subject to change: art figures out most basic parts of reality
january 21st @ the Ampatron


As a fancy lady strolls down greenpoint ave a brisk wind briefly lifts her silken petticoats. A dapper gentleman joins her in his tophat, pretending he missed the brief glimpse of her slender ankles.

Fancy Lady: Some people say art is a form of escapism but I think it’s about figuring out the most basic parts of reality.
Gentleman: Forgive me, Madame, but whatever do you mean?
Fancy Lady: You know, finding beauty and vastness in the things that confine us in reality.
Gentleman: Well, I’ve never heard such rubbish in my life! Art? I can’t imagine a worse waste of money!
Fancy Lady: Oh but Sir! It’s Free! It’s an art party. There will be refreshments.
Gentleman: Art is just a form of politics. Crass impostors trick the comman man into frittering away his piteous pittance.
Fancy Lady: But Augustus don’t you see it’s entertaining. Haven’t you ever yearned to subvert the emptiness that fills all the available space around us?
Gentleman: Well, if it’s free and there are refreshments I suppose I could find the time.
Fancy Lady: Oh you old curmudgeon isnt it January 21st @ 7pm?
Gentlemen: [looks at watch and down ave.] Well, I suppose it is.
Fancy Lady: And wont you be jamming with the Equation?
gentleman: Jamming it where?
Fancy Lady: At the Ampatron, you ninny. 113 Franklin st. Brooklyntown. Surely you rode the G train here to Greenpoint Ave lest thee took the b-61 bus to the corner of Greenpoint and Manhattan Avenues and walked downhill with me to Franklin st.
Gentleman: Frankly, madame, I dont know that I can be a party to this bohemian nonsense.
Fancy Lady: Here we are Augustus. It’s the very same entrance as Cherry Bomb Tattoo where you got your anchors.
Toad: [from gentleman’s pocket.] If you dont open the door for the lady I will pee on you.
Gentleman: There’s nothing worse than an absurdity that has no idea how absurd it is. [twirls moustache.]

Take G train to Greenpoint Ave or the b-61 bus to the corner of Greenpoint and Manhattan Aves.
The Ampatron shares the same entrance as Cherry Bomb Tattoo near the corner of Franklin and Greenpoint Ave.
