Ok, so not technically P-Heights anymore, but relevant and fun news to those of us who want to keep tabs on Freddy's... they'll be reopening in January on 5th Ave (17th/18th Street)

Oh yes. And backroom events are already being planned!
There is a lot of pent-up demand for backroom events.

Ahhhh.... So happy!

Good to hear. I've got stacks of dioramas that have been accumulating since they've closed.
I know they used to have a thing where people would read old love letters or notes from grade school. They should have a night where people bring in their high school year books and read what people wrote in them. That would be boss.

I predict we will have an "all board, all bored" event there within one month of it opening.

That was Sarah Brown's Cringe, which was one of the original "reading embarrassing things from the past" event series. It was born at Freddy's, but moved to the UK, apparently... Looking at her site, it seems that she got married to a Brit.

That is one white crowd. Particularly the couple with their "gang poses" in the bottom left.

enjoyed the d o'finn interview, particularly his take on
O'Connor's diaspora and that Lee was probably not gonna walk into new freddy's.
Howdy, Stranger!
