History Wrestles Commerce in Meatpacking District By DENNY LEE (NYT, 8/11/02) The three-year drive to confer landmark status on the meatpacking district is taking on a new urgency. What began as a low-key investigation of warehouses and blood-soaked Belgian blocks has quickened this summer into a race that pits preservationists against developers.

A bit of explanation... Mark Twain is said to have once wrote: "When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because it's always 20 years behind the times." This still holds true. We were asked to host a night at a local gay club here in Cincinnati about a year after Zazoo was "born." we agreed, but only on our terms... What did this mean? Well... 1. Good music. 2. No crappy Drag Queens badly lipsyching to 3 year-old songs. 3. "Freaks" got in free They reluctantly agreed to...

People really don't know ... and a good story to boot. And you are absolutly correct. I was fishing so to speak. I do that -- I have some odd techniques to get folks, especially artists, talking. We are still pre-launch and although topics are in place, and more are coming. I am mixing it up a bit to see what we can come up with and what people's expectations/needs are.

when I saw you last at Jackie 60, but I was too shy to approach ... my boyfriend, ever the art and underground enthusiast, is a great fan of the art and writings of David Wojnarowicz and has been completely blown away by "Seven Miles a Second". In reading Mr. Wojnarowicz's bio to me, the band name 3 Teens Kill 4, kept sticking out in my head. It occurred to me at Jackie where I knew it from, are you not one of the founding members of that band? Perhaps next time we see you out, or somewhere...

In such a short span David W. did more for breakthrough art and Aids politics than most of us could hope for in a lifetime.

There's not much more astounding then seeing work you may have dreamt of or intended to create and then brought to reality by a fanatic obsessed.
