NOPE

DCKT Gallery which was filled with tons of cut and paste creatures!

This building ruled.

Bilmas and Tammy with the pint of Stogo!

Then we went to Tomkins Square Park and watched dogs, sat in the grass, and got eaten by mosquitoes.

Later, I ended up finding a ticket to Art Brut, so Bilmas and I went and saw them at the Mercury Lounge and it RULED. They we're hilarious/so British and covered the Ramones!

Katelynn came to visit for a few days!

Janine, Hollie and Katelynn waiting for Melanie and Matt in Brooklyn park.

We walked the Brooklyn Bridge.

Melanie and Matt are the cutest two!

OBEY

Gimme this Vespa

After a long day of shopping/walking the Brooklyn Bridge, we hungout in Justin's room for a bit, and PAT came to visit for the weekend!

Hollie and I

Janine, Dale and I headed toward the Lower East Side, and I met up with David and saw X at the Bowery Ballroom. They were awesome, and Billy Zoom was such a creep.

After the show, Bilmas and I grabbed some falafel from Ashkara (Best falafel in NYC, and possibly the world), drove to Brooklyn in hopes to find DanO and also see The Heartbreakers, but unfortunately neither worked out, so we listened to songs from The Muppets soundtrack instead.

Tuesday we hit up the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was huge and amazing and filled with great exhibits. My favorite the Picture Generation exhibit, and the "Model As Muse" exhibit! This photo was taking from a top the roof "garden."

Dale and the girls

Another shot from the outdoor garden thing.

Hollie and I

Janine, Hollie, Me, Melanie

Lexington Candy Shop - where we ate lunch!

Upper East Side

After the Met, Justin and I went and saw Japanther play a weird free show at Barnes and Nobel. It was being televised, or livestreamed or something. Anyways, it was weirding sitting and watching them, but it was still pretty awesome/hilarious.

After that suuuuper early show, Justin and I decided to go hangout with some of the girls. Justin thought a red onesie would be the appropriate attire for said hangout.

After hangingout in their room forever, we decided a late night walk to Washington Square Park was in order. We decided the gross fountain would be the best place to hangout in.

Shauna and I! She was so fun.

144/365 (May 24th, 2009)

Justin, Janine, Hollie, Melanie and I waiting for our flight to NYC in Detroit!

Melanie and all of her documents

The side of the plane I was sitting on swooped down and gave us all a beautiful view of Manhattan!

When we arrived, we found this vegetarian placed called Moaz that gave us SO much food (and delicious lemonade with mint!) for $7.

We pretty much all have a double room to ourselves, but poor Melanie got stuck on the NINTH floor, when the rest of us are on the third! She stayed with me last night, but she's currently downstairs trying to get her own room on the third floor. It'll make it so much easier because we both have guests coming both weekends.

After we all got settled in, we went to meet up with Dale at 55 Bar on Christopher.
We couldn't get in right away because it was PACKED, so we sat around outside for a bit.
When we did get in, it was worth it. The Jazz band was really awesome. I can't remember what they were called. Lage Something Whatever from Sweden. I didn't stick around TOO long though. Pretty wiped from the trip.

I have no idea what's going on today yet. I should maybe figure that out. A bunch of us are going to walk around Greenwich Village (where I'm staying) to get ourselves situated with our neighbourhood, then whooooo knows!
