PULL APART THE DOUBLE HELIX LIKE A WISHBONE

Feb 02, 2009 23:56

I went to this place called "the Market Hotel" on Saturday. It was really fucking amazing...this unheated, punk/dirty-Brooklyn-artist-kids house above Mr. Kiwis Health Food store with it's amazing Chinese man working the counter, who is always smiling no matter what. This is deep in brooklyn, close to my house, close to Goodbye Blue Monday, close to the real scene, on the corner of myrtle and broadway with the J train rushing overhead, so loud you can't hear your own voice as you scream alongside it...

all dirty musician-artist kids living in this warehouse space with every wall tagged and mattresses for sound-proofing. they sold beers for 2 dollars (cans of budwiser so cold that my hands went numb) someone painted the wall black in one room and then hundreds of eyes all over the place.

i had to tag it up:

i wasn't very drunk and i drew this:


i was a little more drunk (and my marker was starting to die):


i made mickey a birthday cake! i don't know why my eyes are closed:


a lot of really good bands played. during some of the sets i hung out in the bathroom with other kids (you could still hear the music), drawing all over the walls until somebody broke out the spray paint. the only working can was gold and we sprayed it until it was empty...
