  • Fisherman Says Goodbye to Tiki Mondays

    Mon, January 7, 2008 - 9:09 AM
    Final Tiki Party Monday, Jan 7th at Otto's Shrunken Head!!!
    Happy New Years everybody - They say it's a time for new beginnings, which sometimes means endings (right?). Well, as many of you know, the Fisherman has been playing Vibraphone at Otto's on Mondays for over 5 years - that's half a decade! It's time to move on, but please come on down for one more party!! The whole gang will be there, including Pinkie Special in the Hula Hoop, and the Intoxicating Nell behind the bar... It's been a great run, thanks to everyone who's come down, as well as Steve and the whole Otto's crew!!!

    Otto's is at 538 E. 14th St. bet. Aves A & B, NYC

    Monday, Jan. 7 - 10:00 FREE!!!

    Local drug store had Valentine's Day cards already on display.

    And yes, there is a new Alien v. Predator flick. Look better than the first one but is getting mediocre reviews on imdb.

      Yeah, but hasn't the Commissioner of Baseball been a synonym for unprincipled scoundrel or worse from Keenasaw Mountain Landis on down? I mean Dubya was vying for the post before he decided he wanted to destroy something larger than a sports industry. In retrospect I would welcome sacrificing baseball if it had save us from the past eight years.

    people camped out waiting for niketown to open in tents in the rain.

    of course it will be worse when they're camped out there and there is no niketown.

      >>1/24 people camped out waiting for niketown to open in tents in the rain.

      1/21 people camped out at their broker to sell all their stocks after the big tumble

      2/24 people camped out at their broker to buy them back.

    naturefruendes closed for 'renovations.'

    and my friend irving broke his ankle in two places (the parking lot and the sidewalk) when tackled unjustly by a supermarket security guard.
