I grew up going to shows at ABC NO RIO. It was a co-op that had a zine library, dark room, print shop, backyard (important for the kids) and a room for holding shows. I hung out every Saturday for the matinés and saw hardcore, punk, and noise from around the world. It was the first scene I was a part of. The building was condemned years ago but it’s organizers continue to operate in exile and they deserve your support. The city promised them a new building but who knows… Apparently the New York Times does.

Every master I have ever met, martial artist, musician, marble mason, has remained a student. If you listen it’s easy tell who will have your back and who will not. My aunts says, when people tell you who they are, believe them! It will help you hear red flags and the fire alarm. People who do not know how to listen are confused. They will live alone and die alone. You do not need to take anyone’s advice about anything but it pays to know who is smart and who is not. Listen to yourself.

 One of few remaining real ass spots in Manhattan’s Chinatown. Chinatown residents have for years given portions of their wages to gamblers who take busses to Atlantic City for the weekend in hopes to doubling their money. In the early hours of monday morning, gamblers that lose it all often end up at the Mee Sum Cafe. They will have their head in their hands next to a pot of chrysanthemum tea. Order a pot of the chrysanthemum tea. Be polite and speak with manners.
