*Everyday Chatter

Serendipitously, after posting We Love Your Dog! over at The Grumbler, I came upon Michael Sean Edwards' "No Dogs Allowed" flickr set--photos of dogs left outside a cafe on Tompkins Square Park. As it should be. And a great series.

Today is the last day of business for Moe's in Clinton Hill, reports a reader who says the 10-year-old bar is not "Mars Bar, Sophie's, or anything of the like. But it is a special place to me, warm, welcoming, far and away the most racially mixed dive bar crowd I've ever seen. And a great establishment." Go today to say goodbye.

See the great downtown poets of the 1970s at Anthology tomorrow and Friday night, including Ted Berrigan, Tim Dlugos, Eileen Myles, Alice Notley, Peter Orlovsky, Ron Padgett, and lots more. [AFA]

This looks good: A book about why we get annoyed by annoying people. [NYT]

If I were the entrepreneurial type I'd love to open a cafe for dogs and their fans and have a sign that said "No Bloggers Allowed".
