like the proverbial bee
i had a busy, busy, busy week this week. twice this week i got suckered into going to things that i agreed to do while i was druink. in the end, they were both way more enjoyable than they had any right being, so it's all good. the first thing was going to see my coworkers play in the company team's playoffs. i took some pictures while i was there. i like the industrial look the lighting gave the pictures
more here.
the other thing i went to was my friend brom's debut with a band he joined, the trembling turncoats. they played at kenny's castaways, which apparenly has all kinds of crazy music history. i was talking to the bouncer, who said that the difference between kenny's castaways and cbgb's is that cbgb's had a better PR person. anywho, the band was supergood. i really dug 'em.

56 hour party people
two of my favorite chicagoans, brian and ryan, came to nyc to celebrate ryan's ...29th birthday.
while they were here, we did all kinds of dumb shit, including but not limited to meeting up with some friends
and getting some dim sum in chinatown,
working our way north to perennial favorite NOLITA to go to rice to riches
'cause ryan wanted some rice pudding.
ryan loves rice pudding and wants to marry it.
we kept going north and ran into some kind of outsider art fair at the puck building
i took a picture of brian taking a picture of me taking a picture of brian taking a picture of me, taking a picture of brian...
and finally, we went to bamn! the automat restaurant on st mark's in the east village
everyone was excited about the automat, especially frank...
...but especially brian:
as evra, these pictures and more from my adventures with the chicago boys can be found on my flickr page.
