Stuff we been doin'

So, Friday we went to the Empire State Building

and the Met, below ,
adding a little gusto to Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze's "Washington Crossing the Delaware"
and generally walked around yesterday in SOHO
and there abouts. Ate huge Kosher corned beef sandwiches ate 2nd Ave.Deli and went to Madison Square Garden to see Audioslave.

D.L.

So, we went to a taping of David Letterman but no cameras allowed in the studio.Pooh pooh!
Really a bummer since his guest was Bruce Willis and the musical guest was CARLOS SANTANA!
Big props to Chris for scoring the V.I.P. tix ,we had exellent seats.
General touristing in Chelsea, an excellent Italian meal and coffee in the Village capped off a fun day .
Can't seem to post pics at this time so I'll do that later...........
Meantime , off to the Empire State Building..............

Re-Touristing

So my good friend Chris P. flew in last night from Houston, Texas. So with 5 days off and no $ I'm gonna be a gawker in the Big City. This afternoon we're going to the Ed Sullivan Theater to see a taping of The Late Show with David Letterman.
Also ,I started a new position with the painting co. I work for. I do several things including driving all over Manhattan which ,given my previous experience I took to very quickly. It's not as bad as one might think ,just incredibly slow and stupifying at times.
Mo' later........

This just in

Houston leads Chicago 4-2 in the bottom of the 6th.
GO 'STROS!!!!

Tuesday Afternoon

So back to work today,Crosstown to the east side {yes that east side, Park Ave.) Hey, some one's gotta have that kinda of money cause I never will, and if I did I'd choose to live in Soho. A beautiful day for a cup of coffee on a bench in Central Park, which is exactly how I spent some post job time.
Tomorrow I need to take my girlfriend to work w/me ,that being my Canon eos 350 D.
And now , some chill grooves some paint, and maybe a Boca Burger.

Sun Shine

So Annie was right , the sun did come out . After 7 straight days of rain. Needless to say every one in the city was out on the streets including yours truly. Did a bit of meandering and window shopping and then I finally hooked up with Bill's Friends. I even went to a dance. I feel much better after some fellowship and fresh (as it can get in Manhattan) air.
Tomorrow eve, I plan to go to a club in the east village to dig on some lounge and chill grooves w/ a new friend.
For now , a shower and some paint.

Just Enough For the.....

7:30 Mon Evening



Later that same Evening




Needless to say I was exausted the next day, but i woke up in Manhattan and made the 30 min. commute very happily.And i only got on the wrong train once on the way home.

Leaving Patchogue

So I got up later than I would've liked.My new place is on the 5th floor and yesterday I moved an entire carload of boxes and stuff up all 5 flights. Fortunately I do not have too much left.I saved a bunch of info last night , wi-fi spots, libraries, meetings etc. Now i just have to drink some more coffee ,one last time here on the porch, and get my ass in gear .
More as soon as i can...............

Phase 2

So, my new address is 473 W. 159th st.
Such as it is. Its not much but it is a place to lay my hat.(apologies for the Temptations reference)And more to the point I will be living in NYC.As well (and most important) I will have space to paint.
Unfortunately I will not have internet access but i'm sure i'll make do.
Also ,that will not be my mailing address. I know it all sounds weird but whats a boy to do?
I will make periodic updates and check my e-mail as often as possible and will post pics soon.
Meanwhile..................some of my latest studies.
.

Hunting for a place to stay

So , spear in hand,and car packed i'm off to NYC to an apt. broker to find a place to live for a while. Hopefully I'll be reconnected with internet service before long so I may be out of pocket via the information super highway for a bit. Naturally i'm a little nervous and it is exceptionally weird to go off w / much of my belongings packed up w/ no where to go as yet.
The Experiment continues........

Quick post

Still alive , spent almost 2 hrs traveling 100 blocks today 'cause the city was a cluster#%@& this after noon what with the new "terrorist plots".Who knows?
Any hoo, hopefully I made my last work commute today . I'll post more in the next two days as news develops.Mean wile ,back at the Batcave.........
