GO! WEDNESDAY

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN
By Christopher Muther

Alan Greenspan is flirting with us again-and we don't mean that he's trying to play footsie under the table (although we seem to recall having a dream about that once). Greenspan is coquettishly hinting that interest rates will soon be rising, which indicates that the economy can be removed from life support and Go! Can take our AmEx out of mothballs and finally buy that Hello Kitty vacuum cleaner we've had our eye on. Perhaps we can even afford to hire a house boy to operate the Hello Kitty vacuum cleaner. Yes, everything is coming up Rosie O'Donnell. But someone forgot to pass this news along to scrappy young artist-poet-photographer-record-label-owner Andy Friedman. Please, tell this dude that he no longer needs to wear, like, six hats to make ends meet. In fact, you can tell him tonight when he stops into the Zeitgeist Gallery to read his poetry along with projecting slides of his art. Friedman is all about getting art to the people. To do this, he busts out the slide projector and shows his Polaroids and pencil drawings, plus reads his verse, which is influenced by folk troubadours of yore. In fact, he's been doing this the past two years, plus running his small record label. You can hear (and see) his work tonight at 7. The suggested donation is $7, but perhaps if you donate more, poor Friedman can finally focus on just one pursuit.
