Cool

I just read an interesting tidbit in the new Rolling Stone's "Hot List 2005" section in which they slag off NYC as a "Hot Dead Zone" for a variety of reasons, including how "at night the cool kids used to flock to the Mudd Club, Area and Limelight- places with personality. Now New York nightlife is all about soulless, hanger sized enormo-domes like Marquis and Crobar, full of gelled up guidos and khaki clad tools." Hey now. Isn't that what happened to Chippewa... years ago? That is so awesome... the (former?) epicenter of universal cool borrowing a page from our humble Queen City, following in OUR tracks. Yes!

Of course that doesn't do anything about the guidos and tools, to say nothing of the sad homogenization of downtown bar scene afflicting both our great metropolises, but I'm sure the tide will turn eventually.
