Better Than Real Because It's Not.

Pete agreed to haul a load out of Brooklyn for me if I agreed to go rollerblading in Central Park. Things have gone downhill quite a bit since then. It already seems like it was long ago.
He almost never goes forward except in reverse.
Pete hates the cyclists… passionately.
Some girl caught his eye.

(September 21) Pete called and said “I’m in Little Italy, come meet me.”
The neighborhood doesn’t like it. You think?
Drown The Clown, a regular at this festival.
There’s a reason it’s called a feast.
Lots of food. Lots of fried food.
Elmo and Cookie Monster learned the hard way, nobody likes a snitch.
It was packed with food and people.
It’s always strange to see a Ferris Wheel on a city street.
Around all this food, Pete is truly loving life.
Brought to you by, High Fructose Corn Syrup…
… fried food, …
… and some Italian guys.
Time to leave Little Italy.
Oh, and I didn’t know Tony had a gift shop. Invoking the Pseudoreal Rule of Gift Shops, thus ends the 2008 Feast of San Gennaro Festival.

Dorkbot is one of my favorite things to go to. Nobody knows me there;
it’s all fun and no work when you’re on the audience side of the podium.
His heart beats, you see it in realtime.
You can watch him use the various parts of his brain too.
Yes, Pete has a cup of black coffee in one hand, and a lit cigar in the other, and he’s rollerblading in Central Park.
(he’s wearing the same shirt as last time too)
Back on Smith St. in Brooklyn, they let some kids decorate the boards used to conceal a construction site. They should do this more often.
Back to Central Park, Pete leads the newbies through the AIDS walk after-crowd.
The cops eventually made them clear out. Surprised?
Finally it was off to visit Josh at the Harold & Kumar Frat House.
I CAN HAZ.

Since my last post here, I lost all my photos, except those on this site to a hard drive failure.
In December, I went into Manhattan with Pete and his cousin Maria, to see the store displays, and have dinner at Bice.
Pedro and Maria
That’s a lot of candy.
Then in January we went to Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum, followed by dinner at Novecento.
The most pretentious McDonald’s I’ve ever seen. The food is still McDonald’s.
None of them is real.
Finally, in February I went to see Sleepwalkers.
Edit: I forgot about the McDonald’s downtown with the piano player, which I saw once back in the 80’s, so the jury’s still out on the most pretentious McDonald’s in the city, (or that I’ve ever seen).

It’s so much faster when you drive there… early.
May 30.
These are among the world’s most expensive billboards.
Through the tunnel.
I believe they call this contrast.
The angel atop the fountain.
Pete, and more contrast.
There were a fair number of people relaxing in the park.
When we left there was no traffic to speak of.
It was a nice day, and we got home quickly.
