The Kills at Converse City Carnage Pier 63 NYC

Last night we saw Black Banana and The Kills at Pier 63, where Rusty takes care of the flowers. Drank too much and ate peanuts. I forgot to pay attention to the show.

We stumbled off to the train and bought a Lamb Doner Platter at Istanbul Grill on 14th St. I was thinking it would be better than a pita sandwich, because no bread. Todd and I are trying to cut the carbs. Took it on the train and we got so pissed when we found out they gave us pita bread on the side and the whole bottom of the platter was rice. I was about to go all the way back to complain. I was so pissed and drunk.

I’m not sure if the platter is worth $12.45. Seems expensive. Probably because most of it we didn’t eat because of the carbs. A halal cart would have been cheaper. It wasn’t bad tasting though.

We headed off to Williamsburg to meet Elissa and co. I don’t remember what we were doing, but we ended up at Supercore on Bedford and drank sake. Elissa ordered the Beni-Tori with rice (simmered chicken in dark soy sauce, ginger, onion, sugar with soft boiled egg). It tasted pretty good.

Todd was trying to order food and I tried to stop him. We need to get serious with our bodies. I remember rambling on about Brad Pitt’s diet and workouts. There are actually websites about it –Bradpittdiet.com and Bradpittworkout.com. Okay, now that I got the carb cutting down, I need to work on cutting the drinking. I’d probably look like Brad Pitt by now.

Bereket Turkish Kebab House

After the Drink + Draw at Local 269, a few of the artists and I grabbed a bite at Bereket. I’ve walked by there so many times and surprisingly this is my first time stepping in. The kebab meat is grilled fresh to order. My friend ordered the chicken shish and I ordered the chicken kebab (spicy). I was almost positive they pulled out the same skewers for both of us. When I repeated my order to him, he was like “yeah, I got it” and winked at his co-worker. Somehow in the end, they were different (I think) and very good. I’ll be passing by a little less and stepping in more.

There’s a cartoon over the door on the inside of a fat baby in a diaper with green nipples, carving doner/gyro meat while feeding a snake –to tell you that the ATM is outside 24 hours.

Later that evening around 3am, I almost called Rob, who was holding my drawings, to tell him to add to one of them where I had Dracula and a talking balloon that said “I luv fooseball” –I wanted him to make it say “I luv American fooseball.” Maybe too much drink and not enough draw.

Döner Turkish Food

Stumbled upon this new Döner Turkish pita sandwich place on their opening day with Yoshie and Rob. What is Döner? I guess like gyro? I guess like swarma? Taste & looks like that. The people there were really nice.

Then Georgia’s surprise birthday with condom balloons …only because they couldn’t find regular balloons.
