Rain Rain Rain

In NYC, it has rained 13 out of 17 days this month. At this point, I'm doubting the existence of summer, and possibly even New York. I imagine that I am somewhere in London, delusionally believing in a place called America, where there is free speech and a Starbucks on every corner, and my poor imagination is too crippled to come up with something as exciting as Starbucks delivery service.

The idea of this fantasy world in my head and lack of creativity is further proved by the fact that the radio only plays 10 songs a day, even though I know that other songs exist, and somehow I manage to survive for over a month at a time without grocery shopping. My stock of mac and cheese, pizza rolls, pop tarts and cheerios seem to magically replenish.

The only proof I have that I'm not crazy? My suspicion of my own craziness. After all, the insane can't see their insanity, can they?

But if scientists prove that crazy people know it, I'm done for.

Remember?

Do you remember the absolutely beautiful elephant shirt that I said a million years ago that I was going to buy? Well, guess what I did today? I bought it!!!! I'm so excited!

Anyone Interested?

So on Sunday, Ft. Tryon Park is having a Medieval Festival from 11:30 AM - 6:00 PM. Anyone want to go? If you are, more details can be found here. Enjoy!

Perks of Being a New Yorker

One of the greatest things about living in New York is the live music scene. Any night of the week, you can see an abundance of amazing local bands for a few dollars (perfect for those of us on a budget that doesn't allow for hundreds to spend on concert tickets). Here are a few pictures of some awesome bands at Fontana's this past Thursday.

Old Mill

I was introduced to Old Mill by a good friend, and they are very talented. If you're going to be in the NYC area, or just want to look them up on myspace, I would highly recommend it.

The Vanguard

The guys from The Vanguard wore the tightest pants ever (I mean, we're talking tighter than the Butcher's red pants from The Academy Is...) but they were still pretty good. Kind of reminded me of the Killers...

Anyway, if you're ever looking for some incredible live music in the city, check out this site. And for free shows in the city, check out this site. Enjoy!
