WHERE WAS I? As usual, it's somewhere in New York City. Anyone can play; leave your guesses in the comments using a distinct moniker so we can tell you apart from everyone else. Enjoy!

Were you at the aquarium?

David Marc Fischer said...

No, Deborah, but I think that's a very interesting guess!

Deborah said...

Thanks. It's dark, like the aquarium, and he kind of looks like Poseidon.

Were you outside?

David Marc Fischer said...

No, I wasn't outside, Deborah.

Were you in a cave?

David Marc Fischer said...

LOL, Debbie. For once I wasn't in a cave.

Manhattan?

David Marc Fischer said...

Yes, Debbie, I was in Manhattan.

David said...

Were you at a club?

Deborah said...

Were you in a bar?

David Marc Fischer said...

David and Deborah, you're about equally warm and equally cool.

David said...

Well, that was really helpful.

Were you out drinking?

David Marc Fischer said...

Who do you think you are, David--my mother??

I wasn't out drinking.

And, now that I think of it, I think club is warmer than bar.

David said...

Were you someplace that a band called The Trolls perhaps performed?

David Marc Fischer said...

I don't know, but it's certainly possible, David.

Essex Street Alehouse at 179 Essex Street? According to TimeOut it's a "hobbit hole for beer geeks."

David Marc Fischer said...

No, Debbie, it's not the Essex Street Aleshouse nor any other hobbit hole for beer geeks.

were you at a church? was it downtown (below 14th st)?

David Marc Fischer said...

I wasn't at a church, Myra, but I was downtown.

Deborah said...

Is it a cafe or bakery?

David Marc Fischer said...

Neither, Deborah--and congrats on your anti-caption(s)!

Were you at a theater?

David Marc Fischer said...

You're about as warm as David, Debbie.

Were you at ABC No Rio?? Lower East side?

David Marc Fischer said...

That's a good guess, Ellen. But even though I've been to ABC No Rio (shivering through a concert on a heatless winter's night), I wasn't there on this occasion.

Lower East Side? Not exactly.

Note to the players: Try to pose one question at a time.

Deborah said...

The Back Fence?

David Marc Fischer said...

Deborah, between you and Ellen, I think you're on to something!

were you at a commercial establishment? you don't like it when we ask more than one question at a time?? :)

David Marc Fischer said...

I think it's fair to call it a commercial establishment--feel free to define what you mean, if you'd like.

The thing about asking two questions at once is that sometimes it puts me in a predicament. Like if the first question is a "bingo" but the second question would cancel it out. I want to avoid being in that situation.

p.s.122?

David Marc Fischer said...

Warm, Ellen, but too close to Stuyvesant Oval.

Anonymous said...

Is it a venue geared towards kids?

David Marc Fischer said...

Not especially, Ellen. Good question, though!

Anonymous said...

Is it a not-for-profit?

David Marc Fischer said...

Yes, Ellen, it is a non-profit. Do does that make it non-commercial?

Anonymous said...

Hmmm...well a non-profit must benefit the community, it usually exists for charitable or educational purposes; while a commercial enterprise is in the business of making a profit. So in this instance I would not be looking at clubs or bars, but perhaps performance spaces...

David Marc Fischer said...

Well, I just hope my answers have been okay!

David Marc Fischer said...

The pressure can be hard to bear, you know.

I was hoping for a 3rd dark & grainy photo.

Were you at Housingworks?

David Marc Fischer said...

Be careful what you hope for--I put up another photo!

Thanks for guessing, My. Much appreciated, though now you're too close to The Drawing Center.

(This is, I think, the first WWI to last over a week. I was on the verge of ending this particular challenge...but let's see if I can be found fast!)

Anonymous said...

Ahh! Well now it's totally obvious with that giveaway third photo!

Anonymous said...

La Mama?

Anonymous said...

Were you at a "cultural center"?

David Marc Fischer said...

I thought Debbie was being a mite sarcastic when she said the third photo was a giveaway that everything obvious...but then she went ahead and finally found me with the correct guess: La Mama!

And it's about time--congrats!!

Now if only she would supply us with more of her great photos....

David Marc Fischer said...

Oh--and it's a doorway in the stairwell of La Mama on E. 4th Street. I've tried to get some context for this from La Mama, but so far I've got nada from La Mama.

David Marc Fischer said...

And thanks, everyone, for playing--much appreciated, as always!

I was being more than "a mite sarcastic." I was being downright obnoxious! Totally guessed (well, with the help of everyone else's guesses.)
