Unique experience. Never been anywhere else like it.

I can't even remember how I first stumbled up there. Was in college, just wandering. Went up in that cage elevator. Stood a while, then called out to the counter to ask if browsing was allowed. Wound up walking out with an Alvin Curran, a Pauline Anna Strom, a From Scratch from NZ...all new to me.

Love the art, of course. But, oh I also loved NMDS. One of my favorite only-in-New-York places. A true haven.

And a fine, fine newsletter it is.

And here's that MLK song, in case you don't know it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmvg...

Here's "I Miss All My Exes": www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGEr...

Thanks for helping me make Dark North a thing! No one I'd rather start trouble with, partner.

Love and Desperation! JLP at his haunted, banshee-cry best

Some of the most thoughtful readings of my work that I have ever received. I mean it, and I am grateful. Take good care, please.

That goes double for me.
