Well, I was going to write to say it's funny traveling in to mean old Manhatto to see guys who live and play on the block or in the neighborhood (
Michael Hearst and
LEMUR at
Joe's Pub), but then I read down to the bottom of the latest LEMUR email, and... gasp!
Due to economic considerations, we've been forced to close our space at 461 Third Avenue. It has become too expensive to maintain a space in the current economy.
Ah, well, it's not all doom and gloom, and they explain, but
sheesh!
Kids, get out there and support your local musical robots and robot builder / composers. They need us, and we need them.
And let me describe this block on third Ave for those of you who don't know it. On the East side there's Bar Tano (makes my elbow sore just thinking about it),
the League of Urban Musical Robots, and a storefront mosque. Across the street there's a newish real estate office, a Yemeni American friendship society, and a Mexican flat fix shop. I (blissfully without proof) blame the RE office for any rent increases on that block.
