On Sunday we headed back to Thompkins Square Park to enjoy the sunshine. (From L to R: Matt Lavin aka "Buddy" from Sid & Buddy fame, Vin, me and the Tins).

Man, wouldn't you have thought I would've run out of things to say about pictures of my friends singing at Sid & Buddy's karaoke by now? Um, I think I have which is why I'm writing this instead of saying something funny. Here's Carol, Marjorie and Buddy.
After we finished making up stupid babynames, we headed into Soho to try to catch the Monday night edition of Sid and Buddy karaoke, only to arrive and find Sid and Buddy (aka - Matt & Matt) packing up all of their karaoke stuff and leaving Nolita Tavern in the middle of their set after having a fall out with the management there. We retreated to Dan and Corrie's nearby apartment to reflect on the tragic, sudden end of Sid and Buddy's year long reign at Nolita Tavern (on a side note, I'm writing this in July of 2004 and Nolita Tavern is completely gone. The bar wasn't doing well so Howard, the owner, ended up selling it to John Lombardi, and Lombardi's pizza expanded their restaurant into what used to be Nolita Tavern. So if you ever eat at the famous Lombardi's on Spring Street, and you hear the haunting strains of Laura Brannigan's "Gloria" echoing through the halls, now you'll know why...)
