Woke up in a HoJo.. was excited to get in a shower.. and it didn't have a shower curtain.. awesome.. huh.
We walk outside and.. it's hailing. ON THE FUCKING DAY I GET TO WALK AROUND NY CITY ITS HAILING? IS THERE A GOD AND DOES HE HATE ME?!?!?
It seems one of us has lost a computer, another one lost a ring.. I don't THINK I lost anything.. i hope.
Wait... We've lost Chad. He's nowhere to be found. Hmm.. of course, we would lose a drummer. Only a drummer gets lost. Seriously, really? Only a drummer.
Finally, we take off to Starbucks, without Chad.. Eventually he calls us.. finally. And he has the computer. Two problems down. Next we are supposed to be dropped off at the train station while Tommy takes the RV to get the tires checked.. We'll see how this goes.
Not great.. drama, drama.. ugh.
I'm just dying to get to St Mark's Place..
Finally we get there, and score an AWESOME fucking parking spot, about a block from St Marks.. YESSS!! I immediately run to Trash and Vaudeville with Xristian, Taime, Danny and Ace.. just inside we are greeted by Jimmy, the owner.. he is SUCH A DOLL. For those of you who DON'T know just how epic Jimmy is, he owns THE store in NYC, and he knows EVERYONE who is EVERYONE! His best friend is Iggy Pop.. and he is the sweetest man ever!! He hooked me up with a rad TnV shirt!! I bought a Luxe De Ville purse, one I've been wanting for about 3 years now, and a Tripp skirt to wear for the shows :) We gave Jimmy some cd's and a glossy for the shop wall, if you're ever in there look for it.. I signed it <3 the merch girl, savannah <3
(hey, I had to go to the bus to get it! :)
After spending WAYY too long, and finding a jacket that if you asked me to murder someone then you'd buy it.. yes.. 250 for one.. the leather one I loved is almost 900.. le sigh.. we hit up St Marks Ale House with X, Danny, and Ricky Vodka of Motochrist.. I got to enjoy a Newcastle, and a Jagerbomb, (thx Ricky Vodka!)
Too soon, we get the bus call, we gotta get out of NYC before rush hour.. boo. I quickly hit Ray's for some NY Za, at the recommendation of Mr Vodka.. OMG REAL FUCKING NY PIZZA IS SO FUCKING GOOOOOODDDDD.. I really wanted to stay. I want to live there, at least for awhile. SSOOOO amazing.
Unfortunately, we had to get the f outta town.. we still got stuck in traffic thru Brooklyn, but then we got to head over the bridge into Staten Island.. and back thru Dirty Jersey on the way to North Carolina..
Quickly hit up a truck stop where I got some quarter machine mustaches.. I LUCKED OUT.. and got TWO mustaches in one egg... and they were TOTALLY Hitler stache's!! X and I took some rad pictures throwin up a sig heil.. (NO, I'm not a nazi, it's just hilariously fucking funny!!!)
Time to curl up with a good beer and blog, and post some fuckin NY pics.. hells yeahhh! Tonight we're gonna park up and watch some Borat, Bruno, and at some point the new episode of Walking Dead.. if only you could see how X and I talk about it.. do the fingers walking thing, then throw your head to one side, stick your tongue out and play dead.. ok, it's funnier when you see it.. ahh well.
Either way I am SOOOO thankful to Taime for stopping in the city so I could experience NY for the first time, esp with a buncha crazy rock n roll dudes!! And with Danny to show me his natural environment!!
I <3 NY
