COME OUT TO PLAY!

Fans of the classic gang fighting (with roller skates and disco music) classic, The Warriors, may recognise the above title as the taunt used by the leader from the Rogues in Walter Hill's classic which culminates on a beach in Coney Island. Being one of my favourite films I gladly took up Nigel's offer to visit this delapidated beach front. As all the carnival stuff was closed, there was a pretty sad air about the place, a feeling that the best times had passed. I've never been, but it made me think of Blackpool, another working class holiday resort in the pits. Miserable and amusing at the same time. We walked the beach front and took pictures of the "shoot at the moving freak" stalls, we even went to that hot dog place where they hold the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot-Dog Eating Contest. But anyway that's enough about Coney, I recommend it.
The gig at the Knitting Factory was a cracker, it was full, people were very nice to us, Maria Taylor and 13 Ghosts were great, we drank whiskey and had a hotel room party afterwards. Apparently we throw decent after show hotel room parties.
We all had a great time on our recent US trip and cannae wait to get back in July, dates should be announced soon.
Hasta Luego,
Lee
