This Ain't No Disco

I'm in an East Village mood today.
The sort of day where I daydream about waking up in my rat-infested loft next to my boyfriend who is lying next to his boyfriend who is lying next to a nightstand full of hypodermic needles and a vinyl of Talking Heads: 77.

When I feel pretty uninspired, I just think of all the music and art that came out of New York City in the 70's and 80's.
Some of it was great.
Some of it was pretentious and overhyped.
Nonetheless, people were always creating.

And that's what I gotta do...

If you can guess everyone in the pictures below (for a few of them guess the photographer), I will give you a copy of "Low Rent: A Decade of Prose and Photographs from The Portable Lower East Side". It's a fantastic collection of short stories, poems, and photographs from artists who lived or live in LES.
