Madness and Fishbone at Hammerstein Ballroom

On Thursday, May 30, 2024, English band Madness closed their first US tour in over a decade at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, NY. They were joined by their tourmates, Fishbone, who played NYC for the first time with their new lineup, and will return for a free show in Brooklyn in a few weeks.

I covered the show for Impose Magazine and the full gallery of the sold out show is now available here.

Do you have a list of things you are/are not interested in writing? That can help if people want to send prompts to know where your interests lie and what your limits are so you don’t get any prompts sent that will make you uncomfortable. Plus, it means tailor-made prompts to fit the kind of stuff you will actually be excited about writing! :D

wait, dear anon, that's so smart! im also incredibly sorry it took this long, i started writing it, then just... thought i was being too silly and going too much into details so uh... yeah... i had to scrape it all and start once again multiple times

characters/relationship

my fav characters r barba and carisi. amaro is also fun to write for, rollins is kinda close to that category. however i dont see myself straying too far from writing anything not barba and/or carisi centered tbh. theyll need to be main characters for me (the only exception might be amaro). also love my boys mike dodds and bruno with all my heart but i havent yet tried them in writing *shrugs* barisi, obvi. barmaro, barmarisi. im also open to experimenting with barson and bardorisi (last one i wanted to try with the whole double rut fic, but then it decided to be barmarisi....) as u can see a lot of it includes rafael simply cause i project on him, so its easier for me to write, but again im open to experimenting!

warnings, genres, tags

warnings: good with mcd, noncon. graphic violence is questionable, but no mutilation (or anything even remotely close to body horror) genres and tags: oh i was created for angst. yknow that story about midas and how everything he touched turned to gold? well thats me and angst. hurt/comfort is chefs kiss. omegaverse! god, thats delicious, i need more of that too. fluff is something ive got difficulties with. i haven't exactly found a genre im unwilling to do, but im afraid of casefics... i dont think id do justice to crackfics so i wouldnt try, tbh. anything involving mental health (illnesses, traumas, responses, etc) is a plus for me, i love experimenting with that! to be more precise i include my dv survivor rafael fics in this one - the words for what im trying to describe might be wrong, but im not sure which one would be right sex tags: im a bottom!rafael truther (my maximum in making him top would be like dom!sonny in the mood to bottom, ig), obvi sub!rafi enthusiast. however i have an... intriguing relationship with bdsm so no hardcore stuff. stuff including copious amounts of fluids is good if u know what im saying *wink wink*.

i defo didnt write about everything, and also i really love yapping, so yall r always welcome to drop by and simply ask me about sth! id be more than happy to talk!

Influenced by Vernon Elliott & Mike Barson...this is a soundtrack to a TV show that only exists in Kev's own head. This is just a pretty little piano piece with a bassoon.

There is a richer fuller version of this with beats, bells & whistles by Jack Zevo on youtube too

The Most Haunted Houses in the Universe
