Re: ARCADIA! Opening Night Gala May 30 at CBGB Gallery
Fingers crossed all - CDs hopefully ready by Thurs/Fri if the live recording went well! Bettie Crow - You can still catch the magic! The exhibit is up until June 20th and there is now video of the show to watch on rotation at the gallery. My camera died during filming, so if anyone has some footage of the last five acts and, as it turns out, my own 2 mins. on stage, this is all I am missing in order to have the whole show documented. And I am hoping to hear from Selena soon for vid.

Re: ARCADIA! Opening Night Gala May 30 at CBGB Gallery
Congratulations to everyone who sent up Arcadia. The living imagery was very steep and celebratory. My only suggestions, (and suggestions for the sake of nudging the production in to even better form than it was, not for the sake of criticism) would be to get the sound for live vocals a bit better on the board. I'm not sure if the problem is with the configuration of the gallery space or the actual board mix, Jade's MC'ing was particularly clear but the stage mics weren't delivering as well...

1) Matt B. took the Chinatown bus and yes, it's a real bus. And yes, it's really $10.00 to Boston. And yes, it lets you out really close to the Ferry. BUT IT WAS 3 HOURS LATE!!!!!!!! He missed the ferry and took another "real" bus to Hyannis where he missed his connection to P-Town and had to take a cab. Not a real money saver after all. He said the bus was great except they are in no hurry what so ever. He would take it again but leave LOTS of time. 2) P-Town is very dog friendly. We took...

A few weeks ago I attended a budding "all things electro endeavor" hosted by a friend in Manhattan, who admitted that night: he could use some help with building a "new" crowd for such a party.

Re: Internet Radio
Internet radio is great. Chi Chi will you post your favorite stations? I did a bit of research about creating a station. It seems the easiest method is to use the SHOUTcast plugin for Winamp which allows you to add files to your playlist and click play to broadcast. You can also broadcast from a mic or mixer plugged into your sound card. (crosses fingers for Verbal Abuse in the afternoon) You will need a server to host your stream. You can host your own server with additional SHOUTcast...

Well, summer is ending, and school is back in session. Thanks to the encroaching sprawl of NYU all over town, we all have witness to the invasion of these spotted cherubic youths, and yes there is even a dorm for them down here in Tribeca, so I see them on the street, in the deli buying beer, and waiting for the NYU bus to take them up to the "campus."

Re: Party Monster - Michael Alig
I still haven't seen it yet, I've been so busy lately. But Nowhereboy I can tell you as someone who DID live in NYC during the Alig years, there was soooooo much more going on around town that had nothing to do with the club kid movement whatsoever, and the general public will not be seeing that portrayed in Party Monster (and, on artistic grounds, I can certainly understand why the producers chose to focus on one specific scene). Those other scenes however are what I tend to remember more.

Thanks for posting the link, Randella. For all its hype about the new clubs opening, somehow this article was not very encouraging.

That's refreshing to hear, and more power to the new entrepreneurs who are trying to make a difference, forge ahead and reinvent the nightclubbing experience.

The thing about organic is that it costs more because the growers aren't able to produce it in the same volume as the big companies that do use pesitcides. But of course they use fertilizers, just not ones that have all kinds of chems in 'em to stimulate growth and so forth. True organic farming is no scam, but apparently there are a lof of producers out there billing their foodstuffs as organic while still using pesticides and chems and whatnot.

Jenny, your description sound familiar. Did I meet you? As to your club experience, Abby recently said to me that a promoter can create a venue, hire performers, establish a mood, but the party goers have to make the party. Even if you met one or two interesting people, and could hang out with them for a half hour or so, the party would be worth going to.
