West side

PS1. on Saturday, I ran into an old friend I haven't seen from high school. She just moved here 4 months ago. NYC is such a dense place, you would think running into an acquaintance is extremely rare, but it happens, 2nd time in 2 weeks. What the hell? I guess sometimes we're aligned with the stars.

Mr. Magic

Lately I've been seeing a lot of street performers who don't pay any attention to their "flair" (term used in Office Space). His outfit is great, not to mention the curls on his stash, which probably took at least 30 minutes this morning.

Napa Valley

All this and wine too. The top picture was taken at Domaine Chandon and the bottom at Peju.

House on a hill

Walking down the hilly streets of SF I spotted this eerie but cool looking house. I think it was on California Street.

Victory is mine!

Like I said before, I was at a wedding this weekend in SF. I took this shot of the bride right before she cut the cake. The groom, a good friend of mine is not in the picture. I actually warned him many times not to buy the wedding band from a place called Mordor Jewelers. See!

Hats are in

I went to a wedding this weekend and saw a lot of cool hats during and after the wedding. Some of them were multifunctional. Pics courtesy of lil' bean via yobofunk. Had a really cool time in SF, love that city.

Old pictures

Found these pics of the WTC from Wired New York , haven't seen shots like this for a while.

Portraits

I love the frames on the photos. It makes um classy. They're on display at bar called "Dublin", somewhere in the west village.

Have fun dammit!

This weekend everyone was so damn tired, we couldn't even force a smile.

Bye Alex

Sadly another candle is extinguished in NYC. We'll miss you.

Indie rock

Keepin' it real in china town, Sunday afternoon.

The 'Ol 96er!

I haven't posted a pic of paddy for a while. This isn't his best photograph, but since the blog is named after him..... Anyway he had just come home after finishing the 'ol 96er, the famous 96 oz. steak that if finished by 1 person will allow your entire table to eat free. That night Paddy finished it in record time, beating a 17 year old record held by a Buck Russell. The staff called the chef out for confirmation but when Chef Ramsay arrived he glanced at his plate and muttered, "he's not f#%ing finished," pointing to the remaining gristle and fat. Paddy took a deep breath, slurped up the rest of his ginger ale and like a champion on Fear Factor, proceeded to choke down the last few remnants of "meat". None the less he finished it. We carried him home that night and plopped him on the couch where he remained for the rest of the weekend.

Shoes

This is crazy.

moopacking art

Saturday night in the meatpacking district and these views were the classiest that evening. I was told that the astronaut was done by an artist, once propositioned by a celebrity chef.

Swiss Bus

I saw this bus parked on 55th & Broadway. There were people inside dressed in Swedish attire. Conicidentally, across the street in front of a bar, were a group of men dressed as court jesters. I don't think one had anything to do with the other.

Booz cruise

Unless you've got a 4 mil. to spend on water front condo, the best way to get a nice view of the city is on a boat, preferably with a bar.






It was rainy, but clouds gave the sunset some cool effects. Brought to you by Christian, the sponsor of the booz cruise.

Better watch your brokeback

I think there's gonna be a turf war. I saw what seems to be a naked cowgirl. I don't think she's in anyway associated with the naked cowboy, who's probably plotting against her as we speak. Although, those stars are a nice touch. Kudos naked cowlady.

Cars

This was Times Square Saturday morning around 8am. I thought it was somewhat interesting. Didn't wanna make me buy a car just yet.
