“These photographs were taken during the month of March in 2009 during Morrissey’s Year Of Refusal Tour. The pages of this book include images from his performances at The Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, New Jersey, in New York City at The Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall, and Carnegie Hall, and at the Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. I also made it to Buffalo, New York for his show at The University at Buffalo’s Center for the Arts but I ended up drinking a bit much and I basically blacked out for that one.

We have a special guest visiting us this month at L’asso and teaching us all about beer. Thomas Barris, L’asso Cicerone (The word Cicerone is used to designate those with expertise in selecting, acquiring and serving today’s wide range of beers, similar to what a sommelier is in the wine world) is at L’asso every weekday during lunch in March to drink and talk BEER.

Some current beers on tap: Kulmbacher Pilzner, Sixpoint Bengali Tiger IPA, South Hampton Double White.

We found this great photo of the restaurant taken, during the day when the gates were down, by our flickr friend Dave Cook.
