A few interesting notes. Well, maybe they are only interesting to me.
1) I have now seen two different people on different occasions wearing a T-shirt that reads ITHACA IS GORGES. Is it just me, or is that slogan hilarious? Hooray for mountainous terrain.
2) I have been thinking lately how weird it is that I have never watched "Seinfeld." I watched part of an episode the other night though. It was actually pretty funny. I bet that's an understatement to all you "Seinfeld" fans. No offense or anything.
Oh yeah, just one more thing. The Go-Go's "Beauty and the Beat" is like, the best album ever. Speaking of 1980s music...lots of people here in NYC seem to have access to VH1 Classics. I don't get that on my tele. Does it run 80s videos all day? I'm jealous!
I would like to send a special shout-out to my homegirl Jen, whose new website looks fantastic!
Man in Gray is playing yet another show tomorrow night, this time at Acme Underground in the East Village. Check out the band site for all the details. Man, they should really start compensating me for all this website publicity.
