High Steppers Weekend Stroll
Happy Weekend, Boys and Girls, we MADE IT! It’s another unseasonably warm one, with a forecast calling for PANDEMONIUM. TOO MANY choices this weekend, let’s waste no time: Friday January 27th It’s HULLABALOO!, the party that puts the “damn” in “Hot Damn”! Tonight’s happening celebrates Brooklyn’s fuzzed out, surfed out, punked out garage punks The [...]
A Helping Hand For The Good Guy
As most of you have probably already heard, our town’s own DJ extraordinaire and nightlife mainstay Jonathan Toubin was the victim of an absolute freak accident, having been seriously injured when an out of control taxi cab plowed through the wall of the hotel he was staying in in Portland OR where he was on [...]
Ghouls to the Left of Me, Rippers to the Right
What’s up, Jekyll! That ghastly pallor of yours could probably be attributed to your vices and/or your lack of sleep this past week, or it could be that it’s that magical time of the year we like to call HALLOWEEN! When it falls on a weekend (or this year, JUST outside of one) you’d best [...]
FALL IN
A crisp chill in the air…a leather jacket zipped just to the chin…the strappy sandal replaced with the leather boot…the switch from mojitos to bourbon…can you feel it? FALL is IN, you mothers! And as predictable as magical ponies leaping to their deaths from a rocky New England cliff on the blood harvest moon, rock [...]
Memoirs from the Panic Room
Why HELLO! And welcome to the weekend! Anything disastrous going on? Anything? Of course not, you spineless troglodytes! Allow me to present you with the choice happenings for the rockers, rollers and strollers with nary an earthquake nor hurricane quip or pun. Seriously, enough with the Armageddon talk, already. Wake me when the real [...]
Let Them Eat Rock
Bonjour, Mes Amis! It’s the middle of another week in Hades and the good times are calling your name, yet again. Answer the call. Answer! PICK UP YOUR PHONE, damn it! It’s just about Bastille Day and I can’t believe there are no French themed parties going on tonight or tomorrow: no Les Sans Culottes [...]
June Bug Jitters
What’s happening, people! Happy first day of June! We made it! Let us celebrate the warmth. Let us celebrate the 44th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper and the 42nd of the Lennon/Ono Bed In! But let us NOT get swept up into the sky, as there seem to be tornadoes a-brewin’ in the New York City area as I write this…I’ll get you, Carrie, and your little pocketbook dog too, cried the wind…
Karma Carnal Carnival
You don’t normally get the full on experience of it here in the northeast, but almost everywhere else in the world is barreling through a week long rager that ends on (fat) Tuesday…it’s CARNIVAL time! From Rio to Tobago, from Milan to Barcelona to my sweet Crescent City, it’s basically New Years Eve and Halloween rolled up into an 8-ball and mainlined into the fun gland of your cortex! People are getting dressed up like lunatics, drinking during daylight hours, and promenading down their respective boulevards like peacocks in love. Oh, something about Jesus is in there too, I understand… but didn’t de LAWD drink de WINE? Of course he did, you silly heathen.
New Kind of Kick
Did you hear? It’s a new year, AND a new decade! YEAH! It’s time for new optimism, a new way to see the world, new socks and a side of FEAR topped with savory mushroom gravy! We’ve got one year left to live before the Mayan Wipeout, so you might as well steal all the DVD’s from Best Buy that you can carry while having unprotected relations with your relations (duh, the hot ones! Don’t be nasty!). Watch out for dying birds, shiftless fishes and break every bullshit New Years resolution you came up with by…living your sinful little lives!
