hello people!
So, here's what's been going on for the last few weeks:
+ finished up the gig at the warehouse in astoria...thank grodd! We were there from 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. every saturday and sunday, which wasn't too bad, but the trains were suckin', so add on at least another 2 hours each day...and that became a drag! Made some mad money off of the project, though.
+ Last night was a catering gig that went pretty well. The food (sweet-spicy nuts, hummus, avjar, pita, dolmades, 2 types of crostini, oatmeal-raisin-pecan cookies, date cake, almond shortbread cookies and this amazing peanut butter no-bake bar that I left at home...d'oh!) was well received at the gallery. I guess they normally had crappy stuff from the store and this was a change for 'em. Two funny things happened: there was this kinda older woman who just looked "used" and had cloying has-been stripper perfume proceeded to eat more food than would be socially acceptable at an opening. I guess she figured that her entrance fee meant she was entitled to a full meal. and booze...
The other funny character was this dude and his friend who I thought were homeless. These guys were full-on bums. Anyway, one guy procceded to double-dip his pita into the hummus! Then started to jam his fingers into the hummus and had the shit hanging off of his face, which found it's way back into the hummus and pita. I flipped out -- turns out he was stinking drunk and left after I tossed out both his beer and the hummus / pita he'd been digging into.
So I talk with the gallery founder about this guy and it turns out that he's the son of the people who founded People Magazine and supposedly had "amazing" connections. But even that night the gallery was basically ready to throw this bum out anyway. Fuckin' rich people...
Today's run was tougher than normal -- 18 hours yesterday on my feet (and no break) = sore, tired legs today.
+ Tomorrow's the Be@rbrick show! I managed to get into the very exclusive opening party, thanks to a guy over at NIKE. I'll post some pictures, or you can get full coverage on my site Kubrick World
+ Things are going really well with the new girlfriend. It's really strange -- she's way, way out of my league on looks, but she seems to dig me. and is the proverbial "tiger in bed". Meow! Met some of her friends and they're all damn cool and it seems like they liked me...which is good.
So it's a nice change from ALL of the girls I've seen since I moved out here. No insecurities, no lies, totally honest and has a good head on her shoulders. And...she's into me (as odd as that is to me).
Enjoy the day!

For some reason it always reminds me of that classy toy stuff you always talk about.
