HGM Weekend

Mike came to town this past weekend to mix a little business with pleasure.
We hit up Prime Meats in Carroll Gardens for some warm afternoon Weisswurst, beer and wine.
The show at Crash Mansion was maybe not what Mike was hoping for, but it was still fun to hear HGM play and then hit up Jones....looking forward to our trip to N.C. in May.

Very Exciting!

Thanks to Scott, the super-shopper, for finding this...It has been about 13 years since I've had honey nut anything and was just telling him the other day how I much I was craving that taste. I may or may not have sent an email to General Mills thanking them...

UPDATE: GM wrote back the following nice letter indicating more sugary gluten-free cereals are on the way:

Dear Valued Consumer:

Morbid Anatomy

Scott and I stumbled on this great museum/library on the Gowanus Canal the other day called Proteus Gowanus. They have a vintage library with the most amazing old, out-of-print books on natural curiosities and such.

As it turns out, they are getting ready to add a morbid anatomy section to the library. It will house Joanna Ebenstein's ever-growing collection of books, catalogs, photographs, articles, ephemera and artifacts exploring the interstices of art and medicine, death and culture. I can't wait to get back and check it out. In the meantime, here is her blog, which facinated me for hours and some of my favorite images from it: http://morbidanatomy.blogspot.com/

Cat Fancy

Mike's Moon

Roller Jammin'

We drove to Staten Island for some "Adult Night" roller action.

I'm famous!
