barbes, otra vez

By Robbie on July 13, 2009

Gimme just one more last chance! Jenny Scheinman and I did the "last" of our Barbes (9th St. and 6th Ave., Park Slope, Brooklyn NY) duo series a couple weeks ago. Turns out we jumped the gun. The other day as we were sitting at her apartment, staring morosely at each other, separated only by a moldering bowl of granola and a heaving sack of amniotic fluid, it came to us of a sudden -- before long one of us will be living in another town and the other toting a howling homunculus in a papoose and probably done with music altogether, and in the meantime, here we sit with hands under buttocks, scanning each others' distended stomachs, adrift in pointless envy of Ryan Adams. Why not "put our hands to good use," to quote Arturo Gatti's trophy bride?

If you just stumbled onto this page my meaning may be unclear. To summarize: fiddle and guitar, very pretty singing music, hipster nightspot, no cover, all remaining Tuesdays in July at 7PM, F train, crying baby, Ryan Adams.
