Yes and yes.

I was going to plug my show tonight, but Lauren did an awesome job already.

Tonight - The Living Room - 9:30PM CD RELEASE SHOW!

lauren:

Buckle up, I’m about to massively endorse GREG THOMAS.

I met Greg a few months ago through mutual friends, life just hasn’t been the same since.

He’s a fantastic musician, and an even cooler guy.

His EP Atlantic/Pacific was released yesterday and is now available on iTunes and Bandcamp. I am super honored that he used a photo of mine for the cover.

Greg’s NYC CD Release Show is TONIGHT.

The Living Room (158 Ludlow @ Stanton) at 9:30pm - FREE

You should really come.

We will listen to music. We will make new friends. We will have drinks.

Okay, so see you tonight. Can’t wait!

Thirty days ago, I explained my ‘uniform’ challenge for the next month. The experiment ended yesterday - thank god, but proved to be very interesting.

More interestingly, today the NYT chronicled the experiment and founder (who’s a great friend & coworker) Heidi Hackemer.

Check it out.

COOPER HEWITT BKYARD

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:33:53 -0400

While not as ‘intimate’ (read: small) as the bklyn bkyard, the Cooper Hewitt’s garden is still amazing (read: largest private garden in Manhattan). And you can take advantage of it too - for free on Fridays this summer.

Explains Budget travel:

Sophistication is the name of the game at Cocktails@Cooper-Hewitt, a weekly party in the museum’s garden, the largest private green space in Manhattan. Jazz is the preferred soundtrack, views are of Central Park, and this summer’s parties are themed to the museum’s ongoing National Design Triennial—”Why Design Now?”—open during the event. Expect up to 800 visitors over the course of each night, ranging from Upper East Siders to downtown designers.2 E. 91st St.,cooperhewitt.org, Fridays, July 9–Aug. 13, hours are typically 6 p.m.-9 p.m.,admission $15 (for museum entry).

Really fun night.

SATORIAL CHALLENGE - MY NEW 'UNIFORM'

Fri, 25 Jun 2010 10:40:42 -0400

Over drinks, a fellow coworker struck up a conversation about her daily ‘uniform’ with friends a few weeks ago. Born of this conversation was the experiment Six Items or Less challenging people to wear only six items (or less) for a month.

Since Heidi, said coworker, closely works and sits near me, I happily agreed to participate, along with 90 others from around the globe. You can follow the experiment on the blog and will soon be able to read about it in Good Magazine and here.

How does this relate to the bkyard you ask - well, for the next month every picture will look like it was taken on the same day.

First day back from MN: work, joey walk, gym, dinner:

And then this happened, and we got some house guests. Impromptu Tuesday night party.

Stopped by the St. Paul Farmer’s Market on Saturday morning. Bagel, Latte and fresh beef jerky; welcome back to Minnesota.

If you’re in the area, definitely worth the stop.

AT 35,000 FEET - NO BKYARD IN SITE

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:08:21 -0400

The last four days were a success. We dug out 25-years worth of junk from the depths of the basement to the crevices of the attic; and then some.

Between trips from the basement to the garage, I was able to appreciate the open space, rich greenery and a few relaxing areas of my childhood house; while draining a few whiskey-7’s.

And despite my complaining, I had a blast (sore back and all).
