so i spent my 4th of july weekend in new york. it was most definately the best 4th of july i have ever experienced. i spent my weekend with andrew who is just wonderful because upon my arival he spoiled me with brie, good bread, and capote.
on the 3rd we hung around 14th street. i found khonnor's handwriting at an underground record shop. then we went to this bar where we bumped into andrew's buddy matt who was showing this experimental band from texas around new york. i danced with lucas, one of the band members, for a little while, and drank 2 guinesses. the bartender was really cool too. he was this chubby black irishman from oregon named jared. he wore horn rimmed glasses and had a white piece of fabric tied around his head like a karate master. he dj's on the side for kicks, has a 9,000+ album collection(non downloads), and is really into gay italian disco from the 80's.
Then on the 4th we went to andrew's friend, warren's, apartment to watch the fireworks from the buildingtop. there was a lot of beer, a lot of tequilla, and a lot of dancing to morissey, the beachboys, iggy pop and more. warren has a very beautiful and playful cat named olaf. olaf also happens to be what i named on of my cameras (yeah i'm a nerd).leaving new york to my new found home in massachusetts was upseting, especially after such a good time.
somewhere in that mishmosh of time i managed to spend 4 hours in newjersey. i raided my parents' home of handsoap, vitamins, and spices. i also grabbed a couple items i left behind, such as, clothes, cd's, and my pillow. i swung by victoria's secret to pick up a paycheck which i was in need of.
