This sign was in front of a church near my apartment
It's kinda confusing to me.
Maybe they mean open for business and open-minded...
What do you think?

If you live in NYC you know who John Roland is...
Everybody's favorite compensated spokesperson.
One of the creepiest and best subway ads ever.

I found it both refreshing and nostalgic to see people still rocking
the monogrammed LL Bean backpack. I had mine for about 15 years

Sorry

So the internet that I have been borrowing from my kind
neighbor (whomever that might be) no longer seems to be
borrowable. I'm working on getting a new connection and
apologize for not being as diligent about posting as I would like.
Stay tuned and take a look at some of the old pics in the meantime

We got a surprise bonus at our gallery outing in Chelsea the other day.
When we walked out of one of the galleries , we came across a group
of guys who were practicing A Cappella. Apparently we stumbled upon
a new NBC American Idol style reality show about A Cappella groups.
There were several groups practicing on the street waiting to be called in.
Wat a fucking goldmine!! I can't wait for this show to actually start.

I went to some galleries in Chelsea today with some friends.
I got a kick out of this show called "A New Beginning" by Will Ryman.
Apparently it's supposed to be a rat's eye view of an NYC Rose Garden

NYC Public Advocate candidate debate at Hunter College.
Only 3 of the 5 main candidates were there, and yes,
it was as riveting as they they make it seem.
They were all really excited about the crowd of 22 who showed up.

Lawrence - Labor day 09

So, I just went to visit katie and her family in Lawrence, KS.
The last 5 posts were pics from that trip. Unfortunately, I
didn't take enough pics of the town and surrounding area which
happened to be both quaint and beautiful. Next time, I'll be
sure to take some of the scenery. For now, enjoy what I posted

I liked the idea of taking a picture of John Brown while being in Kansas

#167

WOW!!! ... 2.5 hours for 2 bits
That doesn't even really make sense to me

#166

This sign was kinda sad.
Even though the reminder is right on

#165

I went to my first Big 12 football game. Over 55,000 people. It was a
gorgeous day, on a beautiful campus with great company and great seats.
And Kansas ended up kicking butt. Go Jayhaws!!

#164

I really like this sign at the public library in Lawrence, KS
It's very welcoming, inclusive and heartwarming

Went out to dinner for my parent's anniversary. It's always fun
for the family to get together. And luckily, it was a gorgeous night.
I like the sign on the light pole. I feel like it's talking to the moon.
Anyway. Happy Anniversary Yeffie and Maj. Here's to many more

They have a special promotion at the new Whole Foods that opened
up near my apartment. Free weekend pedicab rides home with your
purchase. Luckily for this happy customer, it was a Sunday afternoon.

This was one of my favorite people at Spike Lee's Michael Jackson
Birthday Celebration in Prospect Park. He was holding a framed
picture of he and MJ from a long time ago, and was so enthusiastic
about it. He seemed to really be enjoying the attention & the party.

This makes me love pickles even more.
I like half sour or new. What's your favorite kind?

At least these people were kind enough to tell us what's wrong.
Remember to keep your distance, because those fuckers can jump.

My brother and I were sitting on a bench in
Central Park when I spotted this...
A fairly large bee was climbing a tree while carrying a cicada.

It was fluttering its wings to get high enough up the tree just to more
easily glide off and start its flight pattern, while still carrying the cicada.
And even though I'm not quite sure what the bee was going to do with
the cicada, it was amazing, and unlike anything i've ever seen

Gotta love the creativity. It looks so refreshing.
I only wish some people were playing in it.
(ps: I hate that crepe place, there was cardboard in my salad)

For 45 years the Jazzmobile has been providing free Jazz in NYC.
Once a year it comes to my street, Duke Ellington Blvd.
They close off the street and oodles of people stroll on in with their
families, lawn chairs, food and drinks. This year the bandleader was
Duke Ellington's grandson. It was a gorgeous night with a lot of happy
people and some great jazz. (http://www.jazzmobile.org)

Last Tuesday night, there was a huge storm (that only
lasted about 20 min) that devistated the northmost third of
Central Park, and certain parts of Riverside Park.

I walked around and took a bunch of pictures, and this is what I saw.
Huge, old trees have been uprooted. Branches are everywhere.

There a tons of clean up crews all over the park
Trying to make sense of what happened.

And in some weird way, even though the park is forever changed,
Seeing the roots exposed was still really beautiful.
It helps you understand the intricacy of trees and how amazing they are.

This "ear pick" is about 7 inches long with a funny little
figure on top and a small wooden scoop on the bottom.
Whatever it's for, it's kinda scary and intimidating

My dad, brother and I went to the Hunterdon County 4H and Agricultural
Fair yesterday. It was very "central jersey" and actually, a lot of fun.
This was one of my favorite shots, its where goat's milk comes from.
