NYC, Christmas '07
Well, I was in the Big Apple, the city of dreams, american dreams, for a couple of weeks. It was awesome as expected, except that there was NO SNOW. Anyway...
Uninteresting photo of the Chelsea Hotel, location of many culturally important events and debauches.
Brian eating a doubles. A delicious Trinidadian concoction involving two greasy little fladbreads, smushed together around curry-chickpea mush with hot sause and tamarind chutney. All this for only a measly dollar! In Crown Heights, Brooklyn, 5min walk away from where we were staying. What a greasy little treat.
ART. This is a piece by Urs Fischer in which he took a jackhammer to the floor of the gallery, and excavated a big hole like 12 feet deep or so. Wow! So subversive! Really questioning the notion of the Gallery, Urs! No actually it was pretty good. Look at Brian standing in the hole - I bet he got dirty shoes! Also notice that every single person is wearing black. It is the way of the New Yorker. On that day I was wearing white and red, like a cheerful little Santa Claus in comparison.
Oh yeah, and this is a photo of me eating part of Paul McCarthy's art which was entitled Santa With ButtPlug. Long story. Anyway the art was made from chocolate and it was pretty tasty.
Oh yeah, and this is me eating a piece of
Grand Central Station (or whatever it's called)! A ridiculous light show! You can't hear the patriotic and Christmassy songs that were playing, but they were sure playing.
Cat with scarf. We cat-sat this cat and made him wear a scarf sometimes. I think he was into it. Have I turned into one of those people who takes millions of photos of cats and posts them on the internet??? Uh oh. Time for an intervention...
Xmas eve at the apartment, festive meal of fake meat sausages and mashed potatoes. Brian was wearing a little Colonel Sanders red tie to mark the occasion.
Ice skaters in Central Park on Xmas day - so romantic! La la la! We ate hot candied nuts and walked all around, everyone was out in the park walking off their turkey. It was VERY nice.
Obligatory subway shot.
Friend Susy and her (TWIN!) sister, and her boyfriend, in Katz's, the famous NY Jewish deli, and home of the equally famous when Harry met Sally "I'll have what she's having" fake orgasm scene. Katz's was PACKED and I just ate pickles because most things were meat and cream cheese, two undesirable foods. The place is so Authentic that it is constantly thronged with tourists (like us! although of course I like to pretend that I'm really a local, but I'm not fooling anyone with my white and red couture!)
OOH ARTY. Brian as a blur in Chinatown.
Ok, well I'm not going to include any photos of famous things like the Statue of Liberty or whatever, but here's me in a bar! Way more exciting. I think this is Enid's in Nth Williamsburg/Greenpoint. That is NOT my purse behind me on the left, just so you know.
MOO. Some kind of stuffed water buffalo thing at the Natural History Museum, which totally was amazing.
Oh no, wait, here's the Statue of Liberty. Amazing, right. You have to take a boat to see it up close, and obviously I don't care about liberty that much.
Wooh! Back in California! Fuck yeah. Of course San Diego continues to be terrible, but there are some things you just can't deny, like sunsets and palm trees! Hmm...
Thank you New York for a good time!
