Friday I went back and forth to the city three times. The first trip was to my interview for this catering company. I told them that I had no food experience whatsoever and that I had grilled cheese and tomato soup the previous night for dinner (they laughed, i didn’t, they said “are you serious?,” I was)–anyhow I can expect a call from them shortly. The second trip was meet up with once again New Yorker Karyn for dinner with her old boss. This is the same woman who paid me $40 to hang 5 pictures on her wall of her apartment. Anyhow we had our dinner at Sparks Steakhouse, which is the top steak joint in nyc apparently. I must say it was the best steak I have ever put in my mouth. While I was choking down my expensive steak, Sam arrived. The third trip was to go out for with the gang to the lower east side. Jen was go-go dancing for some band called Wierd Owl, their name was more entertaining than their music. Then we went to another bar and danced. A homosexual grabbed my ass and my girlfriend gave him the stink eye. We all came home and played music loudly at the apartment. Joining us were 4 people we have didn’t know at all, people Gino invited to stay in our apartment… meanwhile Gino is in Canada until Wednesday. One guy was ok. The other was annoying, as was this girl who caught on to our attitude towards her “you guys don’t like me,” she said.
Saturday we got up and went to the obligitory brunch. I had quiche. Then went to the Whitney and saw a very good exhibit. I am going to have to go back as I was tired and hung over and didn’t give it enough attention. Me and Sam got some pizza. We met Karyn, Sean, Matt Littlejohn, and Kelly at the bar where Greg works. It wasn’t too exciting so me and Sam went to Laila and got some discount beers. Around 1am we went to a party where you dress up as your favorite outlaw…”if fun is outlawed, only outlaws will have fun.” Most people were dressed as revolutionaries with Paul Revere hats and such, an older man was completely naked. I wore my classic “Wanted” t-shirt. We arrived in time to see Gaijin-A-Go-Go (Japanese Go-Go from Brooklyn), they were fun to watch. Went home and played dominoes.
Sunday, brunch again. Biscuits and gravy. Bought a slide projector off of craigslist. Little did I know that the slide tray would be 3/4 full of the best slides anyone could ever ask for. A mixture of urban youths with large snakes and snapshots from a camp for people with disabilities. A great buy. August, Sam, Jen, and Willow joined me for an evening of bad pizza followed by improv comedy at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater.
