Cold Light of a Cold Winter Monday
Eden and John's East River String Band at TenEleven Bar on avenue C Saturday Night ...
No leg breaking with this performance , just a very musical performance with diverse content.
The Stza Breaks a Leg at TenEleven Bar Saturday Night
After the big art party at Csqwat Saturday night the party crowd headed to TenEleven Bar on avenue C for some drinks and fun .

The drinks poured and the tops popped , the music with Morgan O'kane , Eden and John's East River String band and the Stza began .
The Stza , of Leftover Crack and Star Fucking Hipsters , swilled some "iced tea" from a clear plastic 1 liter bottle and strummed a chord or two to begin a 2 hour or so signature performance .
It wasn't enough though to just sing on stage in the lights about dead cops before an approving audience . The Stza (a.k.a. Sturgeon) headed to the seating area , climbed a table , stood on its top side , played and sang . While continuing to perform the Stza took a step to the next table . That table's single leg's base broke , the table went down with the Stza , chairs tumbled , folks shrieked and scattered and drinks and beers , mostly cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon , flew in all directions .
Doesn't seem that any one , including the Stza , was hurt . He just walked back to the stage , as folks cleaned up the mess , continuing to strum a couple of chords singing .The Stza strummed some chords and sang for some time , at times accompanied by a jew's harp , on into the night . According to a friend the Stza tried to climb another table later in the evening but was prevented by the management from doing so .
9 Years Young Today . Happy Birthday Jesse Jane !

On 7th Street
At the Corner of 6th Street and Avenue A
Another Sweet Treat Shop in the Old Wolinin Funeral Home Space ...
Once upon a time there were enough folks dying in the neighborhood to support two funeral homes on 7th street .Neighborhoods change though , folks were dying in smaller numbers , so several years ago one of those homes ,Wolinin , closed . Thanks to the fact that there are still enough folks dying in the neighborhood the other funeral home , Jarema, is still in business .
Now on 7th street the Wolinin space that was used to display the dead and sell caskets is used by Butter Lane to display and sell cup cakes and soon Xoom will also use a portion of the Wolinin space to display and sell smoothies and infusionals .

Fire in Basement Apartment at 417 E. 9th Street ...
Around 4 PM Thursday afternoon a fire broke out in an apartment in the rear of the basement at 417 E. 9th street .One male was injured in the fire and was taken to hospital . It was reported that the male had regained consciousness on the way to the hospital .We have no additional information concerning the injured male's condition .
This apartment was one of two apartments in this basement that were located behind the space once occupied by Cafe Gigi . The building was not evacuated and damage was limited to the interior of the basement apartment .On examination later in the evening it could be seen that the fire damage was limited to a small room containing a bed and some furniture .This bed and other furnishings were seen to be significantly charred . There was some question among officials at the scene concerning whether the basement apartment was a legal residence and whether it had adequate means of egress.
