Git Along Lil Doggies
Laboratory Theater’s newest work is a meditative, cowboy dance-drama about the spiritual imprint of the windswept landscape of the American west. In an impressionistic narrative drawn from a variety of sources, two outlaws on the trail of an old adversary take work as jewel thieves for a washed up brothel madam. In a chance encounter with a traveling magician, they locate their enemy and conjure the violent forces of nature through sex-magic to take revenge. Thursday, October 14. 8 p.m. $18. 575 Metropolitan Avenue, The Brick Theater.
I disagree with you about Obama’s economic polcymaking and job creation attempts – I view any failures there as more the work of those attempting to thwart him in anything he does. This is what I was talking about when I expressed amazement that two ostensibly similar people could have diametrically opposing interpretations of the same events. Additionally, I view the rest of the country as a looneybin (as does much of the world, as I’m sure you’re aware), so we’re even on that score.
Hey guys: Just posted an OT for you above if you want it.
M4L, any suggestions on a low ball offer? Asking $1.399M.
Thanks for your help.
DCB, I’ll sell you a fully renovated (non-cheesy bathrooms) place with a great yard and deck for under $900k.
DCB–re 107 Gates, the block is nice. I like this location a lot. Seem to be a good few cheesy renovation choices there, especially the bathrooms. But the house in general looks to be in decent shape and the price seems reasonable enough. Maybe if you could get it for 1.250 you would be feeling like you got a good deal. Hope this helps.

DCB, that blk is nice. it’s quiet. close to C and G trains. close to fulton st comm’l strip. renov are cheesy but it’s a new gut renov. has a curb cut parking in back yard. the owner is very motivated. seller nearly bit on my low ball back during the peak of financial distress.
Yes, I see that Obama’s IQ (whatever it is) has helped him in his economic policymaking and job creation attempts.
