FRI 30th APR : APT 5
Met the Lady and her father after work to toast the deposit of 10% on the apartment!
Now to get past the Co-op Board!!
They look into every financial detail you could imagine. Sounds like a nightmare.
The Lady is even omitting to tell them that I'm moving in... or maybe that's a cue...
Off to Philadelphia for the weekend.

THURS 29th APR : OASIS THEN DESERT
The problem with these beautiful spring evenings is that if you go out to enjoy them you end up in an arrid patch between the time everyone goes home and the time everyone comes out.
Tonight (after tripping up the steps) I joined Phil USA at a seat overlooking the sidewalk at Cafe Noir on Grand for a Stella about 6pm. Everyone was happy - no one laughed (much) when I tripped over - the bar man even ran to get me an emergency pint.
After a couple of pints we made our way through Soho over to Cafe Lika in Lower East Side to meet people and sit in their back yard to quaff a Hoegarden or two and smoke cigarettes. For a moment we could have been in a chilled court yard hidden in Ibiza Town (if you didn't notice the Turkish-Techno art on the wall inside the cafe - but then again...)
Around 9pm everyone went home so Phil and I thought we'd hit some of the bars.
Tragedy. Angel was dead, Max Fish was dead, everywhere was bloody dead. We'd hit the twilight - and had drunk not enough so we still wanted more, but too much to know so we couldn't last until everyone came out later.
We ended our evening early watching a chapter of Lost Boys motor bikers revving their engines from an empty bar on the corner of 2nd and A.
Gosh, I miss 11pm closing times.
Gosh

SUN 25th APR : USA MEDIA
Much of the day was spent in a daze. Decided to do some catching up with the news only to be disappointed.
I used to be one of those ex. pat Brits who defended Americans ignorant view of the world around them by saying that America is so huge that there's enough going on already in America. What an idiot I was/am:
No doubt there is a hell of a lot of important, interesting and culturally news worthy events happening within the USA as there are around the world. American's aren't culturally ignorant because they are self absorbed - the American press fails to even provide a diverse education of what's going on within it's own borders.
Want an example? The Sunday version of New York Times, I guess, actually runs only 4 stories every week and then writes stories around them: at the moment these focus on Iraq, Bush/Kerry, New York real estate, Isreal. I gave up long ago trying to find European or World news (or the results of the most popular sports in the world) through the American Media and now I realise that I know nothing of America either because the media seems to be self obsessed with providing deep focus on so few stories.

SAT 24th APR : WEDDING PT 2
Saturday - sweet wedding in the Village and then reception at old seaman's club in Wall Street area. Started off with decent rum drink and shaking hands and ended up rolling around. Great steak for dinner and speeches then the Lady dragged me onto the dance floor and ensured I danced all night to keep me out of mischief - there are pictures of me dancing with everybody from small children to old ladies. Managed to sneak a few drinks in. Ended up drinking Weiss Beer in a British bar.

FRI 23rd APR : WEDDING PT 1 - THE REHEARSAL
Weekend was good: Wedding.
Friday went to a rehearsal dinner for the wedding at a Arqua in Tribeca. Rehearsed my drinking particularly well. So much so that the Lady dragged me home from the after party in Tribeca Grand. Supposedly - once I realised that she was getting the hump with me, I started acting up only when she looked at me (i.e. crazy dancing, speed drinking) etc. I can't any of remember this of course. Oh, shook the hand of the most famous(?) quarter back in the NFL (Donovan McNab)- against the wishes of the Lady too!

FRI 23rd APR : APT 4!
She got it! They accepted the offer on the apartment!
So you'd expect her to call me and say, 'I'm so happy' - but maybe I wasn't, 'where are you? At work?! Why aren't you here?! This is supposed to be the happiest day of my life and you're at work!'
Sometimes there's no reasoning with the Lady's logic.

THUR 22nd APR : BARNET CHOP
Surprised the boss by coming in with a new haircut.... I think he was expecting the short back and sides / I think he was hoping for that - I don;t think he really sees me as looking very Amercian.
The Lady was a little shocked and asked me how much it costs.
My brief to the rock guy at Rare with long bleached hair: umm, you know - I didn;t really want to get it cut. . He says, 'you don't have to say a thing.' And I didn't. 45 minutes later and I have still got the mop and the Lady thinks that I have delusions to be a rock star.
A washed up aging one, maybe.

WED 21st APR : APT 3
The Lady got stressed about what to do with the apartment offer
Guy IM says: >> It's not your job to make anyone rich. xxx is a decent price and if anybody else wants to make that paris b#tch rich then that's their job.Lady IM says: if i stick to xxx, i lose it and that's what i need to deal with. i don't think she's a bitch either -- the agent wants to get as much money for himself and his client as he can
Hmmm, Guy's advice goes down well again. 5 minutes pass....
Lady IM says: i'm really stressed sweets... feeling like my broker is tricking me too.
Time to call in the Lady's father me thinks....
We met after work and we popped in to Pianos bar in Lower East Side to a party to 'listen to the first ever play of Morrissey's new album' held by Spin Magazine. You'd have thought they would have invited a load of trendies to listen and spread the word but it was full of the usual record company crowd mixed with journalists and industry hangers on tying to get at the free beer. eh? Wonder if the old flop head's going to make enough to cover the bar bill?

TUE 20th APR : APT 2
The Lady went and saw the apartment again today with her broker. She had been thinking about putting it all through the broker who was selling - but you could sense that he was all about the money.
She placed an offer at 5% over the asking price and we waited until the evening when she received the call.
She was down to the last 4. It was down to the Best & Final offer - to be received by Friday.
What now?

MON 19th APR : APT BUY
Wow. Finally the Lady finds an aprtment she wants at a very good price. An alcovve studio on West 11th by Washington, south facing and done up by an architect. So now we need to think how much she should put in for an offer and whether she uses her broker.

MAD CHAP ON HUDSON II
So I find myself following the Mad Chap from Palestine(?) in Rite Aid on Saturday. A sign on his back says 'Stop dropping smart bombs on our dumb asses'.
He seems to know everyone by name.
At the pharmacist counter he asks one of the girls whether they have anything that can help him get a date after 14 years of trying.
Looking at him I think of a few non-herbal suggestions..... but then I just take this photo with my phone:

SUN 18th APR : ALMOST HOME
After granting the Lady a couple of hours of my time walking around over priced, poorly decorated, very small apartment spaces where my only entertainment was suggesting rather loudly that we had a strong drink as we passed West Village's AA shack; we had lunch in Le Jardin.
The restaurant is a very special place for me and the Lady. It's where we had our first date in the city four years ago. Memories of conversation in a chilled atmosphere during a long long night. So much so that I imagin the staff had decided to make our Sunday lunch/brunch a bit different: slow service, chaotic ordering and the kitchen closed at 3.30pm so our late arrival (her brother) couldn't eat.
We took a quick escape to Brooklyn (actually it wasn't that quick. It took about an hour to get to Atlantic Avenue!!) to attend drinks to celebrate Phil USA and Andrew and Becca's birthdays. An afternoon of English Sunday pub drinking was held at Casper Jones off 5th Ave on Bergen Street. Ahh, the memories... if I could remember them.
I can still remember the 'dirty bird' I had on the way home though...

SAT 17th APR : SOFIA and ME
Whilst the Lady went on a sophisticated night out 'Bachelorette Stylee' I blagged into an art gallery opening (Elizabeth Payton) down the road (Gavin Brown's Enterprise). Lots of celebs I didn't recognise. Esp. as I had my eyes on the free beer.
Did notice Sofia Coppola standing next to me waiting to get to the make shift bar. I was hoping some of her Oscar winning screenwriting talent would rub off on me but instead she dashed away into the gap at the bar for her bottle of Amstel Light. Cheeky cow.
Skinny Legs too....

Sun shining. Going to reach 80 on Monday. Nice to know there's not going to be any spring this year - just a switch to hot summer.... got my speedos ready.
So boss told me after yesterday's events that I was cool. His only criticism was that I shouldn't have done the other guy's work for him.
Sounds good to me. Feet up on desk today / look at street art whilst talking on my cell.

THUR 15th APR : YANKING THE CHAIN
Sun is shining but I have had a terrible day.
I know I posted the other day that I can't post about work but I've already had enough.....
After putting up with three weeks of this one fo the chaps that's working at this start up ad agency as a so called 'Creative Director', and mate of the boss, I flounced today.
The guy just hasn't produced one bit of work and i feel like I've been carrying him for weeks. So much so that I have been coming up with lots of creative ideas for a current project only for him to piss all over. Today the Boss was in in Boston and the Creative Cock comes in after noon and I say what do you think of my new xyz idea for the concept for the project that's already three weeks late. He says he can't understand it and maybe because he can't get his head around a 'Media Sales Presentation' (i.e. the job we've been hired to do on the back of some branding work). I say, well my concept is the sort
of thing we've been looking from him to deliver - he pisses on idea again. I walk out muttering something like I'm not going to work with him any more, bollocks.
Went out, bought myself a couple of shirts, wondered the streets of SoHo for a couple of hours. Realised that my cell phone was on my desk. Came in and he goes, "are you ok?" I flounce again, "It's all over, I'll talk to the Boss about leaving"
I pick up various odds and ends and flee the scene. Walk home, leave message on the boss' voicemail that I'm not going to work with such a useless so and so.
Of course, feel like a twat for blowing out like that but the boss just gave me a call and said he's fine with what I did - that we'll all get together and talk it through - good ole Yanks. The Lady has told me that when this happens that I am not allowed to really tell the Creatvie Director what I really think of him. Calling people c*nts doesn't go down well here supposedly. I think the word is reserved for using against women or something. How very American.
Went for a run down the river like Sebastian Coe, got dehydrated, went to El Sombrero on Stanton with some Brits, where everybody dismissed the new interior and how they missed the cockroaches on the floor, and had a few pints and a game of pool (English rules) in the soon-to-be-closed Luna Bar on Ludlow.
Ended in Mekong in Prince Street boring the ear off a guy who's given up his job to be a screenwriter. "From my experience mate. Don't bother," I say.

Sounds great... but does that mean that when I'm out with the boys on one of those quiet nights the Lady's going to track me down easier???

MAD CHAP ON HUDSON
I wonder what's up with the guy who hangs with a doll outside the red cafe on Hudson Street?
He wears a Middle Eastern head scarf, flared jeans, thick headphones, mirrored aviators and a white scarf around his neck with the word 'asshole' written on it.
I mean.... I was wearing that in 98.

I ask, where do you live?
He replies, Bayswater.
I say, oh I've got some friends who live in Westbourne Gardens.
He says, I live there!
A couple I know - very good friends live at number 31.
He lives at 29.
I mention their names.
He repeats them in thick Turk! That guy is always drunk, I always see his wife carrying him home, he laughs.
What a reputation! You're half way round the world and a guy you meet in a pub tells you a story about a piss head mate of yours.
I am very envious, obviously.

FRI 9th APR : CHILLED FRIDAY IN BROOKLYN
Bunked off on Friday as the Lady had a day off. People in America need more time off!!!
Went up to Brooklyn for a little explore - and to try to convince her that it may be worth a move out here....
Started at Smith Street - a fairly nice neighbourhood called Carrol Gardens - it has a few boutiques mixed in with the older locals shops - a bit like Crouch End! Then walked down through Fulton Street Market - which is like Oxford Street on a bad day and then over to Brooklyn Heights at the north west corner of Brooklyn.
 |
A built up hill that overlooks the south side of Manhattan - nice, smart, boring. Got a promenade overlooking the financial district and the rest of the city.
 |
We walked down under the Brooklyn Bridge and into a developing district called DUMBO. A small area under the bridges. Had Pizza at a great local place called Patsy's (altho the name on the door is different). Had coffee, mooched around, looked in arty and furniture stores.
 |
Then we went over to one of my favourite places in Brooklyn: Vingear Hill: a small quiet old town that New York seems to have forgotten. Will take some more photos next time...

TUE 6th APR - EEK A MOUSE!
After a run down the river (after 6pm!) and after a great Brazilian meal at the reopened Delcia, the Lady and I went down to the Knitting Factory on Leonard Street in Tribeca to watch old reggae favourite Eek A Mouse.
 |
At last a crowd who moved to the beat of the band! OK, mainly college kids in surf brand T shirts - and they smoked a lot but they were a little encouraged by the Eek:
"How~are~you~fee-ling~today?" "Who~are~you~smoking~ganga~with~tonight?"
Good venue. And the music was fine - altho the Lady was a little curious why he didn't play any tracks from his latest sales-challenged hip-hop fusioned CD...

SUN 4th APRIL : SMOKED THAI
After a little bit of flat/apt hunting we dropped down in the afternoon to 5th Avenue Brooklyn to go see Andrew play some records at the Casper Jones Lounge (440 Bergen Street). It was fairly quiet but we're encouraging Andrew to keep a regular spot. Am dreaming of an excuse for everyone to meet up on Sunday afternoons and drink a glass of wine or two - a la London stylee.
 |
The kick off went well and after 4 or five unplanned beers ended up the road with a gang of Brits in a Thai restaurant that had ok Mojitos but no extracter-fan on the open planned kitchen. Can still smell the Satay in my skin three days later....

FRI 2nd APRIL : BACH PARTY
The following has been adapted as I learn that the fiancee of the stag may read this - what does she expect?. Please choose the story you wish to believe....
On Friday I had a big/quiet but chilled/manic stag night. A cool and vaired bunch of guys/hookers hanging out supported with a little assistance/no bras. Kicked off at the Pioneer Bar/Hogs n Heifers on the Bowery (which is perfect for a big group of guys btw), ventured elsewhere/stayed there all night long and then ended up in an illegal drinking joint filled with lots of people illegally drinking etc. / went and got an early breakfast in.
Got home at 6am / 3pm and the lady was fine!!! /crazy!!! Must set her expectations again sometime / not tell her what I'm doing at all.

THUR 1st APR : INDIAN EYE
I had to spend a lot of time making up to the Lady. I had been out Wednesday (and failed to call in after 9pm) and it was apparently all my fault that the apartment wasn't fully cleaned and the food ready for the guests about to arrive.
But - I have to admit, the Lady is a marvel. She must have a magic wand and despite my poor imitation of helping everyhting turns out wonderfully. Tonight she cooked vegetarian curry. Everyone loved it. She even warmed to me (the big bunch of flowers helped). I also agreed to go out for a quick night cap with the couple we had over (even though my hang over from the night before was still kicking in).
We dropped in to see a very cool arty crowd at the FLIP THE SCRIPT party at P-13(?) at 52 Walker Street. The Smiths and the Cure coming from the turntables, lots of odd hairstyles. The Lady beginning to totter.
We left after a short term of people watching and ended up in the Liquor Bar. We sat at a table beside this cute Australian shephard dog called Clio. The Lady picked it up for a cuddle. I got drinks from the bar: there I thought I saw Jackie Stewart (British Racing driver from the 70s bon vivant): tight pants/trousers, snug leather jacket, blonde hair long over his collar. But it wasn't it was someone else I couldn't place. The Lady saw who I was looking at, dropped the dog and stumbled over and nudged me whilst smiling at him - oh, it's the blond geezer from Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. Alright, Lady, you don't need to make a scene.
I think another one was there but I haven't watched the show much so I couldn't confirm. Anyway, I returned to my seat trying to avoid his attention: not in a homophobic way - I just worried that he'd pop over and say, "Hey - you'd be perfect for my show!" It was hard to not be noticed. The Lady was on her hands and knees looking for the dog. "CLIO!" she screamed. "CLIO!"
Alright, Lady, you don't need to make a scene.
The dog wasn't having any of it though. Nor the owner. She picked the dog up and left with Mr Q-Eye immediately.
Maybe QEFSG Blondie may now think the Ladie's perfect for his new show!

Brits show the way on Culture Rage!
Trend Central reports a new Brit rage:
Trendsetting Brits are tiring of popular culture.
The Brits are notorious for various types of rage, from “road rage” to “air rage” to the more obscure “wrap rage” (anger about not being able to open products due to too much wrapping). Now, trendsetting Brits are taking a stand against mass-produced popular culture, calling it “culture rage”. Tired of over-produced singers entering the music charts and reality TV stars taking the spotlight, young passionate Brits are fighting back. The relaunch of UK magazine Sleazenation (now called Sleaze) made its return with the front cover showing a burning photo of Victoria Beckham (wife of football icon David Beckham, former Spice Girl, and current pop culture sensation) and words that read “Celebrity Burnout, reclaiming culture from the people who are destroying it”. In his latest single “Freaking Out,” Graham Coxon (former lead singer of Blur) uses lyrics that imply UK society is becoming prefabricated and boring: “TV got me going blind/And I'm really freaking out. .Nothing to see nothing to hear.”
“Culture rage” is further being seen in nightlife with London trendsetters turning their backs on super clubs and choosing something a little more cultural and even educational. The “in” place of the moment is The Modern Times Club (held at the Great Eastern Club), where top tunes from the ’30s to ’50s are on the playlist and the promoters offer a night of “sparkling conversation and the finest attire”.
While we certainly don't expect celebrity fascination to go away anytime soon, with the US not far behind in terms of our obsession with reality TV and overnight sensations, we could soon find trendsetters being more vocal about their demands for authenticity and originality from celebrities.
