would a noise dude go to a lefty-mag party at the Williamsburg gay bar?

JUST A BRO ASKIN' ANOTHER BRO OUT.

Seriously, "Straight to Hell" is an amazing institution. Go and seek out the book-length anthologies (entitled MEAT, SEX, and CUM) and read for yourself. Boyd McDonald (the old editor who passed away in the late 90s) was a genius. It's all first person anecdotes of sexual experiences sent in by readers over the years, and it's a totally great rondelay of Vietnam war era military hookups, hillbilly incest stories, bizarre truckstop encounters, odd rants about straight people, etc.

granted, the friend might have changed a lot and become someone the woman was threatened by, but it just sounded like complete horsepoop to me. hes still that person, why should a change in his gender and orientation matter so very much. it just sounded of pure hypocracy.

random thought... ill go back to typing names in a line now

Yeah, but I didn't say which one!

Don't dance (hardly) ever.

Isn't Dan Selzer DJing somewhere, earlier? I might have sumpin to do 6pm-4am, then.

(the current "Straight to Hell" looked kinda lame)

DOES A NOISE BRA MOVE TO WILLIAMSBERG??

ANS: YES, I THINK SO!

I am actually super sad about leaving my mid-Brooklyn homies and the library and the park and Chavella's and everything but circumstances compel. Maybe I'll be back next year when I am rich!

!!

I know! Assuming the details get wrung out, I'm moving in w/ our cheeky young friend, to his old room, actually.

ohh cool! i still haven't been over there.

laurel is a sellout

I see more ppl from Wburg than ProspHiters, anyway!

i guess we got bell_labs in trade, and laurel ended up as the player to be named later.

I'm still bikeable, guys. Sanskirt, I never see you anyway, you goon.

WHERE'S THE LOVE?

In Park Slope, apparently, since you never leave it.

i declined contributing to that impersonate yourself thread but i considered putting "the gabbneb of BK, with slightly better taste"

who is "our cheeky young friend"??

@@r0n

laurel HOW COULD YOU?!

i mean, congratulations. chavella's is nice but there are good tacos up there too.

Tacos made by white people "less skanky," say Williamsburg indierockers

so did your "landlord" flee to Europe? congrats on finding new place

everybody posting here has to go to Metropolitan w/ me next time.

I didn't want to, lindray, but roommate is kicking me out for his preggers gf, and I'm in a time and $$ pinch. Better the devil you know, I figured....

you should move into a wimmin's shelter, just to make G----- feel bad.

God?

everytime laurel moves into a women's shelter, it makes the baby jesus cry.

It'd make Laurel cry, too.

so there's this venue / dance club called Europa in Greenpoint

does anyone go there to see bands? ever?

i have

I saw something there once w/ hstencil (rip) -- maybe some Matador band? -- and there was a big Polish dance crowd waiting to get in after.

sound system / vibe okay? I am just lost when it comes to mid-size Williamsburg/Greenpoint venues these days. it does seem this place's focus is mainly as a eurodance palace.

they have metal and punk shows there all the time bruh

Show's I've seen at the Europz: Non, Fear, Eyehategd, Trash Talk, Future of the Left,

the sound is fine I think, the vibe is completely ridiculous (it's done up like a fake castle, eurodance palace is correct) but with the right band it's not a big deal. the bands draw their own crowd separate from the dance thing.

first time I met Pete was at a Blues Control and Clockcleaner show there

gay bar name ideas

the cockcleaner

I saw the Lucksmiths there and one or two other shows. Was fine iirc.

Things tend to end early though and they clear it out after so they can turn it into a paying disco.

oh yeah otm. I think the clockcleaner show was like 6-10pm with three bands.

thanks guys! I'd just never heard of it, and the website made it look 99% dance palace 1% venue. I am admittedly still a little lost when it comes to Williamsburg shows (now, optimistically, shows in the 'Williamsburg / Greenpoint epicenter')
