rusty and i head over to the aam party at the music hall of williamsburg. cool bands and hot dog. we then meet up with rig 1 and friends at the lodge. so many black label beers during the downpour.
The Ruby Suns – like Weekend at Bernies
A Place to Bury Strangers – like a screensaver
Monotonix – i’ve never seen a singer drop-kick a trash bin. or maybe i have?
The Lodge – 318 Grand St. Brooklyn, NY 11211
holy guacomole! how did they get a taco truck in the backyard of union pool? best so hungry thing i’ve seen at a bar. i worry about the empanada guy, but he eventually shows up. i think they can both work in harmony. when i get back home late at night, i get myspace requests from the union pool taco truck to my bands. the taco truck has wifi?
Fringe Factory – Atlanta’s premiere dance party (rating:Drangon & Phoenix – general tso’s chicken, hot & spicy shrimp)
Union Pool Taco Truck – be their myspace friend (rating: pork chow mai fun)
we go to enids in greenpoint for popular hipster brunch. but does that not make me a hipster if i think i’m hipster? they have really good brunch and bloody marys. afterwards, rusty and i go to the local mobster bar where there are guys with their shirts off wearing chains and big rings. the walls are covered in photos of boxers and frank sinatra. when rusty and i walked in, the music literally stopped and the jukebox started playing enya. it felt like twin peaks. they probably never seen anyone like me in their bar …a chinese hipster or more likely they thought a hippy.
