A tipster alumnus points out this article in the Village Voice from last week in which local writers name their favorite writer-y watering holes. The Sabotage Cafe author Joshua Furst selected Columbia standby 1020, and explained: “Not that many bars in the city where you can talk about Foucault for two hours.”
Of course, while actual conversation at 1020 is less Foucault and more fou-cking, Bwog offers accolades to the bar for making the cut.

@ugh 1020 sucks.
@ugh Foucault sucks.
@Inspired By Mr. Patterson’s piece at Kilmer?
“The bedroom, like Jean Baudrillard, is depressing
And when we Foucault, there’s a lot of confusion.
She often will still be rephrasing the question
By the time I have already reached my conclusion.”
@Ugh “less Foucault and more fou-cking”
That’s just awful.
@Fouc you! BEST PUN EVER, BWOG. NOW I WANT ONE EACH FOR DERRIDA, HEGEL, JUNG. NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT KANT.

@wirc A friend’s parent went to a Foucault lecture at NYU in the early 1980s, and was dismayed to find him late that morning. He apparently staggered in hungover and still dressed for the leather bar he had been at the previous night… so yes he probably would have encouraged fou-cking after thoroughly pretentious discussion – though never as a consequence of it.
@234232 Foucault and Fou-cking need not be mutually exclusive.
