City Bus Stop Anniversary Party Tonight!
posted by on January 4 at 12:25 PM
Tonight, the Bus Stop is having its second-anniversary party.
The Bus Stop, right next door to Bimbo’s on Pine, is my favorite bar on Capitol Hill. I always expect mid-’60s, London pop songstress Lulu to walk in the door because it’s 1965 at the Bus Stop. Although it’s not London, it’s Greenwich Village. And by Greenwich Village, I don’t mean folk rock, although, I wouldn’t be surprised if Roger McGuinn was there talking to some NYU Simon & Garfunkel Kids.
Mostly, though, I mean John Cale’s Dream Syndicate, and leaders from the campus chapter of Students for a Democratic Society, and Stokely Carmichael, and Tuesday Weld, and gay filmmaker Kenneth Anger, and Paris teen Jean-Pierre Léaud with his groovy g.f. Chantal Goya.
All of those people are there when I’m there.
This is what I mean:
Party starts at 9 pm. It’s a bittersweet party, obviously, as the Bus Stop (along with the other hot spots on the block, like the Cha Cha) are being deracinated for condos.
didn't you hear that the trystero development firm is behind all this? a lot has happened with them in the last few decades. they're a congolomerate now, and while their core business model is still heavily dependent upon their postal division, their foray into development has been widely heralded. so i hear.
No offense to Mark or anyone, but I don't think all of those people can fit inside The Bus Stop's tiny space.
I'll be there... for the third time this week :p
ah, kenneth anger
They can all fit -- with room for Nina Simone, Candy Staton, and Rosetta Hightower to give it some soul.
I hope to see EVERYBODY tonight.
Give them my love, Josh - the only thing that got me through my last year in town. Oh, and the new Pynchon is great, Michiko Kakutani didn't even read it, I bet.
bring the war home!
