When I say “Hello Brooklyn,” in my mind, I hear the Beastie Boys
I got here to New York yesterday and it’s been go! go! go! ever since.
This is why I live in Ohio because otherwise I’d be dead from sheer exhaustion.
Heck, I should be sleeping now.
Last night? The Long Count opened, which is part of the reason I’m here. I had no idea what to expect from this visual and musical collaboration and I found it to be weird and wonderful and exhilarating. I’m not good with words, Brooklyn Vegan puts them together real good (and has a sample MP3) as bonus.
Today? Woke up way early and made it down to the chock-full-of-awesome-people Studio 612a where I finally, after years of online fawning, met The Swiss Miss live and in person.
First words? “Oh my you’re tall!”
A bit of chat, gushing, 30 questions, some of the most excellent coffee one can make without a barista on hand, then it was time to get down to survey the possibilities with FictiveKin.
Not sure exactly what will be packed in the next few days, but I am reminded that any trip to New York is too short.
Current music:
The Long Count Bull Run featuring Kelley Deal
