Condolences to photographer Lori Baily on the tragic loss of her parents
Thurston Moore by photographer Lori Baily (more)
It pains me to have to write this post.
BrooklynVegan-contributing photographer (and friend to anyone that has met her) Lori Baily's parents were murdered in their Nebraska home this past Sunday. It was a completely random act of violence by a suspected psychopath who is now in custody.
Lori Baily is an asset to the entire music community in NYC. Whether it's checking out Thurston Moore, the 'world music' of Extra Golden or even a metal show, you'll find Lori out watching and photographing bands almost every night of the week. You saw her pictures of Iggy & the Stooges on this website yesterday. I know that her plans for this month included spending a lot of time at John Zorn's club The Stone, seeing the Melvins and checking out fellow Nebraskan Conor Oberst at Bowery Ballroom tonight.
She is also constantly helping out bands, photographers & friends in any way she can
"Lori is one of those people who will go to any means to help out a struggling artist or struggling musician. She has put us up numerous times, for free. Anything we've ever needed help with, Lori has always been a sure bet. She does a lot for free for a lot of people in the NYC music scene. We'd love to be able to return that generosity to her in this time of need."Lori's parents were the same way. Now Lori needs our help.

You can and should send stuff to the following address:

Currently on a leave of absence from her day job, her expenses will not be limited to funeral costs, lawyers, travel, rent and living. PayPal to bailyfund@gmail.com or use this button:

The website server host performed an upgrade on the server and some things aren't working right now. In case you see an error or a page doesn't load, you know why. :(

still fixing things. still moving slow.
You may still be experiencing technical difficulties. BrooklynVegan.com was just upgraded to new software, and we're still working the bugs out of the new system - slowly, but surely (and slightly at the expense of sleep and new content. sorry!). I'll ask people to report any errors again in a few days, but for now they are to be expected. thanks!

you may be experiencing technical difficulties
As some have noticed, this website is going through a little trouble right now. You might recognize the phrase "Internal Server Error". It's a recurring problem that makes me want to cry - often leading to less sleep and more gray hair. Luckily (hopefully), that should all be in the past very soon. Qualified people are working on an upgrade to the whole system as we speak. The goal: a faster and more-functioning website in 2008 (commenting especially). Thanks!

"Remember personal info" now fixed + tech help needed
DOWNLOAD: YACHT - Remember What This Feels Like (MP3)
The "remember personal info' feature on this site hasn't actually worked for at least a year. Now it does (yay!). That means repeat commenters (that choose not to be anonymous) don't have to do as much typing. That also means that people have less reason to stay anonymous. If you comment a lot, pick a name!
On a related note, if you think you have what it takes to get "tags" working on this website (currently they go to nowhere), please contact me. Thanks!

Don't be scared to search
For like a year the search feature of this site (located in the column to the right) has sucked really bad, so I recently changed it over to a search using Google. If you were previously afraid to even bother searching, try again now. Maybe one day something better will come along, but until then I think this works pretty well. Let me know if not. Thanks!
