Oh Internets, I feel like we have grown apart over the past month. Sure you still deliver email & twitter updates, but remember the fun times? Back when you had funny videos and memes. Now I get all of that from television. And half of what is on television isn’t even real! No, reality happens in museums.
Perhaps this longing has to due with the fact that I must travel to get to you. Perhaps it is because while the iPhone can do many things, it can not play videos from Facebook. I don’t even download all the great music that you have anymore. It’s a sad state of things I say.
It’s January. That means Vampire Weekend is playing shows. I hit the second of three shows. The first night was at United Palace. I went to the more intimate show at Webster Hall. I, of course got there super early. I even mucked about for a good long time in order not to be there super early, but alas it’s just how I roll. I got my spot. I’m not sure why, but I really like to watch shows from about 5 people back on the right side. I ended up standing next to a girl with a ridiculously large handbag for 90% of the show. The encore brought a drunk chick who thought it would be awesome for her to rub her butt on me. Yeah…not so much.
Overall the show was a lot of fun. Not as much fun as last years’ but close. The kids from the L Magazine were there and apparently standing a few people behind me. They took video.
This evening I got together with dome of the cool kids from my former place of employment. we caught up on all that is new in 2010 including one of the kids being on SNL. Sure it was only one skit and you could only see part of his face, but it was SNL for christsakes!
After multiple adult beverages at HiFi-a bar in the East Village that the last time I entered I felt too unhip to stay-Baby Michael, She Who Will Mot Facebook and I headed out to get a slice. As you may know there is forever an argument on who has the best pizza in NYC. Well, add another one to the lust because one slice actually filled me up. In fact, I couldn’t even finish it, which gets mad props in my book. We went to Artichoke on 14th street between 1st and 2nd Ave. It’s a bit pricey, but well worth it. I got the namesake slice and was not only pleased, but impressed by the amount of food.
Oh wonderous world of the 21st century. There are so many things that I get to do now that just wasn’t possible last year or the year before. For one I can now update my blog directly from my WordPress application. Thank you world. Perhaps there will be more updates now. Maybe even photos taken on the street. The doors are wide open.
