When you do that thing where you think up guests at a dinner party, I always skip Joni. For some reason, I wouldn't li to be at a fancy dinner with Joni but, a pot luck seems so laid back and casual. I'd definitely like to eat with Joni in that sort of setting.

The goodness that exudes from this man, his music and his band mates is a phenomenon that needs to be shared. There was a hush of peace and love throught the evening. I won't soon forget, and am grateful for that night.

I read somewhere that the Tin Angel was right next door to The Bitter End. The Bitter End is (and always has been) at 147 Bleeker. 145 Bleeker is currently Peculier Pub, and 149 Bleeker is currently Wicked Willy's. I've also read that Tin Angel was across the street from Cafe au Go Go, which was at 152 Bleeker, so I'm betting that Tin Angel is Wicked Willy's now. Ironic choice of name, if it's accidental and I'm right, right? cindy > From: lesirvin@gmail.com > To: joni@smoe.org > Subject: FW: Message from website > Date: Thu, 14 May 2009 12:42:43 -0600 > > Copy Lucas on any responses. > > -----Original Message----- > I am trying to find the exact location of the Tin Angel cafe on Bleecker Street in New York.
