I picked up James outside his office at around 430 on friday. We took the train downtown and picked up Melanie outside her office and proceeded to Water Taxi Beach, an 18,000 sq. ft. plaza with 3 tons of sand outside of south street seaport. The deal was 50 cent shrimp, oysters, clams and $3 off all booze. (this deal continues 4-6pm thur-sunday for the rest of the summer, bitches)
We hooked it up. I fucking destroyed some oysters and mad clams. Peter joined and smartly picked up a surplus round 2 minutes before the deal ended. It was then that the clouds started to roll in for New York's nightly pour-down of Armageddon for the month of June. We rushed into the tent, squaring up with some hipsters and then the wind started to come on in. I predicted MJ's death to comfortably coincide with the coming Apocalypse while James helped batton down the hatches like a trooper.
The house music started and immediately began to offend, so we climbed to the top deck of the seaport to watch lightning bolts.
The night ended at Melanie's to drink wine, eat her good food and watch MJ classic video's until it was time to realize that the night was ending early.
The next day, Peter and Melanie came to see the last production of "The Brooklyn Play", which I've been working on with some friends for a while. There is a video that will be posted post-haste. I've recieved many good reviews and desires to watch the show. A few hours later, after another downpour and a sweet double rainbow (my blackberry don't save pics, dammit!!??!!), Nick showed up with his friend Lauren at a good bar with good music and an awfully small venue. They were sweet, and they included Nick and Lauren's supervisors band, who had a number of horns equal to the width of the venue and 1/26th the size of the crowd.
It was cool. I went home soon thereafter. What did you guys do next?

Went to beach saturday. Drove around in a boat. Played some put put. Did karaoke. Went to a totally awful philly meathead bar which ruined a good day. Next day, went to beach. Watched soccer game. Shot some pool. Came home and went to bed. It was a good weekend yes it were.
ReplyDeleteman it was a sweet weekend. after y'all left friday night melanie and i got a midnight dinner at a diner called...midnight express. go fig!
ReplyDelete"brooklyn play" really was a lot of fun, and of course i always enjoy coming out to greenpoint. before nick came into town melanie and i hung around her place, she napping and i cross wording. then we met up at pete's candy shop, for the show jonah mentioned, and after jonah split nick, melanie, and i went to a bar called lazy catfish to eat absolutely the greatest chicken tenders i've ever had. from there we went to a very weird party at a bar we walked this crazy route to- we drank 8 oz. colt 45 bottles that came in buckets of 5.
sunday we got high, went to the park, ate a lot. it was beautiful.
