Welcome to the 2012 edition of my now annual presentation of some of the holiday images that I had observed while wandering around NYC over the course of the last few weeks. For ease of the posting they are all named with the Christmas Day date, but I took all of them at various times over the month of December. I hope you don’t mind, so here we go and “Merry Christmas” to you all 🙂

A Quick Glimpse Of The Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral In NYC
I was down in the Village and heading to a venue for yet another rocking show and while on my way there I passed the Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral down on Prince and Mott Street. I had a few minutes so popped inside to take a look around and they didn’t mind my taking some photos so I did. This visit was super quick so there aren’t a lot of images to peruse but at least its here for you residents to observe and even those friends from out of town who are marking down items of interest to visit when they get here. Enjoy.

Check Out Leo Villareal’s “Buckyball”
I always love the chance to see some really cool art displays while I adventure about in New York City and so far there have been a couple of times to do this over in Madison Square Park. The latest installation is called “Buckyball” which is the creation of artist Leo Villareal. I’ve copied the signage text just below its image.
A Visit To L’Amour Brooklyn (Kind Of, Sort Of….)
Do you remember L’Amour? You do? Great and for those among you who do not, for many, many years this was considered “The Rock Capitol Of Brooklyn”. We’ve got so many younger Metal fans out there nowadays that this legendary club is only a thing of the tales that their older relatives bring up from time to time as they recant shows of the past or when legendary bands discuss their early years. For the longest time this was THE PLACE to be for bands and week after week you could see Overkill, Queensryche, Mercyful Fate, Slayer, Anthrax, White Lion and hosts of other groups. It was a pretty cool place to go to enjoy some Metal for the most part but in today’s musical geography the original club has been shuttered for a number of years.
