upstate manhattan?
Is the Southern the old Gravity Lounge?
and also where is upstate Manhattan?
Walk North from downstate. You can’t miss it. It has a blue door and a big neon sign.
Did Manhattan become a state while I was napping?
The Clark 5K takes off from Clark elementary school at 8am — register from 7am on at 1000 Belmont Avenue (Clark Elementary School). An superb day for a three mile walk (or run) through Belmont! Benefits the Clark Scholarship & Classroom Grant initiative through CACF! Don’t want to walk or run? Stop by for a $15 t-shirt and help the cause.
The (All New) Acorn Sisters were fucking as-tounding.
Has anyone considered having proper acoustic whatsits installed in Starr Hill? Sound was muddy.
{“The Is Venue” is a moronic and irritating name, unless I’m mistaken.}
were their groupies a bunch of squirrels?
i feel for the band Books. There is no “the” their name, but all the ads and plugs all over town for their show have stated otherwise. i can relate.
This is very upsetting… especially since they have chosen such a novel name. I suggest a Sharpie, a light-weight, yet sturdy kitchen step and several hours of your life that you are never going to get back. Go out there and correct this vile injustice Nate. You go boy.
but they had video projection screens and t shirts that said “the” on them.
/self identity issues?
perhaps they have merged with “the, the” and have formed a super group.
I believe that they also have Elvis Costello writing for “the book”, everyday in fact.
