It wasn’t as cold as it has been over the last few weeks so I took a walk over to Greenpoint today to mail a few letters and shop for soup ingredients. I am making a potato-cauliflower soup tonight and I needed to pick up the cauliflower and garlic but ended up also getting chives and an extra bag of potatoes.
It was a good walk. On the way I passed: a house that looks like it could have been home to Norman Bates, some groovy street art and a little delivery truck with a mustache drawn on it’s back.

Groovy street art aside I actually didn’t intend on going to Greenpoint today. I needed to mail a couple letters and it was the nearest post office to me.

More fun Williamsburg graffiti. Found this painted outside of the Drum Shop.
Ain’t that the truth!!!

I think this Dead Fly Art is hilarious.

Not sure who created these adventurous insects but the writing is Swedish.

Hahahaha!

Walking in Murray Hill (NYC neighborhood) the other day, I stumbled along a happy surprise.

In the middle of the crosswalk lay this little fella. I thought he was kind of cute so I took a photo. The little robot is permanently affixed to the cement some kind of tape or something. That’s why I love NYC, you never know, where you will find your next happy surprise.

Everyone has doodled on a napkin at one time or another, but what do you do when you have no napkin to draw on? Apparently anything! Artist Cheeming Boey sells his miniature styrofoam cup masterpieces for up to $220 in art galleries. And to think I was just tossing my used cups out!

I’ve really been taking advantage of all the free summer events in NYC this summer. Saturday, I attended the Siren Festival at Coney Island with some friends visiting from Denmark. We watched the bands all day. Standouts: Spanx Rock from B’More, Monotonix and The Ravonettes. That night, to avoid the post festival subway crowds, we hung out on the beach amongst the disgusting piles of garbage, swapped stories about trips to foreign lands and got our feet wet in the dirty sea. Here are some photos for you to enjoy. :>
The Ravonettes at the Siren Festival, Coney Island, NYC.
We spent a majority of our time behind this wire fence which separated the beer garden from the audience. It was off stage right and we had a perfect view most of the time. Here you can see our friend Anders enjoying some tunes sans t-shirt.
Beautiful view of the Wonder Wheel at sunset. This was just about the time the Ravonettes wrapped up their set.

I have a friend visiting from Denmark right now and we have been doing a lot of walking around the city. Yesterday, we caught the Gay Pride parade down in the West Village. It was so much fun!!

The energy was electric, so many happy people. I love watching the drag queens and many creative floats (a lot of gay marriage themed). By the time we reached the parade it had been going for about 5 hours and still no end in sight.
