You don’t often hear me talking excitedly about food, but @TheSteelCart just sold me one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had.
Took 4th place at the @usairguitar Northeast Semifinal behind Airistotle, Ricky Stinkfingers, and Smiley Rod, who all advance to the Finals!

Generate New York 2014
On my way to #generateconf for the day.
Did not expect to see so many people making out in public as I biked home around midnight on a Tuesday. youtu.be/eK9Wal9Dvic
Around last call on weekends, my street is a magnet for drunk women on cell phones shrilly rebuffing booty calls.
The Dead Milkmen
Spent the evening catching up with @mrclean, @magnetbox, and @ems, followed by some rock and/or roll from those Dead Milkmen. Summertime!
My new favorite black metal graffiti.
Under the Skin
We Are the Best!
Green-Wood Cemetery
NYC has considerably more noise and humidity than Alaska, but it is good to be home.
Well, that’s a first. A kid at Union Station just asked me for deodorant.

Someone lend me $10 million? The prosperity I’m guaranteed by an unregulated free market assures your reimbursement. marketplace.brownstoner.com/listing/CORCOR…

Saturday morning serenade.

Today’s view of Manhattan.
After a few days, the snow is basically a white glove test for the city, like, “See? This is how filthy this place is ALL THE TIME.”
Carrie
Carrie is one of the better Stephen King adaptations, thanks largely to Sissy Spacek’s fragile performance and its memorably masterful climax. Still, I always feel like the first hour is mostly just something to sit through while waiting for the big moment.
The snow and ice don’t bother me. It’s the cars trying to get out of their parking spots. My block sounds like the fucking Daytona Speedway.
The Lego Movie
The Lego Movie is probably the best unabashed, 100-minute toy commercial anyone is ever likely to see. It certainly helps that the toy on offer has a long history of superior quality, and that the imagination- and creativity-focused brand values the film is designed to bolster are essentially unassailable.
