orange.: October in brief

Here goes...

1.

Mortega the Creep returned from Barcelona and came to the loft in Newark for dinner. I make a pretty good stir-fry.

2.

Rediscovered the Garment District while wandering around the city. So shiny, so wonderful.

3.

On the 4th, we had dinner at Matt and Jake's in JC during the Jersey City Artist Studios Tour. Somehow ended up in cabs/bikes to Lucky 7's and the Lamp Post--imagine that. Yes, and you can't get much more Jersey than that.

4.

It occurred to me that if an ant were to cross the Grand Canyon, it might not even register it.

5.

Attended Damian Catera's soundwalk with Ross and Steph at Van Vorst Park in JC. Beautiful.

6.

Just for fun.

7.

We had a massive potluck dinner at the loft on the 12th. This was only the beginning.

8.

Working up by Mary Ann's in North Bergen, NJ.

9.

Walking home in Newark. I really need a bike.

10.

Night and day. Ari's home so little; I miss her.

11.

Acted as videographer/photographer for BAC's Folk Arts event on the 16th in Brooklyn and met some of the dancers/performers I've been staring at via web responsibilities. As colorful as it looks.

12.

Drinks with David. I had a good night.

13.

More trains. Always more trains...

14.

Recently been editing a bit via NYU for Jo. Preparing a stencil for her installation in Queens. Recently also obtained another job through film agent Thomas Turley at The Right Eye in Union Square. The network is growing. Always useful as the economy crashes....

15.

I went to Koreatown on 32nd at a place called Oz to have my haircut, first time professionally in forever. I think they just succeeded in making me look more Asian. Swell.

16.

Went trolling around the city with Ross on the 18th. Damage: 9 bars in LES, much less to drink. Favored the Mercury Lounge. And Ross really liked his rocking horse shirt. (It has rhinestones, so duh.)

17.

Had a date with Meg on the 23rd, to catch up on old 455 Wayne times. Visited Marco and Pepe's and Skinner's for way too much food. (And somewhere in the distance, Derek wondered how the Phillies had landed him in the shower.)
