JULY 2009
By: Sarah L. Myers - Editor-In-Chief
New York, USA
It's my favorite New York City bar, my favorite New York Dolls song, and now it's my favorite way to get trashed.
Sarah and Vera
Friends and family filled Bowery Electric June 7 for the release of "Poisoned Heart", the story of Vera and Dee Dee Ramone. Mickey Leigh, Marky Ramone, Bob Gruen, Bebe Buell, Danny Fields, Jeff Magnum, and Jimmy Webb all mingled as Vera signed copies and the back room became a dance hall as Ramones music played. Best part of the night - laughing outside with Danny Fields and sharing a dance with Jimmy to Iggy's "China Girl". A perfect New York night honoring one of New York's punk heroes.
Bebe Buell
Friends and family gathered at New York's Hiro Ballroom for Bebe Buell's single release party June 24th. All the usual suspects, from Mick Rock to Bob Gruen, to Bebe's daughter Liv Tyler, packed the room. The crowd threw air kisses and yelled "I love you" as she took the stage, looking more beautiful than I'd ever seen her. It was a great night, filled with the spirits of friends past - Bebe sang a song penned by Johnny Thunders, and paid tribute to close friend Joey Ramone with her song "Black Angel". With Iggy Pop speaking at an event across town, it was a great night for punk and a great night for Bebe. Air kisses! Our exclusive interview with Bebe is HERE.
Joe Coleman and Sarah
Chili fries and 64-ounce beers, elaborate costumes, sword swallowers, and naked people in the street - it must be the Coney Island Mermaid Parade! This year's King Neptune, Harvey Keitel, was the main attraction, but I was more impressed with the legions of mer-people who braved the (endless) New York rain to get crazy at Coney. I ran into my friend Joe Coleman outside the Freak Bar, where we shared sips of beer from a gold-plated skull. Only in New York and only at Coney Island! Check out our interviews with the genius of Joe Coleman HERE.
My sources tell me the upcoming Joey Ramone biography is done and scheduled for release in December! Read our interview with Joey's brother, Mickey Leigh, HERE....Chicago's own Graham Elliott appeared on "Top Chef Masters" this week! Check out our exclusive video interview with the chef HERE...And finally, one more shot from the street. Neckface lives! Send your "Shots from the Street" to info@staythirstymedia.com and if you're lucky I'll put them in the next TRASH!
