i go to new york

||||||||||||http://i41.tinypic.com/2h2o10n.jpg

I'm coming to NY 5/26-6/4 (staying at the Dream in Midtown). Want to try to get to a Mets game at the new stadium (Nationals or Marlins). Are there any local minor league teams playing yet? The Brooklyn Cyclones don't start until the end of June, I think.

or I could be the lone guy wearing a Texas Rangers hat the next week @ Yanqui Stadium.

I hung out with Jaxon's wife last night. She was shocked when I told her people are talking about her on the internet. Sorry! But she should know better!

Ben brought her to a party that I was sorta supposed to DJ but there were 1,000 DJs and a bit of a scheduling clusterfuck and I played 5 records.

They were good records though.

milo, the Newark Bears (just rescued from oblivion) will be playing... I may try to get tix for Mets-Nats series.

beautiful weekend, momofuku was good (ramen was fine i guess, pork buns and esp. the cauliflower + boquerones were amazing), katz's deli was great. taking the shuttle bus from jay street > utica because of A train construction, then taking it back after my flight got canceled was pretty lame, but i had a nice bonus night anyway (mostly at barbes).

omg hate hate hate hate the shuttle

ruined my whole weekend

oh i usta live 6 blocks from Barbes.

i was staying at a bro's place above Bar 4

haha, I lived across the street from Bar 4! above the upscale kiddie store.

Been meaning to go to Barbes for ages.

was that mediterranean place on the corner there, morbs? i tried to eat there last night but they were done serving.

i saw stephan3 wr3mb3l's group (also realized i had seen him at brunch that morning, only noticed him cause i thought he looked like david foster wallace) at barbes, it got kinda wanky sometimes (he might be the yngwie of acoustic guitar?) but it's a fun band for a sunday night.

I ate at the older Med place, which is now the sushi place.

morbs, what is the best baseball game to see if i am in town april 24 - 30? mets options are marlins and washington. yankees have angels on my last day.

angles

isn't mets more fun though? or is that rockist?

btw, a friend and i got a taco from a taco truck at 6th ave & 4th st just to confirm that tacos are generally shitty in new york, she had one bite and later got mad sick and had to go home. fuck you, taco.

Not a prime taco gettin area

yankees are more fun since they hav a magical player known as a designated hitter

what do his powers include?

i was wandering around sunset park the next day and thought about trying for taco redemption, wasn't hungry though.

his powers are to do w/being designated exclusively for hitting

tbh tho the fan experience for either team is hard to judge this year since theyre both moving into brand new stadiums - my recommend was based on that the angels will likely be the best of those three visiting teams

like barry bands and big papa?

yeah, nationals are still a joke right? and florida haven't done much recently. getting to angels might be difficult on the last day though. i guess no one knows how dull the new stadiums are yet. i will figure it out (and revive this thread once i know dates).

big papi is yes a designated hitter - bonds always played in the national league where there is no dh

i am yanking your chain

god wtf a brittish being interest in baseball anyway rubbish sport

i love cricket

(also "espn america", which is our us sport channel on sky does not show basketball)

naw j/k baseball is ok - going to baseball games is fun

of course everywhere pales in comparison to FENWAY PARK

i got carded for the first time and really bad sunburn at a giants game. it was pretty awesome.

breaking news: i have my dates: BOS April 23-25, NYC 25 - my advisor tells me i have to come home (~30). there is no way i can get tickets for the yankees game at fenway on friday april 24, right?

just got to pay the big bucks is all - so u r coming to ny for one day?

yankees/sox is pretty much a guaranteed entertaining experience tho

no, nyc april 25-30th or so

film is on an east coast screening tour with ifc and i am joining them for a couple of legs.

o i c cool

if i could get out of work a day earlier i could go to chicago too, but i cannot

don't get banned before then and maybe we can go on a daet

yah we will party 4 sure - we can invite max and his friend from toronto and the rest of the crew

i thought you were going to make love to me, but i guess the crew will work too.

what you do at a ball game where you don't have a dog in the fight: gamble. if yr sitting w/bros, have someone get a hat and pass it around. everyone puts in $1, and you each take turns holding the hat (per at bat). if yr holding the hat and yr batter hits a single, you get a dollar. double, triple, etc. HR gets the whole pot!

sry caek im more into the orgy "scene" these days

do you have to put $1 in if your guy doesn't get on base?

http://rogerbourland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/eyesohno.jpg

no u put the $ in before the batting even begins

i think playing that game would make me actually want to watch one (1) baseball game.

or you could just watch the positioning of the defense.

new Yankee Stadium games priced to keep caek out (plus no May-Rod).

what is this film?

indie comedy with the guy from twilight playing at IFC center for a couple of days. i think you would probably hate it.

yo caek lets hang
