Fall Happenings in Soho -

Here are a few shots from Fuerza Bruta - a show no pictures (or second-hand explanation) can do justice.


The one good thing that came from the San Gennaro (the 10-day event with 2 million visitors that happened on my front step), was the cool sign I got from a vendor. And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street!

Mud Run in the Bronx


A movie theater nearby. Expensive, but cool - the theaters are all in the underground level.

Did I Just See That? (2)

Midterms and other random hecticness associated with City life have kept me from being as regular as I had hoped with this. Here are a few of the many unbelievable things I've seen recently - 

  • I witnessed the "Beat a Bubble-wrapped Boy with a Bat for a Buck" fundraiser "in full swing". An organization was holding this event in a campus building...I'm not sure how long it lasted before it was shut down
  • A student being handcuffed up against the library wall
  • A man walking down my street with a cat on his head
  • A 4-car cop chase that led to the cop cars FLYING through a busy intersection (causing several near accidents), so finally the driver of one of the cop cars grabbed his megaphone and yells "GET OUT OF THE WAY." That's right, NYC police mean business.
  • And a shrine outside the Apple store when Steve died - I thought the apples on the ground were an especially nice touch :)
