Two nights in New York

From Penn Station to Empire State, originally uploaded by Southcoasting.

Only spent two nights in NYC, but they were pretty busy and lots of fun.

Saw lots of art with K in the galleries in West Chelsea. Got caught in a thunderstorm. Went shopping for shoes, successfully (thanks K). Bought a Viva Voce CD. Ate well (beef wraps, thai noodles, french breakfasts) and drank better. Took a train, took a cab, took the subway. I did it all, and still made it to the plane on time.

Saturday night I went out to Brooklyn and met Will from the magnifiscent Thunderegg, Red Squirrel, a bundle of their friends (including the impressively attired two John O'Connors) and friends of their friends. After a moderate and restrained consumption of beers, we went out to see the excellent Cyd Glore's New Masterpiece at Hank's on Atlantic Avenue (surprisingly intimate and local).

In memory of a wonderful evening:

Cyd Glore's New Masterpiece - Upon Reaching

Cyd Glore's New Masterpiece - Dig on Sunshine

Thunderegg - The American Standard Is Slipping (And It's All Your Fault)

Thunderegg - Hall Pass

Thunderegg are currently in the studio recording their next album!
