by mordicai c. on I have had a lot of good memories as I've chased the Knitting Factory all over Gotham. Like the Knitting Factory is the Joker & I'm Batman. Or like I'm the Joker & the Knitting Factory is Robin. Whichever. I went to see The Protomen here the other night, & the show was great. Even the dudes in the audience that I thought might be trouble ended up just being super rambunctious. Now, a lot of this has to do with the band, but having seen the Protomen at other venues, it was...interesting. For instance-- last time I saw the same band, it was at Santo's Party House, & that show was a lot more mixed in gender; this was predominantly male. I don't know if that has to do with the joint being out of Manhattan, or the show being later, or the location being in Williamsburg. Just something I noticed.
by Christoper Nydick on I can't believe I haven't reviewed this bar yet! As it is with many other folks, The Local been my pre-MJQ watering hole for quite some time, now. Smoker-friendly (stop your whining-- go to Decatur if it bothers you!), amazing food (try the tots! and the boiled peanuts! and the cheeseburger! and they just updated their menu! exclamation point!), affordable drinks... What more could one desire, I ask? I've noticed the servers tend to disappear when you need a drink refill, but somehow they always pop around in time to empty a full ashtray, so I can't complain much. The Local is somewhat of a hipster haven, but fortunately hipsters have a low tolerance for cold weather (hard to ride a fixed gear bike on icy roads I suppose), so they are mostly absent during the winter months.
by Jerold Vea on So a promoter my friend knew claimed to be able to get us in for free. Turns out that's only the case if you stay within an empty enclosed space, away from the main dance floor and DJ. Lame! So we paid the $15 or so in order to gain full access to the club. While the club was huge with 3 separate areas + a huge patio upstairs with its own bar...that means nothing if the place isn't popping and filled with people. Unfortunately for us, we came on a night where there was a massive rave in LA and that's where everyone supposedly was. Uhh, really? You mean there aren't enough non-ravers in LA that can fill up this place? Yikes. Minus one star for the old married creeps who were high and offered to sell us drugs. Eww!
