The chief would tell him, 'We certainly do. You get your butt back here safely.'
For the first time in 19 years we'll be able to perform on our own stage instead of some place else.
There's been a lot of development in the neighborhood, a lot of gentrification, a lot of artists have been forced out, a lot of venues have been closed down, and we really wanted to assert the fact that we're still here and there's still amazing stuff going on down here. The festival is simultaneously looking back at this great cultural legacy, but looking forward because we want to create opportunities for the next generation of visionaries to flourish right here.
Howl has certainly proved that the East Village sense of community has survived intact,
It was literally a situation where you felt the most unbridled glory and the most excruciating emotional agony. What's the line -- laugh all your laughter, cry all your tears? And revel in the glory of it all,

I found the writing arena to be much less competitive.
It's fun coming in as the second or third lead. If the movie or TV show bombs, you aren't to blame.
Wonderful Canadian family who gave me free Canadian Scotch daily,
