Greetings readers! Hope you are doing wonderfully. Allow me to start off with saying, this weekend was a fantastic success!! I don't think I have been as occupied with a variety of different activities such as this weekend.
After a few week stay in CT, I came back to the NY/NJ area for the weekend to celebrate my brothers birthday =) Yay!!!! After a HORRIBLE commute back to NJ, my brother and I promptly headed off into Brooklyn for an underground music show along with a couple of his friends. The bands were really good and the place was everything you would expect for an underground music venue. The entrance was a random door on a side street leading to stairs into a space right next to the subway tracks. It was awesome to see trains pass by through the window while swaying to he beat of the music. Inside it was an unfinished floor plan with a nice sized space for a stage. The best part of all was the size allowed for lots of interaction with the artists. I got to meet a few of the band members which was awesomeeee!! Following is a video of my favorite song of the night by Future Islands. The video is not of that night but I could not find anything else =/
Saturday I went to Queens in the morning then spent the rest of the afternoon NYC. That would make three boroughs and 2 states in less than 24 hours!! After a wonderful afternoon in my lovely city, I helped my brother get ready for an art show he has at Montclair. Apparently some of his professors really liked his work and asked him to set up an exhibit of some of his artwork for a couple of weeks in a gallery space at Montclair...YAY, MY BROTHER IS GOING TO BE FAMOUS!!!
And Saturday night , I met up with some old friends in the lovely town of Hoboken. The awesome part of nightlife in Hoboken is that is up to par with NYC without the hassle of trains!! Needless to say, spending time with old friends in another city I love was a fabulous time.
And that brings us to Sunday!! Sunday was pretty much dedicated to hanging out with my bro getting that art gallery set up. After it was all done, the hard work was worth it.
The first picture is of one entire wall. It a series of 11x18 prints put together very meticulously
Now my favorite!!!
And lastly - my pie adventures have not ceased!!! Last week I baked a Key Lime Pie, which was SCRUMPTIOUS.
Right now I have what smells like a delicious pumpkin pie finishing in the oven. Not sure what's next on the list but I was thinking blue berry for some reason...
My HW is still not done, but after this weekend, I know it wasn't meant to get done and that's what time after work is for!
congrats...
