Losers Lounge Lou Reed Tribute ~ East Side Story ~ a NYPL Oral History Project

Great show last night, The Losers Lounge tribute to Lou Reed at Joe's Pub. Losers, the once and future champ bang for your buck in NYC entertainment. They always leave you smiling. Even Lou smiled last night. And ask Laurie, he hardly ever smiles. Even on his birthday.

Here are more photos.

Starting March 30th, I'm working with the New York Public Library's Neighborhood Oral History Project, "Upper East Side Story." Details on this project in the next few days. If you lived on the East Side between 59th St. & 96th St. for 25 or more years (the longer the better) and you would like me to interview you about your history in the neighborhood, please email me at tommy.pryor@gmail.com. An easy conversation where I listen to you talk about where you came from. Your recollections will become part of the permanent record at NYPL, available for the public to hear.

Losers Lounge Hit Me With A Flower ~ They're So Viscious

Losers Lounge kicks ass. If you are in NYC and looking for the best live music show,  it happens four times a year at Joe's Pub.  I attended the Lou Reed Velvet Underground tribute on Thursday and Friday. Took many photos. Here are some of them and if you like, go to Thurs pix or this link for Fri pix to see full albums of each show.

More photos here tomorrow.

This Tuesday, "City Stories: Stoops to Nuts," at Cornelia Street Cafe.  February 11th @ 6pm come listen to Sherryl Marshall, Agatha Nowicki andRegina Ress. Agatha and Regina are telling, and Sherryl is singing her stories in a special showcase set. 

Admission is $8 and that includes a free drink. I promise a good time or I'll eat my straw hat.

Time Out Magazine says, "Stoops to Nuts," is a smashing experience not to be missed. No they didn't, but they do say it's a cool thing to do.
