27 APRIL 2015:
rang up a $14 tab thursday night (in a blackout rage?)…did i get kicked out by the female snookie manager?…i vaguely remember getting 3 budweisers (one for juan?)…he would’ve told me if i got booted out…
wednesday nights @ 9:30pm
i began playing here after moving to princeton in fall 2012
(20 february 2014:)
so i departed for the alchemist + barrister…i was prepared to apologize to “kevin” (the doorman who i gave the finger to 3 weeks ago)…but he wasn’t there…so i bummed cigarettes…a lot of people seemed to recognize me (but i didn’t remember them)…so i pretended to be excited to see them as well…i asked eric if i could perform some songs at the open mic…got a glass of water from the bartender…then i borrowed a girl’s electric guitar…and a guy’s (too light) guitar pick…the same old faces playing the same old songs…she was singing coldplay and amy winehouse songs…i sang “oh! darling” / “helter skelter” / “take me to the river”…i was shut down in the middle of “take me to the river”…i was “too loud” (by now it was around 12:45pm)…but the crowd seemed to dig it…
*WEDNESDAY NIGHT*
(9:30pm)
(alchemist + barrister)
(28 witherspoon street)
(princeton NJ)
(20 minute sets)
i performed at several open mics…on one occasion, i borrowed gabby aron’s electric guitar (and some other schlump’s guitar pick) and performed “oh! darling” and “helter skelter” before the organizer of the open mic shut me down for “being too loud”…he claimed that the tenants upstairs were complaining…closing out the night in style once more…

first performed a solo show on a thursday night
(april 2012)
cheryl drove me from the jersey shore
(paid with a $100 bar tab)
(i didn’t spend it all)
(and it didn’t carry over after that night)
the manager wanted me to perform the following night
(but i couldn’t find a ride from the jersey shore)
(both cheryl and fred marigliano bailed on me)
31 january 2014:
so i go to the A+B…
i sit down at the bar (and begin to blackout)
i don’t remember giving the middle finger to the doorman
i started chatting with a group of girls on the patio
(“the jafferians”)
i apologize to the doorman for giving him the finger after he calls me out on it…
then i fall flat on my face, injuring my nose…
profuse bleeding ensues…
an indian doctor attends to me as the group of girls surround me…i’m still in good spirits despite it all…
they drive me back to my place…john the drunk is awake…the indian doctor walks me in…i’m sure he got laid that night…later in the week the jafferian sisters FB friend me…and we exchange messages…they’re decent looking…
should i stick around tomorrow night for one last A+B open mic / ivy inn?
(or will i just get stranded in princeton?)
(and forced to shack up with a ready + willing coed…)
(sounds good to me!)
(banned from establishment after a visit on 1 february 2014)
(i gave the finger to the doorman and cracked my nose on the patio)
(although i later apologized to the doorman)
(he notified me of the ban on 17 march 2014)
(i had already visited the place on 14 march 2014)
(a hispanic worker told me to leave on saint patrick’s day 2014)
(nikos had paid my $5 cover)
(i had no money for drinks)
(i could only bum cigarettes)
(and i had to catch the bus anyway)
i booked a show @ A+B on 1 may 2014 (thursday night)…show up @ 9pm…perform from 10pm – midnight…i can play until 1am…same $100 bar tab (only for band members)…i hope they don’t shut me out at the door…
i invited roboray to play…i wasn’t sure whether they’d bar me at the door…then i got hit by a car as i was jaywalking to pick up my welfare check…i still wanted to play the show…but ultimately i stayed overnight at the hospital and told roboray not to come…i didn’t bother calling up the A+B…and therefore i’ve severed another connection…
played an open mic there in december 2014
(to an empty room)
(jammed with the young guitarist who ran the open mic)
i even invited some girls in the bar (who i’d met earlier) to come out and listen to me play
(they never showed)
so i went to karaoke night @ the ivy inn
(wanted to play the ‘wednesday night open mic’ with ‘arv’ in ‘january 2015’)
(he found out they cancelled it “until the weather gets warmer”)
(went here for a drink with kristen + kyle after the disastrous ivy inn show in ‘january 2015’)
(they were closing up @ 1am)
(the ‘dumb busty blonde bartender’ in the ‘front room’ wouldn’t even serve me another ‘drink’)
(because they were closing?)
(just a beer courtesy of ‘kyle’ + a ‘floater shot’ i swiped)

APRIL 2012:
performed a solo set @ the alchemist + barrister
(on a sunday evening)
there was hardly anyone in attendance…
(except mommy)
(i was paid a $100 bar tab)
(i used it for dinner and several drinks)
(i had no time to spend it all)
(and they wouldn’t carry it over for another night)
i was invited to perform a few days later…
(mama couldn’t drive me this time)
(fred marigliano offered to drive me there)
(but he couldn’t drive me back)
(his son was in the hospital)
(so i ultimately declined)
from then on, i was unable to book a show @ the A+B…
