this weekend: green street, vulpesvulpes, & wellness exchange.

[via Sauce For Thoughts]

The ever lovely/quirky Tanya (& her band, VulpesVulpes) and the slightly odd A-Live (& his Green Street gang) will be performing at Webster Hall this coming Friday night. They'll be playing with The Wellness Exchange, which may or may not relate to NYU's Wellness program...someone can clarify that for me.

You can check out VulpesVulpes here
and download Green Street's new album [FREE] here.

Friday, April 30th at 8:00PM
Webster Hall
125 East 11th Street between 4th Avenue & 3rd Avenue
New York, NY 10003

Also see the Facebook event here!

Hope to see you guys there...I'll be there late, but you'll see me looking like a purple fairy. Kid you not.

corned beef & bok choy.

...is what my mom ended up making for dinner.

The quarter (to whole) green-blooded, freckled-face, "top-o'-the-mornin'-to-ya" self kept it very low-key this year. I didn't even bust out the green eyeliner (mostly because I'm on Long Island currently and I left it in my apartment in Manhattan).

I did retire the green donuts, Dr. Seuss t-shirt, and Notre Dame lacrosse hat and upgraded to some Marc Jacobs apparel (birthday gift via Jin). Celebrated with some fellow Irishmen (and -women) of the Town of Babylon.



And now for my fighting Irish face.


Lastly, tradition: A viewing of my favorite [deleted] scene from Boondocks Saints. Apologies for the crudeness...but it's great.

hearts all over the world tonight.

Actually, just SoHo. And more specifically Broadway from Houston down to Canal.










Houston to Prince (look for the one heart stamped on the Prada store, bt-dubs).

Battle wounds.

yesterday, i discovered my fear of guns.

After a few hours of watching Brian pack to once again leave New York and head back to Hong Kong, Mike and I got a bit tired and invaded his brother's room for a nap. A good while into our attempt to sleep on the twin-sized bed (fortunately, we are both "little people" as he said), Michael grunted in discomfort and went to adjust something around his waist area, just beneath his shirt. I figured he was fixing his belt until I heard something hit against metal. The noise was definitely too loud and solid to be from a belt buckle. I opened my eyes and what did I see lying right next to me? HIS GUN. This is no euphemism. I do mean his bullet-filled people-shooting gun sitting in his holster sitting right next to my thigh. After a slight freakout on my end, he took it off, took out the bullets, and placed it on a table before returning to sleep.

I decided to get up and try on more of Brian's overly large clothes instead.

I also made a note to myself to always make sure from now on that I check to see if the person I'm sharing a bed/cot/mattress/whatever with isn't carrying a loaded weapon.


Don't be fooled by the cute hat (which isn't even his) or the boyish smile. The NYPD gives guns out to 28-year-old ManBoys like this.

Somewhat unrelated: Brian owns the world's largest beater, as displayed by Michael.



Brian's essentials that he's bringing back to Hong Kong. Haha.

& I enjoy trying on every single article of Brian's closet as he packs.

Lose 10 pounds in 10 days! You can do it too!

Cake, card games, & interesting characters. Good times.

BEATCAKES PRESENTS GREEN STREET & DJ YEHO.o 11/19!! from Beatcakes on Vimeo.

For those of you who missed it Thursday night, there were indeed glowsticks and cupcakes. The cupcakes were pretty delicious too.
I almost didn't go but fortunately my roommate dragged me downtown to the LES. Not only were the performances fresh and the people chill, but the venue (Gallery Bar) is definitely a spot to hit up. Art gallery by day, lounge by night.

Once I have time (& patience) to upload my own pictures, I definitely will. But in the meantime, I'll leave you with some stolen photos from Green Street Records, courtesy of CMCstyles photography.

day of pretend!

Haven't uploaded pictures, so these are stolen<3



6'5" lumberjacks with wrong axes & pirates with umbrellas & cute Pippi & itty bitty Lilo (& Stitch).

Realization of the night: When Pippi & Lilo unite forces, the Yankees go from losing to winning. You're welcome, New York.

since birth.

i want so badly to believe


that there is truth, that love is real.


& i want life in every word,


to the extent that it's absurd.
