That's why I love Pink Snow of Erocktica, my favorite "anti-censorship, erotic, theatrical, musical, free-expression, rock extravaganza." While I was receiving nothing but bad news from Wilma, that stormy cunt threatening to ruin my Fantasy Fest experience next week in Key West, Pink was kind enough to remind me about yet another Mondo Porno Party slated for Friday night, Oct. 21, at Arlene's Grocery.

What is a Mondo Porno Party? Nothing short of filthy rock bands, burlesque babes, dirty DJs and free smut. In other words, just the thing I'm gonna need Friday night to take my mind off the weather that'll likely cancel my flight to Florida on Saturday morning.

Erocktica goes on at 11:30 p.m. Dress as your favorite ghoul, or come normal as a pervert. Either way, bring a camera and your disdain for prudes.

Other New York Links:

• 350-Square-Foot Studio Sells for $475,000 in My Neighborhood — Link goes to apartments for sale and recently closed at the Ansonia, the landmark building a couple of blocks from my apartment that Babe Ruth made his first home in New York. It's nice and all, but almost half a mil for 350 square feet? The Babe took dumps bigger than that. In fairness, it is a close walk to Gray's Papaya hot dogs and probably was bought for someone's housekeeper or chauffeur.

• New York is America's Priciest City, By Far — Well, no shit, after seeing the previous link, but I thought San Francisco would have been a stronger No. 2. Then again, look at the price of middle relievers around here. Steve Karsay (6), Mike Stanton (4) and Paul Quantrill (3) combined to make $13 million for the Yankees in 2005, while pitching a total of 52 innings and all with ERAs of 6.00 or higher. Holy crap.

• New Yorker's Travelogue of 1,000 bars in One Year — A really great blog, as each entry stands as a serviceable review with nice pics.

• Nightmare: New York's Original Haunted House — If you wanna be scared to death, bang a Lincoln Tunnel hooker and wait till you sober up. Or go here. (Thanks, Alicea)

• Gotham Girls Roller Derby Tryouts — You've got till Nov. 21 to lace up those skates and throw some elbows.

• Dude Selling Collection of Hundreds of Video Games on Craig's List — With pics of the lair that no doubt has never been visited by a woman.

• Photos: Kermit Visits New York — The dude loves dem pigs, but he's still cool. Fun pics of my favorite frog riding in cabs, subways and atop the Empire State Building.

• Audio: The L-Train Is All Fucked Up — Frustration turned into song. "I wanna get drunk in the city tonight, but the L-Train is all fucked up."

• Top of the Rock to Open Nov. 1 — Can't wait for the Rockefeller Center observation deck, 70 stories above ground, to open up. Supposed to be 20 feet wide, more than double that of the Empire State Building.

• Manhattan Residence on Market for $55 Million — The online listing of the five-story limestone mansion comes with a costs calculator to see if you can afford it. Which is probably no, unless you play center for the Miami Heat, have starred in War of the Worlds, host the Oprah Winfrey Show, are named Howard Stern or are a Wall Street scumbag.
