mia OR why i love ny summers pt iv
I’ve been MIA in internet land. I’ve managed to, or course, keep the twittering going but the blogs, facebook, flickr and google reader have all sort of taken a back seat while I engaged in a few summer festivities. Since its been so long I thought I’d give a brief run-down of the highlights of the past week or so.
First off, Miss Boom came to town. We filled the past ten days with stoop sitting, brunching and lunching, a few nights on the town, getting to know new people, dressing similarly (by accident of course) and lots of vegging out (post 4th of July). It was the first time we’d actually hung out in depth and it was an absolutely amazing time. With a little bit of luck we’ll have her up here in a few months permanently.
Next, I gave Vespa driving a go, with hilarious and painful results. Needless to say, I took it down fairly quickly.
I spent a day getting to know my new neighbor Megan a little better which was one of my favorite lazy brooklyn days this summer. We traveled from bed-stuy to brooklyn heights and back. She’s the type of person that brightens any room.
Finally, the bk and blazey bbq stoop party which was all the fun you’d ever want and more. Boom and I posted up in our previous stoop spot where we spent most of the party. I got to talk to a bunch of people I’d seen around the way but never gotten to a chance to really engage. AND as an added bonus there was a little reunion with two of my oldest New York friends from college (AKA part of the “william street dorm crew). The lovely Whitney and JD (dizzal or dilla to those who know him), who I only see once every four or five months but love like a brother nonetheless (him and his adorable girlfriend, Krystal, might be hosting a little post party mh birthday bbq at their place in willy-b saturday which of course everyone is invited to).
viva la summer.
