Holy good weekend! I gotta start cooking up these big pots of gumbo more often. LAst nite went to the brooklyn underground carnival of pain, which turned out to be a blast for the first few hours. never ran into niabi or anything and the oil wrestling with fat suits never kicked in, but there was plenty of flaming fireballs and peculiar oddities. and PBR. and giant metal smashing contraptions and rides.
friday went to some gay ass show, but the company was good, the nite ended up being a brooklyn bar romp. shit i never even went into the city this weekend, except to switch trains. that shits overrated anyways except for all the fine dining, broadway shows and deluxe movie theatres and amazing sites. but for the most part the bars can kiss my ass until i work up some loot.
Also had a pretty amazing time shopping for gumbo ingredients and walking around the hood. all the hacidics (never tried to sp) were cruising around in special hats that look like a giant furry fat nickel. little hispanic kids were playing league baseball under the skyline, navy yard on one side and wb bridge on the other. people were spilling out of their houses and old hispanic dancing. need to start carrying around a camera. almost got into a fight with an old polish guy for buying up the last of the shrimp.
