Around Town

Resurrection?

I think I watched that dancing video twenty times already. It makes me insanely happy and someday I would like to meet Matt for drinks and hear his travel stories. There is something about his endeavor so lacking in pretension that makes me believe in the universal truth of humanity.

Unlike the event I attended tonight...

Don't get me wrong, a big part of me was really excited to spend an evening among "fancy people" drinking free cocktails laced with elder flower liquor and admiring some pretty amusing fashion and art with my friend Monica.

I mean, it's not everyday some chick named Peaches (famous for no reason as far as i can tell), Kelly Osborne, and some "it" model - who purposely changed her name to Agyness Deyn - hangs out with the likes of me. But it was sort of like watching crazy starving exotic animals at the zoo.

Thankfully, my faith in the world was partially restored at the end of the evening by the fabulous view that accompanied my $21 dollar cosmopolitan at The Rainbow Room.

Plug For Peverly

My old co-worker and friend Matt Peverly is playing his first gig with a band this coming Thursday. If you are free, go check him out at Arlene's Grocery.

I mean, any guy that makes a hilarious retarded ad like this is going play a good show!

Joshua Allen Harris

My friend Michelle sent me this link to a video interview by New York Magazine with the artist Joshua Allen Harris. His inflatable art is incredibly playful and inventive and it made me happy even seeing it on video. I can only imagine how excited I would be to walk past one on my everyday travels. (It doesn't hurt that he is adorable too!)

In case you are too lazy to click and watch the interview (cough cough), you can watch this video.
