New York I Love You, But You're Bringing me Down

That's pretty much how I felt yesterday for the following reasons:

a. I fell while walking to work. I was rounding the corner from my street onto Houston and slipped on something and went down hard in front of 10 construction workers. Scraped up my whole leg, embarrassed myself, but pretended to be fine. 2 blocks later I stopped and screamed obscenities for a little bit. Great start to the week.

b. The guy at Dunkin' Donuts effed up my coffee order - again.

c. Work drama.

d. Elissa "I like to ruin Monday's for Meredith" Brown took me to a bar where they were doing a poetry reading and we had to whisper while we drank. BS!

But, like the light at the end of a tunnel, LCD Soundsystem turned everything around and ended my night with an amazing set at Webster. I'm almost positive it was the same set they did at Studio B on Saturday but it was only a quarter as hot in there and I could actually see so it seemed like a completely different experience. As soon as All my Friends came on the crowd really started letting loose and the rest of the night was fantastic.

After the show Elissa and I had the best/worst idea ever and decided that one Saturday this summer we are going to have St. Mark's Day. Basically we will spend and entire day just eating and drinking on St. Mark's and see how long it takes us to get from 3rd Ave to Thompkins Square Park. We'll stop for karaoke, perhaps a falafel, margaritas at La Palapa, pick up some goth clothes - it will be genius. If things get too out of hand we figure we can just get a room at the St. Mark's Hotel for the night. Almost forgot, the best part of this plan is that we will first meet at the 11th street flea market where we will all draw one of our friend's names and spend up to $30 on an outfit for them to wear during our St. Mark's adventure. I really hope I draw Balint's name. Robots are fun.
