The Village Voice
It has always been our idea to create a publication to distribute among the High Flats: a kind of magazine/newspaper that follows the activities of closed communities, exclusive residential circumstance, tiered domestic scenarios, mini skyscraper sympathies and synchronisations. I can’t imagine. Robert, a member of the tenants’ association, bon viveur, film star, society figure describes the set of buildings as individual villages. And immediately we transform the site to Greenwich Village and Norman Mailer and Germaine Greer and the Town Hall and the Village Voice and the riots and Midnight Cowboy and Taxi Driver and Driller Killer and Saturday Night Fever and Lenny Bruce and Manhattan and the Performing Garage and Serpico and Cruising and Debbie Harry and Mean Streets and Dog Day Afternoon and Chic and Studio 54. I can’t think of a better name, Village Voice. The publication will be bi-monthly and the launch is Jim Colquhoun, Lindsay Perth, Anne Colvin, Robert Dollar, Janie in Budapest, The Kennedy dynasty, Electric Theatre ( a cinema chain), Manhattan Band (50s jazz band). More soon. Please stand by.
