“To ride a subway train is to place oneself in the center of a rawness of humanity, a hopefully egalitarian and level playing field of interaction, a jumbling of different goals, motivations, distractions, or even emergencies. What to Carry into the Future performs a new cognitive mapping of this realm.”

Thanks to @tripp.benjamin for putting or helping put this together on Sun. 12/7/25 at @thewindjammer in Ridgewood, Queens. #nycshows #windjammernyc #ridgewooddiymusic #nycdiymusic #nycdiyscene #bkdiyshows #bkpunk #nyconemanband #phillyrock
Like a play, read/performed live continuous with upwards of twenty actors sharing the stage at times over the course of 35 minutes, this is part of a screenplay we plan to begin filming next year.
For anyone who came to the Ladder Meets A Cloud play as part of Footlight Presents at the Windjammer (the theater/event space is in the back of the bar) in '23, this is for fans of that, but this is also for the moment shorter and meant to eventually all be part of a feature film.
12.7.25 Sunday 7 - 9pm it occurs with the musical support of GT Arpe all the way from Western Philadelphia, their respective set begins the evening at 7pm, before the reading at 7:30, then at 8 it's Revolving Ghost, followed by Eldridge at 8:30. $10 - $15 suggested donation, no one turned away for lack of funds
“‘Let’s enjoy this quail,’ he says, as over-
standing it. Bribes on and within
the other side of the day, iron
aluminum parsed with bronze flecks
somewhat goblin
has rejection for breakfast
skips lunch, wants dinner after a
certain point if it can be brought
to them on a fine platter
what capitulation looks like”

playing new original musical material with the Bellicose Boys later this month in the 11385 NY areacode alongside The And Group & @tehfederalreserve Cherries, who has an album out currently with @radicaldocuments , plus there will be a special secret guest. I also have about 7 copies left of the blue cassette tape of my mostly solo stuff that I self-released as an edition of 50 in '22, which will be available at the show for sale or trade
Friends, colleagues, neighbors and etcetera acquaintances possibly in or around the 11385 NY areacode: as you may already know for a couple years now I've been a part of a local art studio practice space collective at a Secret Location on Long Island behind Trans Pecos. We are currently looking to expand our membership core team to keep this space thriving as a one-of-a-kind public commons and artistic resource where you can do things like rehearse in an inspiring setting or print out an accidental double exposure photo you took when you were 20. So maybe you or someone in NY who you know falls into that category of looking for music rehearsal space that isn't like 50 rooms on every floor and it feels like Terminator 2 with seven Green Day cover bands all at once, anyway. Monthly rate for a band to get a weekly slot here are in the $100 - 300 range.
Also though, I have these past two years steered some of the activity more in the directions of not just music but writing, publishing, visual art, other performance art. I have a studio upstairs, I share a wall with @__youdontlikeit__ I do a lot of writing at a desk where we have such amenities as * printer scanner * *WI Fi* I do some photography when I can afford it, very lite video production also for self-tapes with the studio camera, I've helped friends by doing headshots for them, printing/scanning, editing...
Long story short: I'm able to show the space starting this last week of Dec. and/or sometime in Jan.
It's nice to have a work space that is not your same living space. The space is all about fostering not only music but visual art and writing, D.I.Y. publishing, filmmaking, other performance art, and organizing events.
So I hope you'll consider reaching out to me or to the @friendsofdonquixote or @stephenocone whom you may already know. And we also now have a Patreon (link in my linktree in my bio!) which relates to our 'zine arts and literary publication we've been doing for a while and want to send out to more people. The FDQ Review, which you may have seen at the Topos Bookstores or Hart Bar.
So. More on all this soon. We do not support the SwipeMind mentality. But we do support various music..
