\ngood-bye for now, PAT McCARTHY, originally from rural Connecticut, Bushwick-based for several years now, who put on ‘PAT’S PIGEON CLUB’ at MUDDGUTS last summer, RIP Muddguts, what a loss.
\nand more recently took the mainstream peeps, esp the fashion world !! who loved his t-shirts . . for a huge trend-setting thrill ride – at SATAN CERAMICS, SALON 94.<\/a><\/p>\n

great show !!
\npriced to go, too. damn, yes . . . opportunity still stalks NYC, esp for those who . . can s-e-e !!
