Tomorrow Night's Horton Heat Show...

Will be total Rock N Roll. Not only is there a threat of freezing rain turning Brooklyn into a sheet of ice before, during, and after the gig...the New York City Transit Workers Union is set to go on strike at 12:01AM Friday, right around the time Horton will be doing the encore. That means, New Yorkers stranded in the freezing rain...cabs? Park Slope is not cab country (in other words, it ain't Manhattan) and there is even talk of cabbies doing a brotherhood strike for night 1.

Transit workers, while I generally support their demands, should not be allowed to strike in New York, just like the Police and Fire departments. Public transportation is too vital...especially in this town where it is needed 24 hours a day (7 million people right the subways every day - 7 million!). But if they do it, we'll all be ice skating home from the Psychobilly Christmas tomorrow night. Oy.
