Very slight change to the October 10 event from Sister Sue -

Instead of Otto's we will go to:

Bar on A
170 Avenue A
NYC, 10009

It's much closer to the park. So gather at the park at 3pm, mingle and then head to the bar or just meet us at the bar around 5pm!

I am so sad that I didn't know about this until I read about it via a youtube comment on a Willy DeVille video the day after! I am a journalist who interviewed him March 1978 and maybe one other time on the phone and found him really interesting to talk too. I would have liked to have gone. Who were some of the folks who showed up? Any musicians? Thanks for responding!
