i go to new york

I didn't have strong feelings about Kelley, but the show was impressive. Didn't realize the breadth of his work. Almost the entire first floor is devoted to his recreations of the city of Kandor from Superman. There are other pieces, like this one huge sculpture upstairs, that are amazing.

M Wells Dinette is great but be careful if you're not too adventurous an eater. Last time we went the options were pretty limited and I decided to roll the dice on a Goat Tagine Terrine. Despite HATING gelatinous foods, I thought I'd man up and give it a shot since nothing else seemed up my alley and I figured I could handle it. I was wrong. It was like 10% goat meat and 90% terrine, solidified goat fat. I thought the ratio would be different. Sure, it tasted great once I stopped gagging.

The time I went before that I had one of the best meals I've had in years, so who knows.

While it may not be the first choice of things to do, you can take the 7 train in the direction opposite of Manhattan and go to the Queens Museum and see the panaroma of New York. Then you can say you saw the WHOLE city. They also have good permanent exhibits on the World's Fair and Tiffany glass, in addition to the contemporary international stuff. And outside is the actual worlds fair stuff which is pretty cool to see. The unisphere etc. Then go to Flushing for food. Or stop in Jackson Heights on the way back.

i have found m wells dinette to be very hit or miss and very expensive.

who's off tomorrow and drinking tonight?

Did you end up going out?

well, briefly. I was exhausted from the Mad Mad World disc.

Oh, I was working. :(

You felt like Jonathan Winters after tearing up the gas station?
(xp)

more like Dick Shawn('s stuntman) after he got flung across that buffet table

I'm coming out of the woods again this weekend to visit your rich people 's playground. Did Tuomas ever find those "bohemian clothes "? I'm in Bed Stuy for this visit.

Rad! I hope you like it! What's the nearest subway stop, out of curiousity?

new york i will be in you on friday the 9th and saturday the 10th of may, i am planning to go to the whitney biennial and otherwise i am doing w/e. if anyone is around maybe we should kick it.

i will bump this sooner to the time obv but i wanted to get it out there.

Damn I'm gonna miss ya

:( when are you back in usa?

it can probably be kicked

good, i am excited for this

Be back in June; have a big chunk of free time Aug/Sept so maybe I'll head up to Beantown instead!!

DO THAT

Anything interesting on this weekend?

does someone do your taxes? do you like them? can i have their information?

sarahel to thread - wrong coast but maybe she has NY connections...

i need help with NYS taxes in particular so i guess i'm looking for someone local

unless yr stuff is super complicated hr block online isn't bad?

"nonresident alien" = pretty complicated

i think i got it though

My birfday is Monday -- day after Easter really sux for the logistics. Just in case youse wanna consider either Mon eve or next weekend, I have no idea what to do yet.

did my taxes in about 70 minutes online. I paid H&R Block $125, which was more than the total tax, but i just wanted it over with.

Heeeeeey! I'm still in the clear on Monday, get on my calendar before something else does.

in texas on monday :-(

mets tho maybe next weekend?

maybe... I was even thinking of trying a Mets/Yankees doubleheader since they're both home, lol

if the weather is good i am down for sat evening

i'll be in nyc next month, for a New Orleans brass band gig at the Brooklyn Bowl 5/23.

if anyone who's around tomw 6-9ish for B0xcar, I wd do that (Jersey City bar trivia prob too ambitious); otherwise, more to come

My Slope bar's Ky Derby party is Sat May 3, 2ish-8

well drinking tonight doesn't seem good for most people so let's postpone that

new york i will be in you on friday the 9th and saturday the 10th of may, i am planning to go to the whitney biennial and otherwise i am doing w/e. if anyone is around maybe we should kick it.

UPDATE this is actually happening this coming weekend, still no clue what i'm doing but i may bump this on saturday or sunday night of we're just chillin' somewhere.

i'd love to drink a beer, but i'll be in RI this weekend. enjoy your stay!

and i am goin to DC, have fun

sorry to miss you guys!

Those guys are no fun anyway.

j/k

would kick it

anybody want to watch Manhattanhenge (TM) w/ drinks tonight, beginning around 7:30? Bars near 57th or 23rd i dunno, maybe this joint (first stop in Queens on the 7 or G)?

"scattered t-storms" tho

don't make plans on my account, but I work near 57th and may be working late tonight, so if things do happen to materialize around there and I'm still at the office, it's possible I could pop out for a bit.

I'm going to be home making Lechera's crockpot pulled pork recipe, sorry to miss drinx but you will benefit tomorrow!

:)

if anyone is at leisure and interested in watching world cup group games (i.e. the best bit), i'll probably be starting off in the great georgina on thursday (4pm, brazil croatia) then black forest on friday (12pm mexico cameroon, 3pm spain netherlands, 6p chile australia (probably won't stick around for this one)). i'm going solo and will bring a book/ipad, but company welcome.

also what about usa / ghana on monday at 6pm?

p.s. i'll be watch the england games alone because they make me unbearable.

those bars are both in ft greene/clinton hill, but can travel for e.g. the USA game (as long as it's not to a bar in williamsburg full of english people)

oh man i would watch hella games if i were to go to new york

come to new york

i am intersted, but those times are not v. amenable unless overmars will be available for spain-netherlands
