Taps are flowing at P&G’s — just not into pitchers
The owners of P&G’s have ended their legal battle to retain the liquor license for the business, the loss of which has been a possibility since a raid on March 15 resulted in four bartenders being charged with serving underage patrons and 14 patrons getting tickets for false ID. State authorities suspended the license immediately, but then a county judge put a stay on that suspension in May, allowing for operation of the alcohol side of the business while proceedings unfolded before state liquor commissioners. After litigating the issue, the parties came to an agreement that restores the liquor license and results in most charges being dropped. Bar owners will pay a $25,000 fine, and have agreed to set several voluntary restrictions on the business, as part of the settlement.

Steve Bannon's trial in border wall fundraising case set for December, after his ongoing prison term
While Steve Bannon serves a four-month federal prison term, the conservative strategist now has a December date for a different trial in New York, where he’s charged with scheming to con donors who gave money to build a border wall with Mexico. With Bannon excused from court because of his incarceration, a judge Tuesday scheduled jury selection to start Dec. 9 in the “We Build the Wall” case. The trial had been expected as soon as September but was postponed because Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, is in a federal penitentiary in Connecticut. Bannon is behind bars because he was convicted of defying a congressional subpoena related to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He’s due to be released in late October. The judge in the New York case, April Newbauer, said she wanted to allow enough time for Bannon to meet with his lawyers and review trial exhibits and things she described as “difficult to go over during counsel visits in prison.”
Watch 20 Minutes Of Jandek’s Concert In A Cave
The legendary Houston outsider artist Jandek, proprietor of the one and only Corwood Industries, put on a concert in a perfectly unconventional setting last weekend. Saturday at the Widow Jane Mine in Rosendale, NY, he performed in a cave. Backed by guitarist Sheila Smith, bassist Janet Wygal, and drummer Toby Goodshank, the formerly ultra mysterious (and still somewhat mysterious) Sterling Smith brought to life the sort of abstract, avant-garde weirdness that made him cult-famous. Below, watch 20 minutes of footage from the gig by videographer Eric Hardiman of Albany Sonic Arts. I’ve also included the Jandek On Corwood documentary for those who want to take a crash course in all things Jandek, as well as a gallery posted to Instagram by photographer Chris Bruno.
