well i have just committed the most visceral assault on my body imaginable. Been to NYC for a week of vodka and cheeseburgers (and a few sites as well) met lots of great people, not least bartenders in various East Village and Lower East Side dive bars. NY is hard work though, I put in the miles during the day no mistake. Saw Goldie Lookin' Chain out there, and also a great show at the Mercury Lounge - Say Hi To Your Mom, The Fatales, The Izzys and the 22-20s. I'm a big fan of the 22-20s but The Fatales, were outstanding, while owing no small debt to Radiohead and Joy Division, with a similarity to Interpol and the Walkmen.
Probably was a mistake to land at 9am back at Heathrow, and then without any sleep embark on a 12 hour drinking marathon with my flatmate in a local pub and club. Needless to say the jetlag is still around.
Still back to work tomorrow (4 hours of filling in expense forms will be done more assidulously than any actual work, my bank balance is screwed) and I'm trying to look on this trip as a kind of new start, which means eating better, keeping the flat habitable, kicking on at work and updating this thing more! I'd better do a few decent pictures for this as well but might wait till the flatmate is out for that one
