago)

who wants to go to hill country bbq/fried chicken with me sometime?
i went once, it was delicious.

ian, Monday, 11 August 2014 18:31 (eleven years ago)

also, OTHER HALF BREWERY = best beers in brooklyn

ian, Monday, 11 August 2014 18:31 (eleven years ago)

Union Pool's shows have gotten better (sound used to be bad) even though the bar itself has probably gotten worse.

It used to be just pissed jeans, now it's Pissed Jeans, know what I mean?

'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Monday, 11 August 2014 18:37 (eleven years ago)

btw dr morbius, i now have to take a daily heartburn pill.. i feel like i understand more about your needs than ever before.

ian, Monday, 11 August 2014 20:18 (eleven years ago)

well, don't get me started :)

Haa, my friend's band is playing at Union Pool tonight, will be going, meat market or no. Been there just once before, it was a slow night and it wasn't a bad place to be just because the back courtyard thing is enormous so you could basically avoid everybody. I'm sure if I was trying to see a band or dance it woulda been a different scene.

doc casino, is your friend M1k3 w3xl3r?

ian, Wednesday, 13 August 2014 19:25 (eleven years ago)

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 22:26 (eleven years ago)

da croupier, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 22:46 (eleven years ago)

(for people who didn't recognize shit music the first time?)

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 22:49 (eleven years ago)

Heard some Phil Collins the other night, and then earlier I was checking out the Facebook page of a place I'm going tonight, and saw then posing with the Invisible Touch LP

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 23:03 (eleven years ago)

Last then = them, sorry

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 23:03 (eleven years ago)

dunno about downtown brooklyn specifically but i knew plenty of 20-30-somethings when i lived in nyc that were going through a phil/genesis phase

da croupier, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 23:05 (eleven years ago)

caek, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 12:26 (eleven years ago)

lag∞n, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 13:26 (eleven years ago)

lag∞n, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 14:36 (eleven years ago)

It's weird when you see mid-80s Phil walking around, it's like you're just seeing the memory of his face

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 17 September 2014 14:37 (eleven years ago)

Melville house recently put out a previously untranslated Alejo Carpentier book Reasons of State, about a horrible dictator who's sad because (among other things) no one wants to hang out with him anymore. I thought it was a worthwhile read but this article is about as good.

Had a fantastic meal at Iris Cafe Store #9 in Bk Heights tonight. Apparently they've had it converted to a full restaurant for about a year.
