Sabotage Cafe 5 – Disillusionment / Conclusion

This is the final video in the series. Note the Nobody’s Fool logo drawn onto Cheryl’s sweatshirt. You’d almost think they were a real band!

The Sabotage Cafe 4 – Where I’m Living Now

Here’s part four of our five part series. In this one, Cheryl gives a tour of the squat in which she lives. It also features music by the Swing Heils, a Westchester punk band–that’s Chris Sweeney, one of my students, on vocals. The concert footage was shot at the legendary ABC No Rio.

Sabotage Cafe 3 – New Tattoo

This one is, I think my favorite. Mandy, our actress, riffed her way through it, and she came up with some great stuff. “Tramp stamp.” What a terrifically descriptive phrase.

The Sabotage Cafe – Street Level

Here’s video two! The frighteningly doped up guy at the beginning just happened to be walking past. We traded a cigarette for the rights to film him and he left us all feeling desperately sad.

The Sabotage Café — The Fire Escape

Some friends and I put together a bunch of youtube videos for the new novel. This is the first one, full of youthful rage and ennui. More will be on the way…
