Northsix No More

Headed over to [Northsix] this past weekend for the [Lebowski Fest](https://lebowskifest.com/fests.asp) in time to catch [Bling Kong](http://www.blingkong.com). Good act, although plenty of guys were fleeing the stage area with the girls done up like cheerleaders and cocksucker (yep, that's his name) getting a little gay for these beer and bowling types. But really it was a chance to check out the space again before it all changes. All the info about Bowery Ballroom buying up the place and how it'll be shut down starting the end of January to be re-opened as the "Music Hall of Williamsburg" seems a shame.

Maybe it's for the best, but someone mentioned that [Galapago,] the great alternative art space which is next door, will also go down with the wrecking ball. Now THAT'S the real loss, if it's true. Galapagos has emerged as one of the few alternative spaces that attracts theater, music, performance and more outside the hipster purview. It's all for progress, but hopefully the Galapagos stuff turns out to be just idle chatter.
