Stork's avatar View Stork's profile Favoriting

With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

Fred, sounds like you wear real glasses. Too bad, not enough buses or trains. Drivers may be sick. Adamdoesit, I heard doing that with soap works too.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:55pm
doctorjazz:

There are lens cleaners that are supposed to prevent fogging. If the fogging is when you wear a mask, it means you don't have a good fit/seal around the nose and upper part of the mask. With the super-contagious omecron variant, it's important to get that seal, you lose quite a bit of the protection with an opening in the seal. The metal on the bridge of the nose helps adjust so you don't have a leak (a beard decreases your seal as well, but I'm not shaving yet...). A good N95 or KN95 mask is becoming more important as well, and no longer are in short supply.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:57pm
doctorjazz:

Planes, busses, classes, Urgent Care Centers are closing because so many of the staff to work in them are out with COVID (that has to do with the recent drop in isolation to 5 days and no symptoms-there's no one available to work, so many people have caught it)

Do you recoup losses by having less paying riders? (you do if they're all prepaid, but otherwise, you need paying riders. The NY system is hurting for that reason, less riders)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:58pm
adamdoesit:

doc, sound advice. I've been burning through a KN95 a day in the clinic… and keeping the beard closer than usual. I've come to find the way the cheeks of the mask collapse on each inhale reassuring. (And, yes, fogging became much less of a problem since I began using better masks.)

No way, doc. Maybe i can find the tape at some point. It wasn't a live performance, though. Who knew that music engineered and performed to be repellent could be so catchy? Dave also brought The Kropotkins - another of his projects, to The Stork Club. Amazing performance.
Avatar 2:12pm
TDK60:

adamdoesit: I have entered subway cars going to hell, express. I usually quickly move to another side of a car if folks are non-masked and sometimes mention why. "nosedicking," is that when people have their mask below their nose? There is more of that. Still, I seem to see most New Yorkers really trying after what we went through in '20 and '21. This makes me unusually optimistic.

...and I do often go to the next car at the next stop if too many people are non-masked. I've changed cars three or four times to feel comfortable. But again, it's a minority that stands out. And there's the added dimension of houseless folks sleeping, and mentally ill folks usually not masked.

Avatar 2:33pm
TDK60:

Fred, It's just some of my anger coming out, after two years. I too see the teens who are stupidly non-masking, thinking they're being rebellious. Those sorts. I probably see some reactionaries too. But, like I have been saying, hats off to the majority of masked New Yorkers.

@TDK60: If we're venting, my pet peeve is people taking off their mask to talk loudly on their phone. Like exactly when they should be wearing a mask. Not many people use their phone as a phone, thankfully

TDK, roger that, hats off, masks on. I'm seeing a lot more people masking on the street again, too, like back before we collectively decided that outdoor transmission wasn't a thing. That's in the city at least. In uh redder areas upstate… well, I didn't really need to go to the hardware store anyway.

Stork-she's actually just teasing me with those posts. Interestingly, when she does post them, she sometimes gets responses to them from her friends, to the effect of, "because he has good taste..."

She's a good kid, actually likes coming out with me to hear jazz in NY Clubs. I know to avoid the very "out" shows, though (2 errors; the 1st Yo La Tengo Chanukah show, which had them jamming/noise making for most of the show-he's quite a guitarist-and the Sex Mob show with Nels Cline, who led the band into outer reaches for the whole set, NOT what they usually sound like. She didn't enjoy these 2...)

I just bought a ticket to a dance show, since those are not canceled (yet). No idea what it is, but it's at the Japanese cultural center (I love the place), and my agenda is all too clear with most concerts shut down again
Avatar 2:52pm
Stork:

Oh, that's a shame about Sex Mob. What pure fun that band usually is. Even "non-jazz" people usually go for the Mob. Sounds like Bernstein and Cline maybe got carried away. They're both capable of going kookle-burgers.

Yeah, I took my whole fam to see Sex Mob later, last summer, at an outdoor, upstate NY venue I like, with Modeski guesting on piano (he was at the show with Cline as well), and everyone LOVED the show (and they are mostly NOT jazz heads). But Cline (who I really like) took complete control of the Sex Mob show he guested at-it felt like they were all enthralled by him, and went wherever he took them. He's got this amazing kit, computer and boards he runs his computer through, and he gets amazing sounds. It just wasn't what I came to that particular show expecting...or my daughter...

Don't tell nobody, but the NYT paywall is more of a pay-scrim. Pull up the page source, and the recipe (or article content) is there, a soupcon of directions in a stockpot of formatting code. It's like they serve you the dish, then throw a napkin over it.

I subscribe, read and sorely need the NY Times on an almost hourly basis - but I swear if they put up one more fucking paywall for the content that I thought I was paying for, I swear to Nina Simone I'll cancel.

I'm feeling that way too Stork. Price I'm paying has steadily gone up, now triple to what it was a few years ago, and have been getting invite of $1.50 a month to add food but uncertain if it opens all the food related content or if that will become $5 a month in a few months. Grrrrrr.
