60's mentalities

The Filmore East.

Ratner's Dairy Restaurant, which had some of the absolute best cheese cake. Sitting there at 2 a.m. as some of Andy Warhol's actors and actresses came in.

The Hungarian Restaurant (I forget its name) on Second Ave., around 9th or 10th Streets.

5 Beekman Street, 10th floor - home at the time of numerous anti-war groups and magazines, the equivalent of the present day 339 Lafayette....

Sigh...I'm gettin' old!

Don't know about Jagger, but I used to see vintage New York porn vixens Kandi Barbour and Vanessa Del Rio entering and leaving that place all the time.

The original Melody Theater back when Bob Anthony was running the show.

As a barely legal young man, I got my first taste of "lobster thermidor" there for the bargain price of a single George Washington, courtesy of a shapely Italian "house girl" named Angela.

The old Times Square area, around 1982 (back when I was too scared and green to even think about going into a porno house).

The original Kiev.
Downtown Beirut
The "Pretty Decorating" script on the big wall at Avenue A and 2nd St. (the joke being that the wall needed a makeover, which it got, whiich finished the joke).

Tompkins Square Park before the clampdown ...

Harmony Burlesque! (Used to go to La Monte Young's studio for a hour of machine-generated wave cycle hypno-trance carpet-rolling sonic zap-out; hit the Knit for a few beers and some free-jazz squalling, then over to Harmony for the rawest lap dances I've ever experienced this side of Clearwater, Fla. Talk about your entertainment value!)

The original Knitting Factory on Houston

The old Lion's Head Pub.

Tin Pan Alley.

You lucky little girl.
I once went nuts trying to see if I could get a session with seka.
She was at an Electronics trade show in Vegas...long time ago....I was asking around....I couldnt afford even to get a kiss.....she was my favorite ever.......and vanessa...same era......another wet dream of mine.....you travelled in some circles...very interesting.

how old did you say you were?....seka....peeked around what....1972-1976?.maybe she was still around until 82 or so...i really cant remember....old age.........Are you as old as me HVB?(you probably look 15 or 20 years younger)

NOBODY is as old as you.

i was a baby. unfortunately, for me, i grew up too fast. it's true very few people can tell my age. (i think it's emotional retardation, keeps one young.) btw, seka was no. 1's favorite too, i was partial to a redheaded penthouse pet of the year with a slice of pussy and titian pubic hair like you've never seen.

bored housewife (you wouldn't be interested),
but still does that downtown thang with the best of 'em,

HVB ...

or should I call you Kim Darby?

My last girlfriend was a redhead (unnaturally ... but she had the personality. ) And a lusty funlover. Too many drinks and she was a handful. There is something about that hue.

Chroma (alone),
