Do you know something I don't?

Maybe he used the Death Clock.

I think starting this year I'll become your younger sister. I always feel as if this day is the start of "birthday week" that always includes the Kentucky Derby and cake on the weekend and should include a hike up Blue Hill in Canton, MA. Hope however you're celebrating is fun. Love, love, love.

- Skinny 5-04-2002 6:16 pm


Yeah. Thanks everyone.

How'd that disco dancing work out?
- jim 5-04-2002 7:48 pm


The dance club was really good. Just the sight, being in the east village, seeing people dance. In a sense dancing is an activity thats been outlawed downtown. We all danced. I can hardly to do it again. I can hardly wait for 33 1/3! The celebration last night was so fun. El Teddys really worked out. For a while in seemed like the service was in slow motion but in the end it enabled us to socialize to the fullest.

Seems like Big Jimmy & I are the only serious dancers. Still looking for the perfect venue, but it was a great night. My only complaint is that after getting home at 4:00 AM I couldn't make it out for the morning. And it's such a beautiful day. I shoulda just brought the binocular to the party and cruised straight through, but as those of us who are getting a little older can tell you, you've got to start taking care of yourself...
- alex 5-04-2002 9:08 pm


Oh come on now, I don’t think I saw Bill dance. And you not much. Of course, sometimes I do close my eyes when I dance...
Needed some slinkier psychedelic techno maybe, and all our friends dancing under the moon. We’ll have to keep working on it.

I was discussing the Montana trip w/ Nicholas earlier today and he was inquiring about the sound system up at the Smith river cabin, who knows, maybe we will be dancing under the moon,in the middle of a meadow...
I didn't see Bill dancing either but I think he was at one point. When we first got there I wanted to spend some time taking the whole scene in. I was really struck by the fact that dancing has been an outlawed activity. Why is it against the law in most establishments? This is New York city in the year 2002 and the dance scene is basically an underground operation, unless one wants to go to a big comercial type venue.

Tom are you coming to Montana?
- sarah 5-04-2002 11:07 pm


It's not illegal, it's just that you have to pay. Technically a venue needs a cabaret license to let people dance. Just like they need a liquor license to serve alcohol. Gulliani actually enforced this. I always figured it was just a way to clamp down on gay culture. The requirements for a cabaret license still stand, as far as I know, but Bloomberg dismantled the group that actually went around checking for violations. It was one of the first things he did.
- jim 5-04-2002 11:34 pm


I know about the whole cabaret license. It's more complicated than just buying a license, there are other complicated restrictions. One that I heard about a few years ago had something to do with what side of the street a business was on---- zoning. Originally Sunshine theater was going to be a dance club/music venue, a community board got wind of that idea....
next thing you know its a movie theater.

Re the Montana trip. Thanks, but I think I'm gonna save money so I can do Europe again soon. Re cabaret licenses. That's good news about Bloomberg. The year I was dj-ing I was constantly torn between the rump-shaking imperative and fear of getting the place busted. Ridiculous.
- tom moody 5-04-2002 11:59 pm


Talk around the table last night had me convinced that you were in. It's less than 24 hr.s later and now you're saying "no, I'm going to Europe" Here we have a classic case of he said you said. I wish you could come, maybe summer of 2003?
What day is the studio visit with Frank scheduled? If Frank, Chris and Ren are getting here Thursday Jim and I were talking about having a small gathering/dinner at my apt. that evening.
- sarah 5-05-2002 12:52 am


They get here Tuesday as far as I remember (and then leave on Sunday.) I think a small gathering Tuesday night would be nice. I'll contribute a dish.
- jim 5-05-2002 1:49 am


Tuesday, as in three days from today?
- sarah 5-05-2002 2:11 am


Sarah, next time we get together you'll have to tell me more about your Montana trip(s). I've never been there, but I loved Southern Idaho/Northern Nevada when I went there years ago. (That's probably like telling a Texan how much you liked Arkansas.)
- tom moody 5-05-2002 2:40 am


That’s what the man said. Better get the hostel ready.
- alex 5-05-2002 3:50 am


My belated congratulations on your birthday. I hope the entire year will be a great celebration.
