NYCistas: last chance to see my nephew play in your fair city, since he's returning to the left coast to get an MA in music composition.
He'll be playing this Monday night, June 30th with the singer Vanessa Trouble and her band. It's Vanessa's Birthday and his last night in NY, so come out and celebrate with them! They're playing at the Bubble Lounge, located at 228 W. Broadway in Tribeca, from 8pm-midnite. There is no cover.
Featuring:
Vanessa Trouble, vocals
Erik Jekabson, trumpet
Keith Ganz, guitar
Doug Largent, bass
Vito Lescek, drums

If you want, say hi [to Erik] and introduce yourself as a Buffista. He had hoped to meet some of the NYC Buffistas while he was in NYC.

There's been an interesting discussion going on since yesterday in Bureaucracy, inspired by this article.
The talk starts here.
No one is proposing that we change anything about this place!
It's more an academic discussion than anything.

A gaggle of Buffistas are going together to see JZ's play on the last night, July 12th. We're planning to dine together somewhere beforehand. Please join us! Either e me or move to F2F to work out details.
