The Nines in Collegetown claims to have the best pizza in Ithaca. I disagree. I think Collegetown Pizza has the best pizza in Ithaca – plus you can draw on the walls there. But this isn’t about pizza. It’s not about graffiti either. This is about music.
You know this guy?
Rock Star
This is Scott Walker, and he’s a Rock Star.
Scott’s band, Robbin’ Pain is playing at the Nines on Friday April 3rd at 10p.m. Robbin’ Pain, despite conventional knowledge, was not formed after the ugly breakup of The Razor’s Edge. True, the breakup of TRE was horrific, but Robbin’ Pain has existed for years prior, Walker subversively practicing in the Jersey garage of RP guitarist Ricky Dal Cortivo. Joined by Scott “FatBorch” Borchert, Robbin’ Pain promises a night full of rock, roll, re-verb, and only one Ramone’s cover.
So come Friday, get a pizza and a pitcher. Then another pitcher for Scott’s show.
It’s one of those things you never consider until you face it head-on, drenched in sweat and the thirst-comparative of starving; mad thirsty.
That’s how I found myself outside that convenience store in CollegeTown near CTB. I headed to the fridge knowing the only thing to quench my thirst was an ice-cold Zona, Grapeade.
I placed it on the counter, handed the clerk my dollar, and noticed something despicable at the display on the register: $1.07.
Like I’ve said before, Zona’s charm lies in its price. I had another dollar to cover it. I had $20. But just like I didn’t buy that $1.69 Zona at the rest stop, I refused to pay more than a buck for my Zona. Plus I wasn’t about to walk around with 93 damn cents weighing down my pockets and my spirits.
So in I go to the take-a-penny-leave-a-penny jar. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 pennies.
Grapeade is delicious.
