Better Than Real Because It's Not.

With Adam in town for a rare visit, we went out to dinner at Sala 19.
Larry knows Tony knows food.
And that every word Tony tells you is absolutely true.
It was discovered that bacon defeats vegetarianism.
Lunar New Year! I should get pictures in Chinatown…
I’ve never paid any attention to this before.

(December 3) This week, helped a friend move, saw Dorkbot.
One last trip to Bushwick.
The MTA is broken. Very very broken.
Big junk.
Big scandal.
It’s not really showing slides.
Which more or less boils down to….
This,
and this.
Next to the junk truck, we have the cheeky booty.
I love the cobblestone streets.

(November 23) In what is likely to be the last expedition for November, I headed from the Tree Huts in Madison Square Park to the Roosevelt Island Tram terminal to see Dylan Mortimer’s Prayer Booths. I got there just in time not to see them assembled, which was a bummer in that I saw one of them enough that I’m not likely to spend the time and money to go back. Allow me to say once again, that I despise Standard Time.
These, are the sorry excuses (kiosks) for what passes for a phone booth these days.
Above, are from our local telephone monster, Verizon.
This, would be most of a Prayer Booth. Apparently he takes them in at night, possibly due to the graffitti.
Although to be honest, the graffitti stain adds an authenticity to the Prayer Booths that would have been otherwise absent given nothing else around here is free from some kind of …. urban weathering.
In keeping with my previous Astroland theme, I probably won’t go back to see them in an assembled condition, but now that I’ve said that,….
As of now, for the first time in months, there’s nothing left in the queue here.

(November 12 & 15) I don’t think there had been any “unorganized” protest marches in this city since my arrival, but during the week of November 12 there were two.
The first was at night, in midtown Manhattan.
It shut down Broadway.
Three days later, there was another, this one downtown.
It sort of shut down Broadway.
I couldn’t tell how big this one was.

(October 31) After long last, I finally made it to the NYC Halloween Parade. Another disappointing trip into the darkness with my camera. It’s really the flash that kills me I think, since I get decent shots when other people’s flashes are lighting things up.
As I waited for the connecting subway, I saw the Grim Reaper.
(Blurry, but that’s the shot I got.)
It moves along pretty quickly once it starts, all things considered.
It’s not Halloween without ghosts.
To be in this parade, you just show up, in costume.
Even ZipCars dressed up.
There were robots.
Mac was there too.
And I got to see Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin.
These guys were a little bananas.
