A few weeks ago, I found out about a "Mondo Porno A-Go-Go" party at the rock club Arlene Grocery in downtown Manhattan.On the bill were The Orgasmabots, The Sex Slaves and Porn Rock, who'd I'd seen open for a KISS tribute band last year. I remember that night, because it was the only time I'd seen a chick sing topless in a thong while a couple of fillies stripped naked next to her — as the audience took as many photos as it liked.
I didn't know about the show till that morning, and I didn't attend due to the short notice — and because none of my good-for-nothing-friends replied to my e-mail that said BEER, ROCK MUSIC AND NAKED CHICKS TONIGHT! Next time I'll try to be more clear.
Anyway, I thought it would be selfish of me to not share this link to photos from Mondo Porno A-Go-Go. Yeah, there's naked people in there, but you're old enough, right? And it's more than just gratuitous nudity. It's New York, man. It's real.
