Siberia, around the corner from Bellevue Bar and just as weird, is the place to be to see the debut of the Hank Williams III documentary, Third Generation Outlaw.

It is showing Tuesday, February 5th at 8:30 pm. This film was made by Luke Littell, a great guy who we should all support.

After the film, stay to listen to the big rock sounds of Puny Human; or go over to Bellevue and listen to the best jukebox in the city.

Siberia is at 40th and Ninth Ave; it's the bar that used to be in the subway station on 50th St.

Wow. Check this event out: "AlcoholReviews.com-Penthouse Vodka Festival 2002" -- are you kidding me? Alcohol samples AND Penthouse Pets? It's Monday, Feb. 25, at Grand Central Station. Here's the scoop:

"Come taste some of the best vodkas on earth, sample food from the kitchen of the world reknown chef, Charlie Palmer, frolic with a Penthouse Pet or two, listen to jazz, and gaze upon the architectural splendor of Grand Central Station. And a portion of the proceeds will go to a policeman and fireman's family and widows fund!"

Well this is cool. The mother of one of the bartenders on here emailed me and asked for a copy of her daughter's pix. That's a first!

After nycbp.com got into The New York Observer last week, we got all kinds of calls, even a message from Playboy.com. Seems they may think some of the people on the site are worthy? What do you think? Well read this press release, and pass it on! They emailed it to me today...
