Hot Dog aka Marlene Back in the Day With Shayne

I found this picture on the C-Squat Myspace page. It is Shayne with Hot Dog up on Avenue A in the early ninties. I just wanted to show some comparison of Marlene then and now. If you want go see the now on Neither More Nor Less check this link Marlene Returns to the Street ...

Jimmy and Shayne Play Crash Down




Just watching Jimmy and Shayne playing video games on a non 70's console but a laptop freaks me out. Shayne a collector of 8-Tracks and all kind of out of date shit and Jimmy a collector of I could not even venture a guess but if I would it is a little bit of everything. Watching them play video games just gives me a weird feeling like something has gone wrong with the world. Over here a C-Squat you get used to the ordinary but this to me is Extraordinary. Ordinary to me here might be the extraordinary to most. To give some back round on Jimmy he used to live at 5th Street Squat back in the day he owned lots of dogs and lots of stuff. He pretty much occupied the top two floors and filled them with "jimmy" stuff. For me to explain what he owned would take days. He also build geodesic domes on the roof. He had cameras and microphones on the outside to hear and see if people were trying to get in. He is awesome. He likes King Cobra and even more his Steel Reserve 211 beer. He built towers 20 cans high in the backyard glued together with crazy glue.

I Like These Little Guys




Have you seen one of these little guys that look like it is made out of macaroni or straw, but when you get up close it looks like wood. This one in the pictures above is on the fence going around La Plaza. Hidden on one of the wood posts on 9th street. Also a Mars Bar bartender said there is another one that just appeared there by the front door and the window that always gets punched out. Me and the bartender at Mars think they are awesome little innocuous guys and were just wondering where they came from.

Rained Out Show in Tompkins Square Park Ends Up in C-Squat













NYC's 2nd annual Bike Noise(Bike Noise II) was supposed to be held in Tompkins Square yesterday May 3rd but was rained out. Moved from the park to C-Squat featuring bands like Public Serpents, Wombat in Combat, Mischief "O" Brew, Ja Moustache Eddies, Social Standards and Team Spider. The bands played from about 6 to 9pm and the party raged out for hours longer. Moving its way up into a couple upstairs apartments and still going on in the basement with some street kids aka crusties also looking for a place to sneak under to crash for the night. Hiding under the stage of all places and using their dogs as pillow. Up in Bill Cashman's room the beer drinking ended up leading to a impromptu game of spin the bottle. Everyone acting like junior high school and elementary school kids maybe remembering back to those sweet days of old. As you can see Mr. Bill Cashman was pretty busy getting a little from everyone. Thanks to Public Serpents I got some pictures of them playing.

Techno Show in Tompkins Square Park Turns Into Punk Rock And Roll






First show in Tompkins Square happened today May 2nd from 3 to 6PM. The day after Mayday and a day before the actual Mayday Show which is on May 3rd. Bands like D60, Pig Shit Engine and a band from Pennsylvania called Ray Grady. It was supposed to be a techno show but the DJ didn't show up or some thing. No riot or anything interesting really happen but all in all it was a good show. Of course the police were there with their decible meters making sure it wasn't to loud. And making some crusty kids leave the park for open containers of King Cobra. Jewels was nowhere to be seen but I heard later from Slum Goddess that him and his wife Amy had left town. G was dancing around having fun looking beat up as usual. No big drama just an otherwise fun show.

Leap Frog Lady Returns to Avenue C






Here is a little more leap frog lady for you. I went out saw her again walked around the block twice with the dog. She was still inbetween 8th and 9th street on Avenue C. Then I went and had a coffee at 9th Street Espresso and she was still moving her many milk crates, bags and shopping carts full of stuff between those two blocks. I got some pictures when and had a cigarette and talked to some crustie kids and then went back and she still wasn't done yet. So I went over to talk to her to she how she does it and maybe get some infomation but she didn't like me or that. She gave a low grunt or maybe a growl and went on her way. Then I said goodbye to the leap frog lady. Maybe I will see her again. This time she look like she had even more. Next time who knows her stuff train might be 2, 3 or even 4 blocks long.
