Late Wednesday night I walked just a few blocks down Ave C to Nu Blu cafe to see Matt play in bass in an awesomely wild jazz-oddesy sickness of a band.
Danny lives down the street from me in the East Village. I met him back in October of 2004 when I was living out in San Francisco and a buddy told me I should go see his band. I arrived at the studio and found Danny busy...
After BBQ, a bunch of different people played music. And then after a few songs, the musicians invited kids and anyone else who wanted to play music up to join them. I wish every party had this. It's so weird that we mostly listen to recorded music at parties instead of make it.
Tuesday, June 18th was also the day investigative war-reporter Michael Hastings was killed in a very suspect single-car crash. RIP Michael Hastings. (If you don't know his story, he's definitely worth reading-up on).
