In today's New York Times

In case you missed this in the paper this morning. A semi accurate piece. Not sure why he thinks Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson are " amusingly off base" given they performed many a time at the Knit, and Lou has come to my Seder more than most other artists.......

The Old Knit
Twenty years ago this month, doors opened at the Knitting Factory, a ramshackle performance space in a former Avon Products office on East Houston Street. It was a project born of bohemian idealism and perhaps a whiff of desperation: the club's founder, Michael Dorf, and some friends had been struggling to support an indie-rock band and record label when Mr. Dorf made his foray into the downtown music scene. Within weeks, the Knitting Factory became a hub of that scene, partly through the programming of musicians like the keyboardist Wayne Horvitz and the saxophonist John Zorn. Then came a steroidal expansion. Over the next decade, Mr. Dorf oversaw the development of a label (Knitting Factory Works), a festival (complete with corporate sponsors) and an ambitious new-media company (KnitMedia, Inc.) He also moved the club into a larger physical complex, at 74 Leonard Street in TriBeCa. With growth came various problems, including significant debt and the erosion of goodwill toward him among musicians. In 2002, Mr. Dorf stepped down as the president of KnitMedia, and now he as little affiliation with the Knitting Factory clubs on Leonard Street and in Los Angeles. So to Celebrate the anniversary of what he fondly calls the 'the Old Knit", Mr. Dorf has enlisted a handful of obliging artists--including Mr. Zorn, the guitarist Marc Ribot, the clarinetist Don Byron and the trio Medeski Martin & Wood--for a concert at Town Hall. Of course the setting is amusingly off base, and some performers, like Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson, above, come with only tangential ties to the Knitting Factory's salad days. At least in one sense, thought, the concert is true to the original spirit of an avant-garde community: all ticket proceeds will benefit the Stone, a bare-bones East Village performance space owned by Mr. Zorn.
