…to get this reaction from Bear and Jay. It was too short a time to see them, but since I couldn’t handle going out last night, it was a happy circumstance to escort them to their tour date at the tenement museum.

While heading over to meet them I noticed that the LES is once again dotted with galleries, not always to the best effect. If you’re going to put an exhibition space in a storefront like that, why make it into another dull white repressed box? It just makes it look like you’re eager to import the entire Chealsea ethos instead of staking a claim for something new.
