Can’t Sleep


The Hester or Grand Street bar/restaurant is run by a couple of women with apparent sapphic leanings, as this wall photo suggests. The place was closed but I asked if I could just take a couple of shots. I was in before they had a chance to respond. I was already shooting when they asked me to leave, to which I said “I’ll be happy to leave.” Then as I was taking a shot of the place outside, one of the women came out and said “sir, please don’t do that.” I told her she couldn’t stop me. She went right back in.

The extra “i” was added in so they could call themselves “O’Nieals.” Really…how low-rent can you get? At least they got the apostrophe right.

She’s thinking about what? About actually sampling one of the normal sexual activities that everyone with normal drives experiences fairly routinely? This is seemingly the big thing about Hope Springs — a story about a couple that hasn’t lived all that fully. Tommy Lee Jones just wants to hug and roll over and go to sleep, and Meryl Streep wants him to be the gamekeeper in Lady Chatterly’s Lover. Where can a story like this realistically go?

    Leave it to our borderline nefarious, unflappable host to conduct, shall we say, a rather untoward nocturnal anthropological outing? I hope that the authorities have been warned of our host’s arrival, if only to clear the streets of excitable riffraff, thus sparing Herr Wells the indignity of an unfortunate encounter with the local “wildlife”.

    Mr. Wells has returned, mon filles. Egad!

    Scored ludes at that station many times in ’87 and ’88. Worked a short stint at Vesuvio Bakery, too. Lady that ran it back then had dreadlocks and wore grass skirts. I made a snide remark one day (about how Barth was overrated) and was shitcanned instantly. Got the last laugh by hitching with her daughter to Olympia. Taught her the round and round low down. She was hooking last time I checked…

    These pics = reason 1,907,689,865 why I will NEVER even visit NY, much less LIVE there. Anyone who voluntarily leaves L.A. should be quarantined.

    WHY DO ANY OF YOU leave L.A.? Todd Gilchrist probably has a house. I’ll read about him doing karaoke with Rocchi in Savannah or some shit, when HE COULD BE IN HIS HOUSE NOT HAVING TO HEAR DALE DYE MAKE EGGS BENEDICT AT 4 AM. Apartment living is Dante’s Inferno, and I’d kill for a house, but yeah, Todd just skips off to the Milton Valley International Film Fest, no big deal, he’s got a HOUSE to come back to.

    STAY AT HOME. GOOD ENOUGH.

    Just don’t look at their website.

    “I know you’re closed, but can I just pop in for a minute to take photos of those boobies to post on my blog?”

    Twenty seconds later…
    “Fine, I didn’t really want to be here anyway!”

  5. FUN FACT: (I know Jeff will appreciate this since he’s such a big fan)

    That’s the bar they filmed in Sex and the City which Aidan and Steve opens, called “Scout”. I seem to remember at the time, John Corbett, the actor who played Aidan got clipped lifting a bottle of high-end vodka from the place during filming. They swept that under the rug pretty quickly.
