It really is the bitchenest city out there, isn't it? Love love love it when spring opens the door to walking from one side of town to the other as much as your legs can stand it.
So just a few of the things i've done round nyc the last few days & nights:
Lunch at lazzara's with jessica, gave her a 'factory girl' music mix i'm pretty proud of - had been way too long since i'd seen her, and that pizza is nigh supernatural.
Sherin shot j.p. and me in an audition video at my place. Fun working on it - thanks so much for the help guys!
Afterwards, we went to see quantum eye, a mentalism/magic show at that was pretty good, then went out for a pint in flatiron.
Last night saw the new mira nair film the namesake with beth at the paris. Really good. Sentimental, in that jhumpa lahiri way, but beautiful, compelling and authentically moving. Then we met abner at guantanamera, a cuban bar on 8th ave. that is exquisitely cheesy, just in time to catch the end of the band's set.
Abner brought along the belated christmas present he and beth got for me - the solti/vienna recording of wagner's ring cycle on vinyl! They nabbed it from a street vendor in the village, so i assumed it would be at least a little scratched up, but it is in amazing, almost immaculate condition and sounds unbelievably good. Alright, alright, i know it makes me a complete and utter geek to be so excited about this, but, well, there it is. Way cool present. And while we're on it, congrats to beth and abner on taking the live-together plunge!
And throughout all of this of course, i've been rehearsing 'trailers/suburban peepshow' opening at the red room on thursday. Fun group o' peeps; hope to see you there.
Ok, just heard this thing on ESPN that i have to share: "L.A. hasn't seen a threepeat since 2002, when the lakers won three consecutive championships... in a row!" Yup. That's right folks, these are professional journalists.
Happy april fools, and happy baseball opening day!

Hey, give the guy a break. He probably awoke at 6:00 a.m. in the morning to write that.
yes, you are a bit of a dork, but WOW that IS an amazing present! well, played, beth and abner!
part of me feels bad for sports journalists (and announcers, etc.) because they have to be good at coming up with completely inane things to say/write and make it seem truly important and interesting... but then a quote like that makes me think maybe they just couldn't cut it in the real news. or english class. :)
but hey, i'm all for the start of baseball season. whoo!
Yeah, and even weirder was that this wasn't a live anchor sitch, it was a pre-produced featurette. Complete with dramatic pause...
