Overheard while walking around the Lower East Side looking at galleries:

At least you're unemployed here. I was unemployed in Hoboken!

The show at Rivington Arms (102 Rivington between Ludlow and Essex, 646-654-3213) is definitely worth seeing. Ask them to play the 45s in the back by William Pym. The show that opens tomorrow at Maccarone (45 Canal, 212-431-4977) from 6-9 with Daniel Roth seems worth a visit too.

The sign reads: Part Time Work, $8/hour. Must be articulate in describing things well. Good computer skills necessary.
