Met Gino at the Persphone’s Bees show at Mercury. Drank 2 beers. Went over to CBGB after that to see this indie/emo boy band, drank 2 beers. Then over to Bowery Ballroom to hang out with Nick, who’d just finished playing a show. The place was sold out, so they wouldn’t let us in. We took some photocopied passes someone had tried to make and stick them to our shirts with gum. We got caught and the bouncer kept asking Nick why he was trying to play him like that. Went to this “secret bar” in some alley and had 2 beers. Then back to Williamsburg to my favorite bar, Southside Lounge. It was pretty smoky, and I didn’t know the bartenders. When I was leaving I saw 2 cops walking in, so I assume they were about to get a big ticket for smoking inside. I was pretty tired today. Had lunch with Mike, Dan, and Jeff at Pies and Thighs, then went to the library.
