Friday I went to one of the oldest bars in NYC- McSorleys. The place has never been dusted. Above the rough wooden bar hangs a neglected furry light fixture. Hey wait...are those wishbones hanging from there? Yes. The story goes that before men went off to war, they would come in for a meal and hang their turkey bone one the chandelier. When they returned home from service they would take it down. The light was full of them. How sad...Saturday morning at Union Square. Eating a peach on a bench when The Amazing Race is going on before my eyes. The lady a couple benches over was one of their check-points. P.S.- for those of you who didn't know...Erin and sent in a try-out tape and application for the show. No call backs.
Saturday afternoon on my way to see Vampire Weekend @ the East River Amphitheater, I stop in Chinatown to grab a Vita Chrysanthemum Tea juice box. I had heard it was the best (It was okay, but maybe not THE best). Vamp W: I loved it, loved it, loved it. And so did everyone in the GAP commercial down by the stage. I say this b/c they were all dancing wildly at three in the afternoon, w/ no drinks, and were all totally lovely. A butterball in the audience basted himself in the sun w/ his own sweat, daring to further his "I fell asleep in the sun" fried skin stretched tightly across his hard Purdue Belly.. Picnics in the grass. Kids running up and down the amphitheater stairs. Woah...Is that John Mcenroe? No, but almost. Ben, from your description I'd say this fellow nabbed your pale yellow shorts. While I'm sure he had love for his absent racket, he showed much love and respect for his skateboard, leaving it outside the porta-potty by its lonesome during a stop.
Post Vamp W Bloody Mary---Killer! All-American Will eats a hot dog, later thumb restles a painted plaster italian chef statue, and does a cartwheel in front of a moving taxi. We ask bouncers in front of enormous wooden doors which Wizard of Oz characters we are. The big ol' bouncer claims he is OZ. I bust out push ups in an empty club and crip walk in front of American Apparel as "man on bench" shouts, "Snoop Doggy Dog!" Awesome bubble-blowin' kids at Misshapes.
Chandler and I make plans for Bread Stuy (in Bed-Stuy). I am tuning out the comment, "Why do women like bread so much." Anyways...very exciting, but we just haven't made it yet. And that about wraps it up and catches you up, so keep yer heads up.
P.S. A haircut, I beg of you!! Please Anna, I need your help.
Lastly: 2 Fams Unite. Yeah, Meg! Yeah, Jas! (w/ a long "a" of course).

Gecco:
You did say, "Haircut" didn't you?
Need one? Well, as you may recall, I am a bit of an enigma when it comes to coiffure and would gladly make the 3-hour trip to trim your bangs. Why, I might even throw in an eyebrow (one never knows when that is going to happen)!
Wile E
I can't believe you saw part of the Amazing Race being made! Is it a sign? Do you feel closure?
p.s. This is Slip
