I remember doing a panel with the Exciters once and that is indeed what they remembered warmly 50 years on from their tour opening for the Beatles - being protected from awful Jim Crow venue rules on tour together in the American South

Yay I hope we can! October in NO is the best. Living like I have 49 more years, also.

My grandma is 103 so I think my current midlife crisis at 49 is on time? Mostly I’m just thinking about Botox, future dogs, finishing stories I started during a Covid-era sci-fi group, my cool new book coming out next week

Had my wedding reception there courtesy of Antoinette when it was still K-Doe’s. I hope the sale provides for retention of the excellent mural!

I was thinking I would post about this great new insulated grocery backpack I got at Costco and then was like oh right also new book, possibly more important

Alison Fensterstock @alisonf.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Whoops, I haven’t been on here in a while but in deep self-interest I’m coming by to say I have a new book coming out next weekend! Please come to the festivities! hnoc.org/events/bunny...

Let’s spin the Astor Place cube and smoke Camel Lights and just sort of hang around

Unsure how much reach this account on this platform has but I freaking adore Nellie McKay and I am very glad she’s playing Monday!! It’s like WWOZ Piano Night but with just one person and supporting real cats, not just jazz cats

Don’t ask why this occurred to me but does anyone else think the Nancy Meyers white couch set dressing aesthetic is maybe a comment on the triumph of menopause

The dog was just starting to give me a paw and then WITHDREW it because he saw it was a bullshit healthy treat

The Las Vegas Sphere has totally succeeded in branding because I just saw some ball drop prep videos and I wondered “what is the Sphere doing for New Year’s Eve.” THE SPHERE OWNS THE PUBLIC ROUNDNESS SPACE

Ok so obviously I have heard “Have a very Jerry Christmas” quite a bit but this is the first time I’ve heard “and a happy Bob Weir”

Sorry yes that is low hanging fruit

Before the end of 2025 I promise to decide whether I like Geese or Goose better, it’s looking like Goose but that’s not saying a lot

Wow and here I was learning to code

Alison Fensterstock @alisonf.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

Wait anyone can be a deportation judge? Like me, with half an MFA in creative writing as my highest level of education?

Alison Fensterstock @alisonf.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

Yeah mine was a roll but it was sliced (that’s cheese not cinnamon)

Tonight 10-midnight CT on @wwozneworleans.bsky.social! Lefty had to buy an extra suitcase to bring home all the records he brought in Brazil and we will play them. Feliz Natal!!

They’re finally breaking ground on the old abandoned navy base in Bywater and we all got a flyer warning us to watch out for an increased semi-feral cat population fleeing their old house

I wound up only getting cookies because the cannoli makers were so stressed lol

Alison Fensterstock @alisonf.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Spare a thought this holiday season for the young people toiling in the cannoli mines at Angelo Brocato’s. It’s intense over there #verylocalskeet

I can’t be the first person to wonder if Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza were only together because of all the Zs

So far every language I’ve tried on a language app thinks I will be eating a sandwich and ice cream all the time as if every country is like the boathouse cafe in Central Park

Wish I could say I skipped school to hear Jan speak at the NYU beat conference in 1994, right before her death (I was a particular kind of nerd and in fact my school let me go downtown in lieu of class) but anyway very good choice NYRB!! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/b...

As an almost lifelong freelancer in the arts sphere, would you rather a) make a comprehensive up-to-date CV or b) stick a cactus up your butt and eat worms at the same time

Took me a minute to dig this up - from September 2015 at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame

There needs to be a term like Swedish death cleaning for what you do in middle age when you realize your house is full from all the stuff you magpied in your twenties and thirties and now you must make room for the stuff you will surely gather in the next half (god willing)

This unfortunately just makes me picture a bucket of soup, a list of soups to be served in buckets

Apropos of nothing I think people are overusing the word “material” to sound smartypants when “real” or sometimes “tangible” would do
