This is a pot (along with meth, LSD, et al.) pourri of eclectic information about certain characters like Blacky Falis and Sadie Massey and their assorted cohabitants and conjoint activities and as you can see the threshhold of humor is very low while everything else is very high. They seem to be part of a floating population from New York to Hoboken to Provincetown and you'll have to grant them every indulgence. When you get to the entry WHY IS EVERYONE SO CRAZY? it will hardly seem worth answering. East Village Other-directed.
