Sonic Youth’s The Eternal release party.

Art gallery at 131 Chrystie street in the lower east side. The chatter is louder than the music. Free indian beer and pizza slices from Two Boots.

Bands cover Sonic Youth songs at the bar downstairs but the nice evening after the long winter and cool wet spring makes me  want to hang out in the street.

Photographers Richard Kern and Michael Lavine are there too.

I think I haven’t hanging out outside in the Lower East Side for a long time. It feels like it was a few years ago. This stuff now happens more in Brooklyn, apparently.
