thanks guys. we'll figure this out. i will be in a bar mood i think forks, but thanks anyway!

right now i am dealing with the airbnb hosts of brooklyn, who are all dreadful and unreliable. third booked host cancelled on me this am. if anyone has a lead for a 1BR/studio i could rent/borrow from june 4-10 then i would be v grateful. erica: if i don't sort something out then i will come to boston. no joke.

boston is not a joking matter. (well i guess it kind of is, at least that's what i learnt from recent movies set there.)

irl too

wait shit i didn't catch the "not"

caek re the date of June 9, I am loosely planning to have a house party on that day. I don't know that it will be partic organized or like fancy or anything, but goddamnit I can't keep putting off having my friends over because it's not "perfect" "yet".

caek u better show up this time

mookie assuming i don't have to spend the week figuring out sofas to sleep on and getting i will show up this time. new york is a tumultuous town, i find!

i fly to el paso at 6am or something on june 10, so party on june 9 is either a terrible or amazing idea. keep me posted!

is there a particularly good iphone app for the MTA/subway? offline maps, route planner, etc. there seem to be hundreds of them.

Uh I don't know because a) I have an android, and b) I don't use a route planner, I just look at a map.

you sort of dont need one, theres maps all over. if you are going to get one id recommend something that shows you an actual map of the city with subways laid over it, since the official MTA map isnt really accurate aboveground

hmm yeah i guess. i just don't have brooklyn very clear in my head, so something offline would be good. and the subway is a struggle for the first few days every time.

all set with fancy new digs via airbnb crediting me with $$$ for screwing me around : )

Hopstop is probably the best route planner. You would need to be online but if you're doing the subway on the weekends an offline map isn't going to help much, you'd be screwed without knowing the weekend service changes.

For aboveground I just use google maps.

Hopstop is a little bit crazy, though. One of the main roads near my place has a bend in it, and Hopstop directions treat it like a turn. "Turn right onto Xxxx" is very confusing when you are already ON Xxxx.

i go to new york June 15/16/17ish

let's do some stuff

mta.info on yer phone's web browser has all line-specific information including track work, delays & other service interruptions.

i work a lot but if you buy records you can visit me @ work

i'm mainly looking for something that will work offline. don't know if i'm going to get set up with data in time.

I used to use nycmate then I just started always looking at the maps in the station

would totally visit an ian at work! Also want to go shopping with Laurel and virginia plaines, have drinks with mookie, and meet nycilxors I have yet to meet.

Fun! I am pretty sure I am in town that weekend. Count me in for shopping and drinks.

Paper map from the booth is your friend. Also the system is pretty simple and easy to learn, but hard to view on the iPhone screen.

i come to new york

i use NYC Subway as an ipad app

indian food in clinton hill/fort greene. any recommendations?

joy on Flatbush is dece, nothing special tho

that is kinda my 'hood, i have never had anything more than average indian food around here, but if you find something let me know.

Joy Indian imo. Still the most velvety and multi-note korma sauce I have ever had, although I haven't been there in a few years.

thanks guys. i was overruled and we ended up eating at ghandi cafe in w village. it was ok.

Probably no big loss. Joy has gone downhill recently imo.

i go to new york on aug 16th - 20th!

playing a show at glasslands on aug 17th w/dj ruptur3 and a bunch of other rad djs

also ilxor surmounter will be performing a song with me

Awwww that sounds like it will be glamtastic. The event is way way not my thing and I'm a little crazed still from being out of town all last week, so it doesn't look good for me. But enjoy!

whoa

i'm pretty excited

hey i know those people; who are you?

chants

ah! well i will introduce if i get out!

please do!

I'm pretty much a gimp right now, but do you have a guess as to show start/end time?

glasslands tends to run on the 10-2 schedule iirc.

they have an early show (8:30) that night, so i think our show starts at 11:00? hopefully it will run tight since there are so many acts, everyone is doing 1/2 hr sets. i guess since everyone but me is a dj there should be very little change-over time.

you got a website? I'm curious what you do if you don't dj
