labrujahThe shorthand of the weekend (mostly for my own purposes -- I can never remember what I did unless I write it down.)
-Went to Creep Show at the Freak Show at Coney (which was extremely funny) in a driving rain. Also, those Siamese twin doctors are cute. M. & I scored a huge bag of costumes too. Seeing a big cardboard box that says "$1" full of costumes is the best thing ever. I got an amazing ninja mask where you can see out but nobody can see in. If I were brave/insane, I would wear it every day on the subway.
-Ben came into town in the middle of the night and forgot to call me until he arrived! I had no idea he was on his way, so when he did call at 6 am or so from a payphone, I leaped out of bed and shut the phone off, going "No no no" and went right back to sleep for 5 more hours. He had walked over the Williamsburg Bridge and threw stones at Emily's window and tried to climb in (but we have bars up.) So he sat in a laundromat and looked at email until we woke up. He's gone again already, gathering up his belongings and truck which are scattered in the Northeast.
-We went to the Volksboutique opening which was great. It reminded me of Joseph Cornell and the Royal Tenenbaums and Allan Gurganis's (sp?) short story At the Office. I was very impressed with the scope and dedication of the project. Artists have to be somewhat obsessive to get anything done, I think.
-Ate Ethiopian food, attended Rubulad, danced and saw Phat Mandee again, saw a dude puking all over his pinstriped suit while sitting on a couch. Charming.
-Attended the Dumbo Arts Festival, where we discovered that the Impossible Tea Party had sunk that afternoon, after several accidental dips in the river.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jenslinky got an electric chaircut from our friend Nelson -- although she might not be his friend anymore. She said shorter all over, and he really delivered. I honestly think it looks good, but I understand post-haircut traumatic shock, which she was suffering from.
Also, fucking ABC Carpet & Home Outlet?! It's incredible. I nearly walked out with like four chandeliers (on sale). And, they had this gorgeous Chinese wedding bed which is like a room you go into, or a big cabinet with a shelf you sleep on. All red and carved with windows. Also on sale. I want it so bad, although it costs about half what I earn yearly. So bad. I am going back for a chandelier at some point, and to ogle it. I kind of want to build one. If only I could carve wood. What good is college if they don't teach you valuable skills like that?
Also, a lady photographed me for a feature on coats and boots for the NY Post Sunday Trends section. She's all "Who made your bag? Marc Jacobs?" And I'm all "Um, no. It cost $30."
So keep an eye out for me in the newspaper! (vintage red coat, black boots.)
-Later Sunday, another trip to the jazz club. Totally awesome, like a family gathering if your family were all amazing jazz musicians. One drummer was crazy and kept sticking out his tongue and drumming on the mantel and told us to "tell the rest of downtown about uptown!" So consider yourselves told.
This morning: a trip to Tom's Diner for waffles & eggs and perfect bacon. I could eat that for breakfast every single day. Also the waiter tried to give me a cookie and I said no and he made a sad face.
