Adventures in Brooklyn and Beyond

I went into this past weekend with extremely high expectations and was not disappointed in the least. As most of you know I am currently OBSESSED with LCD Soundsystem and have been looking forward to Saturday's Studio B show since I bought the tickets back in February. James Murphy is totes my hero and has taught me that I am unusually good at rave dancing with glow sticks. So good in fact that some of my friends are scared. The same friends who go to Burning Man and wore light up outfits to the show on Saturday. I'm just going to take their fear as a compliment. The show was fantastic from start to finish (they even played Someone Great!)and my only complaint was that it was hotter than the dance tent during mid-afternoon at Coachella up in Studio B. I poured my own drink over my head at one point to cool off. Eventually I just gave into the heat and continued to dance until the very end. Then I snagged somebody else's car to get home and will probably have bad taxi karma for years to come.







Other highlights of the weekend:

Rachel telling the guy at Rosarios it was ok to give us cold pizza since we were holding up the line.

Talking about Norwhales.

Park "whoring"

Blowing skank whistles

Pip.

Eating our way through Red Hook - chocolate covered key lime pie on a stick, mounds of Mexican goodness, corn, lemonade, mango, etc.





Watching Billy drop his cell phone down a sewer grate in front of the Lodge only to have the Mexican Macguyver and half of the bar come to his rescue and successfully return his phone to him. The entire place clapped when this happened. Sidenote, while sent on a mission to get duct tape to save said phone, Billy also returned with trick gum that shocked you. Amazing.



Niki and Elissa's costumes.



Jack's B-day BBQ. Sure I'll eat a chicken sandwich to wash down my hotdog. Yum!
