how about them white sox this year?

how was your day off?

The Friday game is at night, so if you have the time (don't spend a lot of time in Newark, there's really nothing to do), do some touristy things during the day. Maybe check out Central Park, Midtown, all of that stuff. Then, take the subway up to the game...grab a beer in one of the dive sports bars around the stadium (again, there isn't a whole lot going on around Yankee stadium besides the game). The area used to be pretty sketchy, but it's safe now--but be prepared to get shit if you're wearing your vintage Frank Thomas ChiSox shirt. After the game, you might want to head back to sleep, or go downtown Manhattan for drinks (more on that below).

Since the Saturday game is during the day, you should take the train afterward to Greenwich Village (the West Village), grab a beer and get dinner, then walk across town to the East Village and the Lower East Side (buy a map, and get a subway map for free at any subway kiosk!!), which is bar-central. It's a great area to bar-hop in, although there are a lot of people doing the same thing, so it can get pretty crowded. Double Happiness is a good place to start(I tend not to go out on saturdays in general because of the crowds, but this place is pretty big). It's on Mott St, right near Chinatown and Little Italy, on the lower East Side, which is probably your best area for finding a cool place to hang out.

Hopefully this is helpful. Again:
Midtown=touristy stuff, nice and clean, museums, Central Park, Times Square (worth seeing the neon at night)
Lower East Side/West Village/East Village=bars, clubs, CBGBs, great pizza (John's pizza on Bleeker[Lower East Side/Little Italy] is often called the best in the country)

Shit, that was longwinded. Basically, there is a lot to do.

If the sox can get one more pitcher (or if Lester keeps it up) I'd agree with you. I'm worried that the Tigers are going to be the White Sox of this year (mostly because I keep thinking they're going to fall apart).

LA sounds like fun.

they will indeed - at Subterranean again some time in July, actually. at least that's what they said on stage.

and yeah, there's not many reasons to turn down a trip to the strip club where someone else is paying.

good luck on your auditions.

holy crap dude! congrats on all the auditions. let me know how it turns out.

so how is it possible that bands can suck that bad, and not realize it? and who the hell makes the decisions on them actually playing live? geez

wow, you are a warrior, man. i hope you don't catch teh sick like i did. take it easy for a few nights.

i gotta work on those pictures i took, see if anyhting can be done with 'em.

hey, i hope you enjoyed your birthday, man!

too bad the Bulls couldn't have won one more for you. they put up a good fight, though, i'm proud of those boys.

Happy Belated Birthday!!

was that the shit or what?

sweet.

i'll probably get into the area via El by about 9... don't know yet if i'm meeting anyone beforehand anywhere else, but i'll give you a call if i am. otherwise, i'll just plan on seeing you there

the night of metal has left me with a buzzing left ear and a feeling of satisfaction.

great seeing you again man, and thanks for the lift.

suppose to rain tomorrow night.

ah, yes one of the few days of the year it's ok to start drinking at 8 am. that's an all day drunkfest.

how were the deftones last night?

ha, i watched american idol with the room mate the other night, it was definately....ummm...on tv.

i'm hoping for 23 to be a good year, i seemed to set myself up a lot in 22 to prepare for now, so i hope it all works out.

it was a great time, man. and i feel you on the late wake-up call. i dozed in and out of consciousness on the couch all day in front of a bunch of NBA games.

i look forward to the next time we get our rock and roll on.

I've seen B.B. King three times. He is amazing.

I usually wake up thirsty & wanting some spicey stuff. hangovers suck though.
