today i went into the city with my family. the whole purpose was to go into greenwich village and hop some dylan sites, but we were only there for a half hour tops. i brought the fam to
dylan played here a lot. when steve and i went to see roark play here back in april i saw that they had a sweet mural of famous people who have played there, including dylan. there's pictures of dylan around on the walls too.
,
i'd totally live here, not just because bob dylan did but cause it looks like a sweet little place and it's in the heart of greenwich.
, and
in the basement of this building is where bob dylan wrote "a hard rain's a-gonna fall" in 1962.
unfortunately, being in the city with my father is very difficult because he can't just stand back and take it all in, and he walks too fast. he just wanted to go to little italy to eat, so that ended our greenwich village mini-adventure. on the way out we spotted this
for no direction home. our next stop was lombardi's for some AWESOME
. it was the best pizza i've ever had and i definitely recommend everyone to go there and eat. after that we went to my fav. store in soho, yellow rat bastard. i bought a really nice hoodie for $38. my mom and i went into a couple more stores but didn't really find anything .. that i could afford haha. another sort-of dylan site,
this is where joe gallo was murdered, which dylan wrote a song about, "joey".
. we went to some little italy festivities but it was so crowded and so hot we decided to walk to the canal st. station to get the subway back to penn. we took the 5:07 train home and all i can say is i love new york.
school starts tuesday and i am so not ready! summer treated me so good this year and i loved it.

i was thinking when i graduate brookdale i'd like to study abroad in london. my mom told me the other night if i got the opportunity to go for it, and i was looking it up online and i really want to do it. i told my mom about the cost and stuff and i think her and my dad are thinking about it. i just really have to get out of this place. new jersey sucks a lot and i just want to get away from it. lately all i think about is a specific boy who maybe i like i don't know but he is so far. i miss him and i can't wait to see him/talk to him again.. hopefully before next summer. i hope he doesn't hate me for a good reason that i think he might.
the socratic cd comes out in TWO DAYS! and i am so excited. i've been listening to it non-stop and i am in love. if you haven't already, listen to the cd at www.mammothpress.com and pick it up on tuesday. it is so worth it.
