for future reference

1970's, late, @ nyc's les mouches.  kitty, who ended up being my roommate.  140 7th ave.  1D.  prime 2 bedroom space.  we had this architecture that modern architecture noticed in late 70's.  i wish i knew what late 70's meant.  75? gah, that's a long ass time ago, but i was in nyc then, no?  76 i know i had touched new york city.  in between florida/nyc run of the mill.  fire island really.  tho, i never did care for the island's politics.

but les mouches was this restaurant and bar/nightclub on 25th street and 10th or 11th.  11th, because it was across teh street from that other palace?  oh 25th?  i cant recall the name of that place right now, but it was where junior broke out.  and madonna.  had to do with the circus didn't it?  i cant remember much about it other than it was there, and a place to be.  but les mouches was quite the place, both in the restaurant, and in the nightclub scene.  managed by bill mcginty.  and run by a band of brothers, i cant remmeber their names right now either.  but i remember bill mcginty.  anyway, back to les mouches.

situated in two buildings, the restuarant and bar/nightclub would take in a loit of money when they would open.  staying open beyond hours was also their moneyticket, i'm sure.  les mouches.  the fly in french.  don't ask.  i had one of their t-shirts.  nice design.  it was the place to be in 75/76 i think.  i was only 19-20.  hot son of a bitch i was.  and i played it up at les mouches.  fucking everybody in sight.  heh.  that was back in the day of cocaine being fresh.  pre-krak.  the drugs were so rampant, we, servers @ les mouches, had these crystal plates made with grooves in them for the coke.  came with a cigarette, or straw, holder.  back when such things were still celebrated.

oh ya, les mouches.  one of the reasons i'm alive today was due to bill mcginty, one of the managers/owners?...  he acted like he owned the place tho.  i wish i could remember who else was part of that klan.   some jewish guy i remember, but i dont recall the name.
