Holy cow! It's been a hell of a day, and I've only had to endure work thus far. Fortunately, the real shit of my day was out of my system by 10am. What does this mean? Well, if you were on 2nd Avenue and 1st Street this morning around 8:45am, you saw a kid on a blue BMX bike eat some shit. As I crossed the Avenue jamming out to The Ponys my chain came loose and tossed me from the bike. Luckily the Big Blue is low to the ground so I can easily ditch out on it, but this incident did make me look like a fool to others on their way to work. After a few attempts at fixing the chain I realized my tardiness would not be appreciated so I walked my bike and my greasy hands to the office. A full on day at work followed this comical episode.
So I’m finally rid of that horrendous day at work. It was one of those days where you come into the office only to find a pile of work on your desk. It was just my luck that all of that work got neglected as emails poured in from students all over the globe. Since returning home, I’ve been on the computer trying to catch up in whatever capacity possible.
Yesterday was nice and lax. As you can see from the two large posts below, I had a lot of free time on my hands. After work Noah and Matt came over to gear up for some basketball. We were walking towards the courts when we noticed Jack and Adam who regretted to inform us that our regular hoops were closed. On our way to the Chrystie Street courts some drunk was walking down the street while yelling shit and sipping a beverage from a brown paper bag. As he passed our crew he yelled, “Yo, we got Napoleon Dolemite over here.” We all knew he was talking about Jack. Can you see the resemblance? Luckily Jack has a bit more style than Napoleon Dynamite, but Jack couldn’t beat him in a dance off.
We hit the courts and played some seriously sweaty ball for a good couple of hours. I’m starting to feel pretty healthy in respect to exercising regularly while not smoking any illegal substances. On the flip side I still eat like a dickhead. For instance, after this work out, all the boys met up with Sean Bones and Lance at Croxley Ale House for a couple beers and heaps of 10cent wings. So my gut remains firmly (or loosely) in place while my lungs are slowly coming around. My night came to an abrupt end when I came home to pass out after dinner.
Ok, so the next couple of days will be pretty amazing, but don't take my word for it. The weather is supposed stop being so shitty so it's time to emerge from your air conditioning for some great shows and what stands to be the Barbeque to end all BBQ's. There are a few under the radar events happening around town so do your best to check out the following:
1. Walk Humongous @ Trash (256 Grand St) on Wednesday, August 4th (10:45pm). Check out Part 1 of this past weekend’s write up for my take on Max, Colin and Noah’s band. Like I said before, take equal parts Fugazi, Nirvana, Clutch and Minor Threat, throw them in a blender and puree.
2. These Bones @ The Delancey (186 Delancey @ Clinton) on Thursday, August 5th (9pm). You know how much I love this band so come down to the club to join me or to tell me I’m full of shit, but if you try to throw the latter at me, you better have good reason because these guys rock harder than Michael Winslow in the Police Academy Series.
3. Big Ass Rooftop Keg BBQ! @ Jeff & Simon’s Apt (540 Henry St, Bklyn) on Saturday, August 7th (3pm till Liz does her last keg stand).
Subway Directions: Take the F train to Hoyt-Schermerhorn, go upstairs and across to the opposite platform. Hop on the G to Carroll St. Exit at President Street, and walk along President to Henry. We're 540 Henry, call and we'll toss the keys down from the roof. (If you have a problem, call me). All are welcome!
Other On the Horizon Events:
1.Dirty On Purpose @ Rothko on Saturday, August 7th (11:30pm). Come and welcome home some of the best indie rockers Brooklyn has to offer. They are currently on the road performing their first tour and we should all come show our pride this weekend.
2. The Bahamas @ Luna Lounge on Monday, August 9th (9:30pm). Its been over a year since Dan, Kevin, Lou and Nick have taken the stage together. Come show your support to these boys as they revisit some of their old material and introduce us to their new opuses. Yes, the Bahamas have returned! So come and give them so love.

In other immortal words of Harry Caray, "Look at this beautiful young couple sitting on the third base line...he kisses her on the strikes, and she kisses him on the balls. Holy Cow!"
is that you paul? it sounds like you.
Yeah that was me, but I swear on Zep that that was a real HC quote.
no fucking way... but i guess i have to take your midwest word for it. do you have documentation of such quote? There is a Yogi berra book of quotes, but I don't know if Caray had the same attention. Do you know? and even if he did, would they have the ummm... balls... to print it?
So swearing on Zeppelin is not enough? Fuck you then
