A dog three birds and two fish tanks

The one catch is that nobody spends any time with their dogs and cats. New York must have the highest per capita rate of roommates driven batty by lunatic cats starved for attention by their inattentive masters (who imagine themselves as doting pet-lovers when it comes time for Instagram).
I have lived this.

so i'm staying on grand st/bushwick ave in an airbnb i got around there.
― Legitimate space tale (LocalGarda), Friday, 25 October 2013 14:01 (ten years ago) link
that's a good spot. grand st is my favorite part of williamsburg, it has kept some of the old puerto rican flavor mixed with newer stuff. kinda feels like the mission in SF a little bit. Grand Morelos has good Mexican food in a open all nite diner setting, you got Huckleberry for fancy cocktails and snacks, Carmine's on graham has good pizza, Daddy's and Harefield Road are nice bars.

yeah it was a bit pricier to be around there but reckon it's worth it.

ask a silly question, but can anyone recommend a driving school in manhattan or brooklyn? don't care about the quality of instruction (i'm an excellent driver an excellent driver), i just want it to be painless
― caek, Monday, 4 November 2013 05:09 (ten years ago) link
this is just for the 5h bullshit course + the test and maybe an hour before the test of driving around
So...Elvis T is here now, Local Garda arrives on the 13th, and I don't know when cozen gets here. Anyone? Anyone else?? gbx???

― ian, Monday, 11 November 2013 01:53 (ten years ago) link
Haven't figured out a place to stay yet, but probably I'll look in the same hood as last time. I'm in town solo until wifey flies into JFK from business trip that weekend.
― Chantal Anchorman (admrl), Monday, 11 November 2013 02:04 (ten years ago) link
Then we're staying in a friend's place in Fort Greene until Sunday, so I'll be close by.

Anyone going to MBV tonight?
― Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 08:56 (ten years ago) link
oh is that tonight? no one I know bought tickets, they were all annoyed at the prices (me included). I kinda had it in my head I might try to go scalp but I thought it was later in the month .... so sadly, no, ain't going.

An unimportant one that only crowns Oscary movies, or worse (the chick in Inglourious Basterds won best actress one year).
what's goin on at FMU? Recfair ain't til following weekend.
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 18:48 (ten years ago) link
No MBV for me, sorry. Just saw that Jonathan Richman is playing next week at the Bowery Ballroom, thinking about trying to go to that. If he does "Foggy Notion" or even "Velvet Underground" might lose it though.
― Pazz & Jop 1280 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 19:43 (ten years ago) link
I actually didn't get MBV tickets myself (wasn't sure at last minute because I had to delay the trip out a couple days). Am thinking of heading up there to see if I can get a scalped one.
Wooden Shjips are also in town I see.
― Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 22:34 (ten years ago) link
I went to the MBV last night and there will definitely be scalpers at the door + people who maybe just lost a member of their party on the way over

Am here now, lagged and awake very early. Got in late last night and had a beer in that Spuyten Duyvil place, nice little bar. Went to Fette Sau cos it was across the road, lol obvious tourists.
Fette Sau was okay, food was a bit cold, room was a bit cold too, I figure it's more a summer place? I had seen kinda mixed reviews.
Might go to some museums today, and attempt to stay out later tonight. And also buy a wooly hat.

you're in luck, forecast through the weekend has the temp going into the mid 60s

So loop me in if anyone makes up plans, eh? I'm going to a meeting tonight in my neighborhood but Fri/Sat/Sun are currently open. LG, do you have a phone you're using here? Or is email best?
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Thursday, 14 November 2013 13:08 (ten years ago) link
Yep I have my phone, +44 seven five, 22453843. I'm pretty open to ideas, there's a few friends staying near me but we've no real schedule, maybe a beer at the weekend... I'll go wherever suits others.
I'll prob see a play next week if anyone is into that... not checked what's on yet tho.

I might take in Mike Kelley on Friday too...in fact, that is kinda the main purpose of my visit.

i love fette sau but yeah i guess its better in summer when you can eat outside

― am0n, Thursday, 14 November 2013 15:35 (ten years ago) link
my fette sau experience is having discount sliders + bourbon w/ ian after 11pm.
I am crazed for the next 4 weeks with end-of-year film bullshit; I would go to the theuhtuh if anyone had told me about this goddamn Beckett radio play that is now probably sold out after the Times rave yesterday.
oh cept i am seeing the Mekons doc tom'w night at 9:45 so i guess it doesn't matter if i get drunk first.
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 14 November 2013 15:47 (ten years ago) link
Yeah with Fette Sau I think we arrived p late so I guess the stuff was a bit cold as they reach the end. The short rib was amazing but a bit hotter would have been good.
I missed that Beckett thing in London too, I'll take a look and see about tickets tho.
