Some Saturday Night Scenes From Avenue A...
A phone-booth used as a billboard anounces among other things the reading of some poems by the "Mighty Swami " , a.k.a. John Lesko , on avenue A this very evening...
...and "New York Times"writer Colin Moynihan and photographer Jessica Dimmock interview and photograph Swami as he reads his poetry out front of Ray's .
...and a few minutes later a ticket for Swami for an open container of beer ...
...but to hell with the cops and to hell with tickets , Swami picks up the beer that he had secreted , while the cops were writing an open-container ticket and checking for warrants , out of the way in the gutter near a car's wheel , and gulps it down at the the front of Ray's Candystore ....
Tandem-riding neighbors Zoe and Ilya ,cruise the scene ...
...camera to camera and prankster jack has some fun ...
Rock-n-Roll had tap-danced earlier in the evening for a fist-full of dollars.
...something softly spoken that entertains ...
Avenue A being what it is on any Saturday night , someone has to clean-up the mess
...and finally an under-exposed and grainy end-of-the-evening scene
