The Spaghetti Incident's Incidentals
When I first reported that Four Corners Managment's Avram Hornik and Mark Fichera (Drinkers, Lucy's) had leapt into bed with R5's Sean Agnew to purchase 10th and Spring Garden's Spaghetti Warehouse, no body figured they'd just make food and sell liquor as the license they were after allowed them such. They were going to — supposedly — open a concert hall called Union Transfer with help from New York booking boys Bowery Presents. September 2011 has been the tentative go-to date. While we haven t heard from Hornik or Fichera, Agnew and I have kept a steady if still secret communiqué going in relationship to said pasta ballroom blitz.
The Spaghetti Incident's Incidentals
When I first reported that Four Corners Managment's Avram Hornik and Mark Fichera (Drinkers, Lucy's) had leapt into bed with R5's Sean Agnew to purchase 10th and Spring Garden's Spaghetti Warehouse, no body figured they'd just make food and sell liquor as the license they were after allowed them such. They were going to — supposedly — open a concert hall called Union Transfer with help from New York booking boys Bowery Presents. September 2011 has been the tentative go-to date. While we haven t heard from Hornik or Fichera, Agnew and I have kept a steady if still secret communiqué going in relationship to said pasta ballroom blitz.
Since the space closed before Christmas, Agnew has been traveling through the Kongs. Currently he is in Hanoi (DJing in a bar during this chat), heading onto India and then? “Heading home for a long time,” writes Agnew.
There are a lot of rumors that he wouldn’t answer for or fess up to — like how much of an owner (if any) he’d be in the venture, what possible food could be involved, what the hell is Bowery Presents doing there, were capacities planned or openings set? He wouldn’t confirm or deny a thing. Agnew gave me a lot of stuff off-the-record and it makes sense that everyone involved is cautious. “I am in talks right now to help run and book shows in this possible new venue. If all goes well it should be really cool.” OK, sounds tentative. But. For those saddened or pleased that Hornik’s Jumbo Theater attempts in Northern Port Fishington died, you had to admit: It never got a chance to breathe. What Agnew did offer as a solid should be a big relief to R5 indie heads who adore the DIY booker. “When and if it happens, it will not be the end of R5,” he says. “We will still continue to exist and book shows in other rooms.” Solid, that. Meal Ticket will have more news when Agnew gets to India.
