Haa, my friend's band is playing at Union Pool tonight, will be going, meat market or no. Been there just once before, it was a slow night and it wasn't a bad place to be just because the back courtyard thing is enormous so you could basically avoid everybody. I'm sure if I was trying to see a band or dance it woulda been a different scene.

Heard some Phil Collins the other night, and then earlier I was checking out the Facebook page of a place I'm going tonight, and saw then posing with the Invisible Touch LP
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 23:03 (eleven years ago)
Last then = them, sorry
dunno about downtown brooklyn specifically but i knew plenty of 20-30-somethings when i lived in nyc that were going through a phil/genesis phase

It's weird when you see mid-80s Phil walking around, it's like you're just seeing the memory of his face

Melville house recently put out a previously untranslated Alejo Carpentier book Reasons of State, about a horrible dictator who's sad because (among other things) no one wants to hang out with him anymore. I thought it was a worthwhile read but this article is about as good.

Had a fantastic meal at Iris Cafe Store #9 in Bk Heights tonight. Apparently they've had it converted to a full restaurant for about a year.

Where can anyone live in Brooklyn anymore? I'm a lawyer goddamnit, and I'm drunk, and let's face it, queens sucks. But I went to the stupid Brooklyn Museum today and I saw David Byrne there, and I ate at a place called Gladys, and it was good, but Trulia says it costs $8 million dollars a second to live near Gladys. How is that possible, I'm a lawyer damnit, who can afford to live there if not me?

bed stuy, crown heights, prospect lefferts, flatbush, kensington, midwood.
I don't really know though because I moved to Queens which is totally awesome and pay way less than everybody I know in brooklyn for a way bigger space.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 28 February 2016 05:50 (ten years ago)
lmao bed stuy
my gf lives in a decent neighborhood in bensonhurst and the rent isn't terrible there, esp for a lawyer who works in manhattan
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 February 2016 05:56 (ten years ago)
not downtown brooklyn tho
― k3vin k., Sunday, 28 February 2016 05:57 (ten years ago)
I still see relatively affordable prices in bed stuy.

i love u ny but i will admit that im glad to not have to get stressed out about those rents anymore

You can live in Bensonhurst okay but you won't be anywhere near the things that make you want to live in Brooklyn.

in my case there aren't any left, so i should consider it
i spend essentially an hour commuting each way for what's sposed to be a 'short' commute. ALL the trains suck shit.

Actually Bill maybe you would like it. If you live on the N, it's a pain in the ass unless you work within walking distance of a Manhattan stop but it's a fast train, powers express through almost all of Brooklyn. Bensonhurst is really nice and quiet and suburban or like Jackson Hgts or something.
