NYC for me? we'll see

[Dorothy Wood]

Hi, I might be going to new york this weekend. anybody got any tips? it's probably gonna be a drive all night friday, dance in the art parade saturday, sleep a bit, drive all day sunday thing.

also, tips for passing the time on such a long drive would be appreciated as well.

also, can cort and I sleep on your couch?

[yeahwho]

I was there last month, if you eat at Sardi's have the scallops. Tribeca area was the best.

I have no idea where you plan to park. Good Luck!

books on tape from cracker barrel and/or a book of logic problems.

p.s. most of the books at crackle barrel suck

Get a can of Krylon and come up with a wicked tag or stencil you can spray every 25 miles or so on the highway.

i heard that these's absolutely nothing to do in NYC

You can crash on my couch with my pops in law! He's here for 28 more days!

I usually catch a live show on Saturdays at Pianos.

I think I'm playing my first full set Sunday there. I'm calling them tomorrow just to make sure. Sucks that you're leaving then..

I had some pizza in Brooklyn in 2006 which was nice(y)

i'm going to NY at the end of september :)

i recommend DUMBO (http://dumbonyc.com/) in Brooklyn. my friends took me to a brilliant theatre production there a few years ago. it's an interesting area to walk around in general. that and willamsburg.

play "i spy" in the car.
you and cort can make a story up, each taking turns to map out a character's journey to, and adventures in, new york. then you can write it up on here when you get back. :o

my house is the geographic midpoint between new york and chicago


just saying

Yo on this sight http://www.city-data.com/city/Manhattan-New-York.html it says American Indians make up 17.4 percent of the population in Manhattan. Thats gotta be a typo or somethin right? It seems kind of high, but kool if true.

[taquitos]

^ that can't be true, must be some wak stats.

you like to ride your bike a lot... bring your bike and ride central park when its closed - its HUGE!

[Dorothy Wood]

I probably won't have time to do anything at all really. I'm going to perform in the art parade, and that'll be all day pretty much.

jabumbo, I'll be at your house with 11 people around 1 a.m. tomorrow night for snacks and bathroom breaks!

[YoungRemy]

Go to Blue Ribbon Restaurant on 5th Ave in Park Slope Brooklyn.
They have a sister sushi restaurant next door. I guarantee you the best dining experience. Go at like 12:30 AM

11 people? sheeeeeeeit, girl! i'll put a pie in the oven!

[Dorothy Wood]

yes! pie!

and I dunno if it's in soho. I don't know anything about new york, but it's the deitch art parade. it's pretty big I guess. yoko ono will be there!

this is crazy! I've been stressed out about it all day! it's hard to coordinate so many people so last minute. also, I have to pick up the stupid van and pay for it because nobody else can afford it (or they don't want to). and I left my stupid keys at work. rargh.


yay, road trip!

[Bob]

while you're in soho, you should also visit noho. weho is pretty good but eaho is overrated. don't even get me started on midho

[Dorothy Wood]

oh shit, I just accidentally got drunk and I have to go to a meeting about this whole thing in like 20 minutes. gahh! I was just trying to relax.

also, lol, bob.

NOHO is in Los Angeles, stupid.

[Bob]

NOHO is in Los Angeles, stupid.

uzaho

[Bjork]

uzaho

Like you'd know.

[Dorothy Wood]

I've got a check for $400 in my purse, I'm thinking I should just screw the van rental and buy a plane ticket for myself.

[venusvenus123]

just walk there, it'll be more interesting.

btw there is a noho in nyc, fyi.

Dont we pay to use the restrooms in NY? Last time I went to Mc Donalds and there were some long-ass lines for the laboratory.

Jamaica, Queens has great swapmeets. And Chi-towns stinks but it got some cool vanda;ism stuff from Swoon to Bones and Espo

[Dorothy Wood]

the parade is canceled. :( x 1000

[jabumbo]

you and cort can still share my bed?

[Dorothy Wood]

I hate hurricanes! they always ruin stuff!

[jabumbo]

what does a hurricane have to do with new york?


do art people melt in the rain?

[ericlee]

I was wanting to go to Astroland today since it's "officially" closing tomorrow but, it's raining like a mofo right now.

I hear the place is but a dump anyways.

[monkey]

i love astroland. it feels like the city used to. im so sad it's closing. so far, this storm is greatly disappointing me. TAME.

Yeah, thanks for clearing that up. I've seen it in movies and games and I really don't want to believe the bad things of it.

Is it still open Sunday or is it closing then?
