hi David. If that (very lovely) John Hudak piece made you think of Blue Gene Tyranny (I think this is what I heard you say), it may have just been your telepathic powers at play: Scott on the other stream was playing a Tyranny piece at the same time.

@david: It was on Maspeth Ave next to Cooper Park. We had a large basement and backyard, large living room, and 3 beds and 1.5 baths. The my former partner wanted us to get our own place, so we moved to a small place in Bushwick, no shows at that residence..
