I'm not the first to make this observation, but I prefer the immediacy of the homespun, technically unadept streams of the The Early Quarantine to the mediated experiences provided by the slicker ones we've been seeing lately with higher production values.  No danger of that in these La MaMa shows, assembling experimentalist dancers, performers, actors, media artists, musicians, and what have you from all over.  Always interesting and enjoyable.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Ladies and gentlemen, from New Orleans, one of the all-time greats, the Sazerac:  mix 1 teaspoon of sugar and 4 dashes of Peychaud's bitters, with a few drops of water, in the bottom of a cocktail shaker, until the sugar is dissolved.  Rinse a VERY chilled Old Fashioned glass with Absinthe.  Strain the cocktail into the rinsed (VERY chilled) glass.  Garnish with a lemon twist.
