(w/ Noyda & Shirin @ Galapagos, Brooklyn)
( A Cheerful Attitude, Brooklyn)
Taking the Red-Eye to NYC was by far thew most ridiculous idea ever! No sleeping will be made when you are in the middle seat between drunken strangers. Might have been fun if I were drunk too but it is not in the stars for me to come off my illustrious wagon just now. I did manage to take a nap for about 2 hours in the afternoon. With everyone else all bright eyed and bushy tailed, I was just along for the ride. There was promise of chicken and waffles served with Korean Porn at Monkey Town. It sounds like an interesting combo but we were late and missed it. We did however make a secret back room showing of some visual arts not offered in my present residence that is Po-Dunk, USA.
I crave the City life more and more as Hip Hop DJ were mid-spin in a club called Galapagos in Brooklyn, I remember the reasons why. Where else will one see FABULOUS men dirty dancing amongst spiked punks and homies and yuppie suits? One big happy family! I loved it all even in my sleepless stupor. I wish I could pull off moving here. I must make more effort to come often.
Put-zing around Manhattan is like being home in SF. All the movies I have ever seen depict NYC as some horrific place rife with gangs and serious attitude. I have found nothing resembling any of this pretentious drivel. It has improved I am told however nothing so bad changes over night. People are super friendly and so my suspicion is that media powers that be inject us with our daily dose of fear to keep is in our homes, ever consuming. I feel like I just cracked a thunder egg full of secrets! I just dine at local restaurants and meet interesting people and keep the vibe going fearing someday I may run away to New York and stay forever! Alas, I am rather aged and the night life would get the best of me and I could not afford it anyway! A job trade however??? Now that’s an idea?/? Just a short time might be the fix I need. It is all piroshki in the sky anyway.
