New York

New York City: Making personal disputes loudly public since 1898.

More people should be excited that I saw Hum tonight so here is my video of Hum playing a Hum song in front of me.

Celebrating 5 years in Brooklyn tonight at @hellolanemoore’s @KnittingFactory show, and @paul_mar’s metal karaoke sendoff at @saintvitusbar.

The original Penn Station being replaced by the joyless fecal dungeon we use today is NYC’s most shameful moment. twitter.com/NYTransitMuseu…

Flatbush, Atlantic, Pacific, Dean, Bergen, St Marks, Warren, Baltic, Butler, Douglass, Degraw, Sackett, Union, President, Carroll.

Wide awake. Two insanely loud booms on my block. The cops say they were fireworks. So, what, unexploded recreational ordnance? Fucking hell.

Heading into my second and final taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

The Damned is an odd crossbreed of outlaw biker film, love story, and atomic-age science fiction, and this unlikely amalgam allows the film to give equal time to several of the Western Bloc’s competing attitudes about the Cold War era.

In the idyllic seaside town of Weymouth, King (Oliver Reed) and his gang of delinquents, The Teddy Boys, spend their days terrorizing tourists. After becoming one of the gang’s victims, the affluent Simon (MacDonald Carey)… See more →

Last night I was the designated @usairguitar sherpa for judges @hellolanemoore, @michaelcmaronna, and @dtamberelli. They are THE BEST.

I stopped wondering if I qualified as a New Yorker after the third time I appeared on the cover of The New Yorker.

I had a super fun time briefly sharing the stage with @alexkoll, @BVPcomedy, @julianvelard, and @HarMarSuperstar at @UnionHallNY last night!
