yo! watsup man?

before i go on about the latest news... i am still cameraless except for my phone camera..... i have just bought a data cable off ebay, so i hope to be sharing my cheesy phone pics really soon (that would be orange american cheddar kind...mmmmm).

things have been busy as per usual (except work... i am a little slow right now, not too much on for me). last friday night alicia and i went to a great wedding down in battery park. it was for a lesbian couple who are good friend of alicia's. we all had heaps of fun, drank alot and danced real goofy until it was time to leave. we all walked up to hanover lane to a pub and ak & i were gonna kick on but we decided to head home cos we were going on a drive the next day to wedding number (2). got home around 2am... not too bad... could be worse.

saturday we struggled to get up early, we had to catch the 10:48am LIRR train to massapequa to hire our avis car for the weekend.... getting a car from long island is like 1/3 the price of getting one in the city.... but sheeezzzz it is an effort getting out there.... CRIKEY!!.... we didn't have the option and in the end $120.00 all up for a whole weekend is really hard to beat. i was on driving duty, for the whole weekend.... alicia claimed she had a sore finger or something and wouldn't get within 10' of the wheel.... hmm... so i drove and she directed pretty much every lane change for the first half of the trip. it was a real head fake for a while, being on the wrong side of the road and all..... but you quickly get used to it and i think because i hadn't driven for a year i had kinda unlearnt a few habits. it took ages to get there (new hampshire that is). we had all these less than semi-purposeful detours to try and find cool hiway attractions that would end up me driving into some vacant block on a dirt road in hicksville, 20 mins from the main road.... we did see deer on one of the dirt track though!! earlier on in the trip we did espy a wonderful chrome diner where we had an all day breakfast and too much coffee..... i love diners!!

so after a hour or so of detours and driving a distance say equal to getting to albany (WA) we made it to portsmouth NH. it was actually quite tricky getting around as we had no map???? so we drove around for a while and i kept asking ak if anything looked familar (she had been there before)..... we drove around more. finally we rang her groom friend (mike) at the pre-weddng dinner for family and so on. ak had all the instructions to get us to the house we were staying at. down this street..... no no, hold it we were talked thur where to go on the phone by mike where to go..... left, right etc.... see big white house on left..... go in the left entry..... blah blah blah... big black dog called lincoln... see ya later... so i pull up out the front of the house after getting this 5 min relayed conversation. ak gets out and doubtfully walks into the rightside apartment. hmmm so we wander around the house looking for fellow wedding attendees... everyone was out... saw some wedding gifts around, but with different names to the wedding we were going to, a little odd. ak went to the 'restroom' and i sat down and relaxed and started reading the newpaper that was on the couch for about 15 mins.... ak wanders around the house more and finally after 20 minutes says "there is no dog or dog bowl" only a fricking cat. so i pack up my gear and we quickly go nextdoor to be greeted by a big black goofy dog called lincoln. it turns out the neighbours had a wedding on this weekend too. i think ak can take the rap for our break & entering episode. nice one blondie!!! heh heh.

portsmouth is a lovely town and i hope to return soon. the sunday wedding was different to the friday night gig, but we had just as much fun, danced to a loopy band and our unknown table partners hillary, dustin & co were fun too!!! ak got to talk about the high school she went to in Falling Crutch Virginia with fellow VA mates and i about OZ... we drank all the wine we were allowed.... it was an early wedding though and we got kicked out around 8:30pm...... so we hit portsmouth and kicked on for a few more hours for more beers. actually we were home by 12:30 - 1am, so we were good. slept. got up , got the car from town, got lost a few more times, started to head back to brooklyn. drove drove and drove. finally made it home after dropping off the car halfway to montauk at around 11pm monday night.

tonight we are going to try and see the pernice brothers around the corner from my place and eat somewhere on 5th ave bklyn. tomorrow is coney island for putt putt and rollercoasters and the a bbq. sunday hopefully PS1 in queens and another bbq at bros and hang with aunty mary who is here on vacation. gonna try and get a brunch in a pequena too before the weather gets cooler. and cooler it shall get! rocktober is soon upon us and there are many cool gigs coming up real soon.
