The East Village Inky

14/09/2024

The Mailroom Böyz inform me that there's a large percentage of East Village Inky readers in NYC, but there are a few in driving distance of Nyack or Portsmouth, New Hampshire. (As non drivers, our concept of American geography is a bit creative...)

The Chief Primatologist's solo show NURSE! is popping up in all three over the next couple of weeks, and I'd love to clap eyes on any and all of you from those tiny stages (one of which appears to be the back room of a tattoo business? Hi ho! Glamour!)

9/16 - NURSE! 1 Night Only - NYACK
9/18 - NURSE! 1 Night Only - NYC
9/27-29 Nurse! PORTSMOUTH!

NURSE! is back for the first time since 2018. Juliet’s Nurse is on the road, deploying her eyewitness observations to […]

The theme for East Village Inky is:

ONLY CHILD OF THE 70s.
70s Nostalgia received the most first place votes, Only Child received the most votes overall (and has some extremely persuasive lobbyists.).

Given how difficult it is for me to disentangle these 2 topics in my own mind, the election judges spproved me to give ‘em a simultaneous go.

We’ll get to all the topics eventually. Well, maybe not Art.. Philistines!

i’ll get crackin. You’ve got a couple months to order back issues, stickers, gift, subscriptions, and CREATIVE, NOT FAMOUS: The Small Potato Manifesto to lessen the interminable wait.
Thanks to all who voted.

Bopping around the east coast in September. If you've got a venue, and wanna host NURSE for a night or two that doesn't conflict with Lawrence at Radio City, holler.
