Hiro Ballroom Racist? | (and the Bitter Blogger)
The Bloc Party hating, M. Ward doubting, music critic bashing (ironic?) (who was later confronted by Amy Phillips), Columbia University going, ‘I_AM_JAPAN,’ won tickets to the Beck show at Hiro Ballroom…
“0715: They finally open the doors. We enter Hiro, and we get it. Asian themed. The stage is a horrible wooden facade, with a dragon spewing smoke from its eyes and mouth. Stereotypes abound. Innumberable paper lanterns. Nonsense Japanese script on the walls. Stereotypes abound. Red walls and faux-bamboo mezzanine. Stereotypes abound, albeit confused ones.”
