It doesn’t get any better, does it?
Yes, yes, I know… a little bit past its prime, but you know me, always tardy to the blogging party. (With running after my six children, training a flea circus, and making macaroni sculptures to sell on Ebay, it’s hard to find time to keep up with the kids.)
On Thursday night I was pretty tired, after dinner in TriBeCa, I seriously considered just packing it in for the night, but I pushed on through the lethargy and dragged myself over to the Bowery to see the much-talked about Scottish band, The 1990s. (Not to be confused with The 1900s, who played Bowery the night after.) I had been hearing bits and pieces of buzz about them for a while, but was never quite able to make it to one of their shows.

The deal is “still in negotiations,” says an insider. Look for an announcement in the coming weeks.
