More from the Weekend

I am really having trouble posting everything as it is happening.  More awesome stories from this past weekend with no pictures.

Woke up at Ty's pad in a haze, walked to store and impulsively bought a watch.

Walked around the rest of the day, occasionally glancing at my watch to see the time and then saying to myself, wow thats a nice watch.... This sometimes led me to trip or walk in to various signs or people.

Wandered around the Upper East Side trying to find a barber, stumbled upon the Czech Street fest instead.  Eat potato pancakes, kielbasa, sauerkraut, and pierogies.

Walked across Central Park, something that not surprisingly never gets old.

 Napped.  Woke up and went to high line to hang out with my friend Vanessa.  Wandered Greenwich Village and drank Sapporo on the steps of a church.

Took train back uptown, waited for Trevor to come over then hung out with Trevor.  Drank a bucket of beer with Trevor.  Trevor is the coolest kid I know from Sacramento.  Trevor is also the only kid I know from Sacramento.

  This is Trevor

Finished the night with one of the great movies of all time.  Can't remember at what time during the movie I fell asleep but it was definitely after my favorite line, "you'll get nothing and you'll like it!"

 Needless to say it was a good Saturday.

A Weekend Snippet

From now on I need to remember to bring my camera with me everywhere.  I wish I had pictures for this post.  The weekend started late this past Friday as I ventured over to the upper east side to my friend Ty's apartment. (Sidenote: Ty is one of the coolest dudes ever, one of my college roommates and I should devote an entire blog to him.)

     He is currently staying at his Aunt and Uncle's free of charge in a wonderful spacious pad.  I wish I had photos to show.  Our other roommate Cory ventured down from Boston for the night, as well as a friend originally from France but now living a few blocks away.  We started out night with some Jager and ventured south to Soho for a night of partying with friends.
     We met up with some Columbia kids at Welcome to Johnsons on Rivington I believe.  This bar had a great scene, nice folks a $2 PBRs.  Although it is an extreme cliche drinking this beer, on a grad students budget you just can't avoid it.  Over the course of an hour I met a bunch of new people from the Historic Preservation program, and after deciding we all needed to D-A-N-C-E we ventured to Darkroom.
      Darkroom should have an entire post dedicated to how awesome it is.  Its in the basement of a building on Ludlow near Houston.  It has the feel of a classic speakeasy on one side with wide booth tables and wall size mirrors and then an empty area with a DJ and small dance floor on the other side/room.  We danced all around for the next few hours, enjoying the night and rocking out. 
      Staying at Ty's place that night we were able to take a cab back for the same cost of riding the subway, I slept on the couch staying with the two guys I lived for a whole year again.  It was a great night.
