New Cities/New Soviets

October 07, 2004

fucked on both ends

this has not been a good week. on the one side, there has been a change of landlords at the space where I store the cart. Hopefully, I will be able to work out a deal with the new owner. In the meantime, I'm having to push the cart over half a mile (again), just to get to work. This is trouble I don't need.

on the other hand, the police have been hasseling me and my collaborator about setting up on ludlow street. They say it's a matter of "keeping the sidewalk open." Open for what, I wonder? Almost all of the people on the sidewalk are either going to the cart, or going to the club. So they are, presumably, blocking the street -- from themselves. But there is no point in trying to talk to the police. The last time I tried that, I got slapped with a ticket. So we have to stay off Ludlow, which reduces our revenue by about 30%. Fuck and double fuck. Working harder for less...
