Some december night, when everything was frozen, my friend, in a way that only she could, convinced me to wander out to the Bell House. Slipping in my inappropriate shoes, through the nowhere that is Gowanus, we arrived to find a surprisingly warm bar that would become our winter hideaway.
I’d never heard of Chris Garneau, [...]

In Music, film, neuva york on 12 November 2008 with 298 comments

I stopped over to check out the IFC/Rooftop Films Short Annimated Film Showcase at the Chelsea Market on Monday, and while I lament missing the summer series (rooftops+free beer=life can’t be much sweeter) I’m glad I finally got turned on to the event.
The evening started with Ivana XL (we can add her to the category [...]

I’m excited to see Esperanza Spalding at Highline this week.

retro soul summer

In Music on 12 August 2008 with 3 comments

When LizBurr made her muxtape this morning I thought, “Why haven’t I made a themed mixtape” outside of my usual run of the mill these-are-summers-songs-I’m-jamming-to. (Which I made sans links almost exactly a year ago.)

I was staying with my friend in Bushwick at the time (during my two months of couch surfing) and had taken the day off. Instead of working I’d spent the [...]
