John Baldessari retro @ the MET is stunning! Endless rooms of crazed “dot faces” classic film photo collages on massive walls.

By the time I want to bed last night I was demanding the piano player play “Liebestraum” a forth straight time in a row.

Happy Birthday Herbert! See you at Odeon…

R.I.P. Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson. The mission is finally terminated.

I’d love to process all the real and fake @Vincent_Gallo s into a refreshing Fleischsalat. Served with pickled cantaloupe!

Never bring a “thank you” cactus to a 3-way.

Look at this RV!

I’ll (we’ll) be hitting the stage at Ten Eleven Bar around 7 tonite. Expect a casual, rowdydow show! (171 Ave C btwn 10&11)

Hospital Records (60 E 3rd st) is the last interesting new black metal/noise record shop in NYC. You’ll leave upset.

Maybe I’ll go to my ex-gays support group meeting at The Village Church instead. THEY’RE not closed on Sundays.

Damn. Still, the modern NYC GLBT Center is lovely. I haven’t set foot in this place since ‘95.

The NYC GLBT Center reference library is CLOSED on Sundays? Where do they think everyone is, church? Should have called ahead.

I’m only one up @ house of @Greg_Walloch & @Tvonthefritz. Coffee made. Should I Twitter feed the contents of their bookshelf?

I tried my first electronic cigarette! Well, everyone was doing it, and it looked so cool. I’m not addicted, I’m in control.

Local Project show in LIC was great! Got to test some new material…nice!

A report on the November 16th debut of “Pitch!”
