I was debating going to the Darkroom last night and see what I missed...yowza...

Lower East Side apt building = NY version of Melrose Place?

The New York Times looks into that. The building on Rivington is two blocks from my apartment. Interesting. For the record, I don't know anyone in my building.

Did you buy the new Strokes record yet??

I was talking to Fab (and his gal Drew) a week before the holidays. I ran into them at a Christmas party at Pianos in the lower east side. I wasn't sure that Fab would remember me since I hadn't seen him in a long time. But he did. He gave me a huge hug and said it was great to see me. What a sweetheart. He also said he was nervous about the new album coming out. So I'm going to make sure I buy a copy to support them. The single "Juicebox" has grown on me. You can see the new video here.

This just about sums it up!
