Oh, the irony: spent Christmas with a bunch of Jews.
Christmas Eve Part Deux →
Thank you for putting up with my evolving art project which might be termed photographical lonerism. A blog is great because you can click on last year and see I was the pretty much the same…
SiP Christmas Party →
The SiP Lounge Christmas party was Saturday night during the blizzard. Snowstorm? (This is where I DJ most Thursdays.) The following happened during the party:
An indoor snowball fight —…
Snow Pictures →
Here’s a gallery of some photos I took following the blizzard of December 19th. I activated NextGen gallery for Wordpress and will be using it for large collections of photos. The PicLens feature…
Train Kept A Rollin’ →
A lot more snow fell on the city than expected. I expect I will have snow pix eventually but my camera fails in sub temperatures. Bleh.
Crack Door →
I got sucker-punched on 106th Street some years back. Nothing major until now. Random violence in your neighborhood makes you wonder who your friends are. This is the sort of thing that makes…
16 Bean Soup →
I’ve become a big fan of 16 Bean Soup. This shows the beans after soaking. It looks less appealing after it’s cooked because the small legumes mostly dissolve and make a baby food colored broth…
Gazebo Broadway Stylee →
Gazebo, Zamboni, Merovingian. These are a few of my favorite words.
The One-Legged Cat →
Sometimes I’m really dumb but I didn’t get this joke at first. It’s the punchline following Stephen’s declaration that they’ve hit a “one-hat town.” When I first saw it, I thought, “… but…
Blue Christmas Tree →
Smith and 9th Street →
One of the spookier stops on the F train, the last few photo posts were all taken in the area when I went to the Bell House to see That Petrol Emotion.
Peeling Paint →
It’s not a bridge falling apart or a yard of weeds.
Brooklyn Shadows →
Night photography rules!
Christmas in Zoom →
These were taken 20 seconds apart and yet it’s pretty hard to find one person in both shots. I can.
Let’s Stay Open for Business →
I was pretty disappointed in this month’s cover story in Harper’s called “Final Edition.” We have pages of anecdotes about San Francisco newspaper history and then a conclusion that…
A Double Folger's With Jameson's and Whipped Cream
One of my favorite nights at the Ding Dong Lounge ever was when Terry Brock sang the Folger’s coffee jingle after singing some Rolling Stones song. “The best part of waking up is Folger’s in your cup.” Terry is one of the bonafide Folger’s jingle men. I’m old enough to remember when Mrs. Olson said, “It’s the richest kind” after a housewife...
Free Concerts in Morningside Heights →
‘Tis the season! I just got back from a concert by TACTUS at the Manhattan School of Music at Broadway and 122nd. That’s the new music group. It’s the end of the semester and MSM is putting on a…
Five Star Movies on DVD →
When I watch a string of really good movies in a row, sometimes I have to catch my breath. In no order, here are a few I rewatched and a couple new ones.
Gandhi
Ben Kingsley really is…
Spider Ferns →
Why do these plants produce flowers when they have their whole fern plop it over there schtick? The answer is probably on wikipedia.
WatchI was just in some b roll and I loved it.
Cactus and Pumpkin →
And the reason is: taller is better on the internet.
Travel Agent →
Windows are the window to the playground usually but sometimes they show inferno.
