Chinatown Fair, the video game arcade on Mott St. which boasted the semi-famous “Tic-Tac-Toe Chicken”–by the way, you don’t wanna know how they made it “play” the game–is now closed. This website has posted a nice appreciation, recommended for all fans of old New [...]

This morning, Boingboing.com alerted me to an interesting development: a tongue-in-cheek parody of a children’s book called Go the Fuck To Sleep has reached #1 on Amazon.com, before it’s even been published.

Thanks for everything, my beautiful friend—there’ll always be a spot in the crook of my arm for you. When we meet again, I’ll be sure to bring something with lots of butter in it.

This morning I had a great idea: “Wouldn’t it be great if everybody who loved John Lennon and The Beatles did something nice in his name on December 8th? Something that he might’ve done, if he were still here with us…like donating to the ACLU; eating organic (or even macrobiotic) for a day; spending some [...]
