Vol. 1, No.1, October 2015 Vol. 1, No.1, October 2015 It all happened at ST Marks Place: Abbie Hoffman invented the Yippies at No. 30; Andy Warhol, the Velvet Underground, and Jimi Hendrix performed at the experimental nightclub Electric Circus. Gallery 51X backed eighties-era graffiti artists like Keith Harlng and Basquiat. At No. 77 Leon Trotsky edited the dissident newspaper Novy Mir in 1917. Years later in the same building, the poet W.H. Auden and the artist Larry Rivers lived below. At the Holiday Coctail Lounge, Alan Ginsberg drank. Madonna was there, These are just a few of the characters that haunt Haiku - Poem by Allen Ginsberg Drinking my tea Without sugar - No difference. The sparrow shits upside down - ah! my brain & eggs Mayan head in a Pacific driftwood bole - Someday I'll live in N.Y. Looking over my shoulder my behind was covered with cherry blossoms. Winter Haiku I didn't know the names of the flowers - now my garden is gone. I slapped the mosquito and missed. What made me do that? Reading haiku I am unhappy, longing for the Nameless. A frog floating in the drugstore jar: summer rain on grey pavements. (after Shiki) On the porch in my shorts; auto lights in the rain. Another year has past - the world is no different. ST. MARKS BACK IN THE DAY By 1963, Cue's New York: A Leisurely Guide to Manhattan, was already sending folks to the East Village for its cafes, galleries, and charming Beatniks—people like Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg, a longtime area resident and denizen of Gem Spa at the corner of St. Marks and Second Avenue. Despite Ginsberg's eventual place among the first ranks of American poets, the most influential poet to live in the East Village at the time wasn't a Beat at all—it was W.H. Auden, who resided at 77 St. Marks (former home of Trotsky's Novy Mir), drank copious amount of booze at the Holiday Cocktail Lounge next door at No. 75, and went to the bathroom at the liquor store on the corner because his apartment apparently had no facilities. Alan Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky on St Marks. Abbie Hoffman Yippie Button. Upper left hand corner the newstand Gems Spa. AUDEN ON ST. MARK’S PLACE If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me. Hail, floppy-slippered bear of St. Mark’s Place! I seem to glimpse your cheesy, limestone face where you loom at a dirty window, gin in paw, on a hot evening during the great Cold War. The young Trotsky wrote and printed Novy Mir in the basement, now a xerox joint; but your own permanent revolution is the resilient spirit of the risen Christ, your multicultural heaven illuminating the new world we inherit, redeeming by intellectual grace and merit the Unaufgeklärten in the boondocks, even. Joseph the druggist, Abe in the liquor store, Maurice the mailman, Elizabeth Mayer and Marianne Moore are the happier for your grumpy love; for, funny in Hobbit T-shirt and dubious Levi’s, you were a victim of nothing but irony, Gramsci’s new disease of the interregnum”; and to castration–and-death phone-threats replied without hesitation: “I think you’ve the wrong number”. Lord of martini and clerihew, who saw Rome and the other empires fall, who were so insistent on your privacy, who so valued personal responsibility, what would you make now of the retentive pax Americana, our world of internet and fax, a still-thriving military-industrial complex, situational ethics, exonerative 12-step programs, health fascism, critical theory and ‘smart’ bombs? While we hole up in our bath-houses and catacombs, votaries of Eros if not always of Aphrodite, I see you ride at rush-hour with your rich pity and self-contempt an uptown train packed to the doors with “aristocratic Negro faces”, not like ours, or reciting ‘The Unknown Citizens’ at the ‘Y’. When will she – Gaia, Clio – send downpours to silence the “gnostic chirrup” of her calumniators? When will we hear once more the pure voice of elation raised in the nightwood of known symbol and allusion? Oh, far from Mother, in the unmarried city, you contemplate a new ode to Euphrosyne, goddess of banquets; and in the darkest hours of holocaust and apocalypse, cheap music and singles bars, you remind us of what the examined life involves – for what you teach is the courage to be ourselves, however ridiculous; and if you were often silly or too “prone to hold forth”, you prescribe a cure for our civilization and its discontents based upon agapé, Baroque opera, common sense and the creative impulse that brought us here, sustaining us now as we face a more boring future. © 1995, Derek Mahon From: Collected Poems Publisher: The Gallery Press, Oldcastle, 1999 BAR BITES, LATE NIGHTS & DINING DELIGHTS Infamous L.E.S Late-night egg sandwich only on the Lower East Side! double egg sandwich of scrambled & fried eggs, Bazynski bacon, sharp cheddar, buttered Panya Japanese milk bread Holiday Singalong Burger double or single brisket patty, Martin’s potato roll HOLIDAYED COOTIE CATCHER HOLIDAYED Catcher 2 1 ABOUT MY FRIEND...

In 1966, Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey performed here with The Velvet Underground. Using light shows to create a cool vibe.

St. Marks Place is the hippest street in America. It has always been a home for misfits, and there are still kids flocking here from all over the city, and the world. Girls and Broad City both prominently featured the street in 2015. For a century it has been where young people—revolutionaries in the teens, Beats in the fifties, punks in the seventies —have gone to feel free and find each other. In the 1960s, it was the east coast center for hippie culture. The East Village had The Electric Circus, The Dom, and The Fillmore East.

  • 1 Gutta Percha Willie
    1 GUTTA PERCHA WILLIE: THE WORKING GENIUS BY GEORGE MACDONALD CHAPTER I. WHO HE WAS AND WHERE HE WAS. When he had been at school for about three weeks, the boys called him Six-fingered Jack; but his real name was Willie, for his father and mother gave it him—not William, but Willie, after a brother of his father, who died young, and had always been called Willie. His name in full was Willie Macmichael. It was generally pronounced Macmickle, which was, by a learned anthropologist, for certain reasons about to appear in this history, supposed to have been the original form of the name, dignified in the course of time into Macmichael. It was his own father, however, who gave him the name of Gutta-Percha Willie, the reason of which will also show itself by and by. Mr Macmichael was a country doctor, living in a small village in a thinly- peopled country; the first result of which was that he had very hard work, for he had often to ride many miles to see a patient, and that not unfrequently in the middle of the night; and the second that, for this hard work, he had very little pay, for a thinly-peopled country is generally a poor country, and those who live in it are poor also, and cannot spend much even upon their health. But the doctor not only preferred a country life, although he would have been glad to have richer patients, and within less distances of each other, but he would say to any one who expressed surprise that, with his reputation, he should remain where he was—"What's to become of my little flock if I go away, for there are very few doctors of my experience who would feel inclined to come and undertake my work.

  • Unit 1 – Something That Doesn't Exist
    Name: Date: Unit 1 – Something That Doesn’t Exist alternate / bland / convert / intense / navigate / pedestrian / require / retire / revert / sparse 1A Introduction Have you ever invented anything? You might have some idea that being an inventor means wearing a white lab coat and spending time tinkering with something in a dusty basement. But that’s not true at all. The power of invention is in all of us. As Robert Kennedy once famously said, “There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask ‘why?’...I dream of things that never were, and ask ‘why not?’” 1B Song Lyrics Think of something that just doesn’t exist and say, “Why not?” Why not? Think of something that just doesn’t exist and say, “Why not?” Why not? (x2) All the things that you use on the daily, Didn’t always exist; man, it’s crazy. Like someone once invented a shoe, Invented a cup, invented some glue. One day some dude taking a stroll with a scroll, Thought, “Having one long page gets in the way, I’m like a ship that’s lost, can’t navigate, Can’t find my favorite passage on the page.” So he thought for a minute, took a long look, Then that dude invented the book! And you can do it too; your mind’s free, Just think, “What do kids require and need?” When you make that thing, you’ll find fame, And if it becomes big then you’ll get paid. Like I was drinking a soda; it was kind of bland, The taste wasn’t strong, then I hatched a plan.

Not that much Farther than Northwest and less intersections. B02 Route I bike most often B03 Route I bike most often I use this route a lot to go to and from work.

  • Famous Long Ago Michael Uhl 13 2 SAFE RETURN “In a Large Vintage
    Famous Long Ago Michael Uhl 2 SAFE RETURN “In a large vintage office building off New York City’s Union Square, an area which has traditionally been the headquarters for groups involved in radical causes, there is a Dos Passosan office which is a chaos of newspapers, books, files and posters. On the door, a letterhead announcing the Citizens’ Commission on U.S. War Crimes is scotch taped to the glass.” That’s how the writer James Reston, Jr. described the two room suite Tod Ensign and I occupied on the tenth floor at 156 Fifth Avenue on the uptown corner of West 20th Street. Reston’s geography, stretched for effect, was a few blocks off but the atmospherics were on target.1 This was New York City’s Movement building where many left-wing groups had their headquarters in the late Sixties and early Seventies, including Vietnam Veterans Against the War. And it was here that, during the fall of 1971, Tod and I brain stormed daily about what we might still accomplish politically to help keep the smoldering Vietnam War visible in the minds of an American public for whom the decade long conflict appeared to be over. In the interim the old CCI letterhead remained stuck to the door. Every morning I would walk to the office from my apartment on East 5th Street near First Avenue. Most days I’d follow the same route: across St. Marks Place and up Fourth Avenue toward Union Square, then along Broadway, crossing on 20th Street one short block west to Fifth Avenue.

  • Compressed Calendar Feedback Survey – Student Responses To
    1 | Page ​ ​ ​ ​ Compressed Calendar Feedback Survey – Student Responses to Qualitative Item: “If you have anything you would like to share with the committee regarding this topic, please describe below.” (N=416) 1. 15-16 week semester is more traditional and common now than the 17 week semester. 2. 17 weeks is really long. Feels like a drag, makes me less motivated toward the end. 15 weeks seems more reasonable. Also, lengthening class times seems like it would burn students out. I think class length should remain the same because after a certain amount of minutes students will zone out anyway. 3. A compressed schedule is not in the best interest of the student. Academic success is far more important than having an additional week off for summer break. 4. A compressed semester would be horrible for adult students that work full time day jobs. More evening classes would be ideal. 5. A lot of the spring semester 2017 students that I know, including myself, have felt like this semester is very long. We have expressed how we feel burnt out, mentally checked out, having a hard time rallying the energy for our finals, and I believe this is due to the length of this semester. Thank you. 6. According to the numbers, there are more part time students than full time. Are these students part time because of needing to come in the evenings due to work? If so, adding more variety of classes in the afternoon might be an option. As someone who only had the option of night time classes for a while, it was difficult getting a decent teacher or into a class because much wasn't offered.
