  • Playtime in the Witching Hour

    It’s dark. It’s cold. But tricycles and polkadots can warm the
    cockles of your heart on a LES streetcorner.

  • Soup Kitchen

  • Your Heart Was a Legend.

    I remember you well

    …at four a.m., you can bring along a midget, a bear and four ladies, drag them to your room and no one cares about it at all.

    -Leonard Cohen

    Spent last week producing for some British friends at the Chelsea Hotel. And dear readers, you owe it to yourself to spend a night there.

    Or at least pop your head in next time on 23rd street. Ride the elevator up, take the stairs down and see the art gallery that ranges from masterpieces to art brut. Smell the odd mix of chlorine and sensimilla. Pause on all the brilliance that has flourished between those walls, and if you stay a while, maybe make some odd new friends.
