Fort Seriously RIP! Part II
Come party with Lee and Taryn as they say goodbye to their home of many years - 97 Montrose Ave., AKA Fort Seriously. This place has been a recording studio, performance space, practice space, drawing studio, theater, broadcast studio, party house and much more while we lived here. It deserves to go out with a bang.This Saturday, January 28th we're having one last burlesque show, Last Call at the Starliner Lounge starting at 9:30pm for $10. At 11:35pm, the show is over and the party begins. So come early or late, but come, because there are no more next times.
Bring your own booze and some to share, or buy it cheap from the bar (proceeds go to the Big Apple Burlesque troupe). At dawn help yourself to party favors - all of our wonderful junk that can't fit in our new apartment.
Free Jazz For Free People
There was a little party. There was food cooked. There was music played.Hypercolor

Mike Pride Trio
Drums, Bass Clarinet, Bass. Free Jazz. (more)
Pictures. Not of arrests, of bands silly!
Pictures! Sharks! Legs! Wings! Alphabets! (more)Small Improvised Concert
Paper Legs, Sharks with Wings and The Alphabet from T ro Z played last night. It was a small but large performance. The recordings are online. If you happen to notice a strange buzzing sound, that's because two flys decided it would be a good idea to get busy on top of the warm condenser microphones I have hanging on the ceiling.Damn nature, getting in the way of progress again!

Unpersonable Noise
There would have been twice as many recordings from tonight's show but the police arrested me and kicked everyone out because of, in the words of the summons I received "Discon - Unpersonable Noise". The man who twisted my arm behind my back said his name was "leiutenant". To the 90th precinct's credit, Kevin was my arresting officer and was quite cool. He was shocked we weren't charging admission. He wants to start his own club and charge $10 to get in to compete with my apartment. His club will "have police protection".Thanks to Michael, Paula, Tianna, Dylan and everyone else who held down the fort in my absence. EV + Black Label 4 lyf!

P.S. I'll put up a photo of the summons. It's pretty amusing to see the word Unpersonable Noise written in the offense section. I think that is like, farting or something, right?
The Fort Is In Danger!
So soon, so soon! [snip] silly landlord threats...looking for a cut of non-existant money. [/snip]Upcoming events will continued as planed. But why do some people love evil?

There was evil. It was destroyed! We now sing praise!
Lucas fought the manifestation of evil known as Nonhorse. Harry and the Potters fought the manifestation of evil known as Voldemort. Calvin Johnson fought the manifestation of evil known as bad stories. Kevin Shea's Sexy Thoughts fought the manifestation of evil known as your libido. Fort Seriously is now a safer space for humans and animals alike.Photos:
