two weeks

Two weeks can be chaotic, full and definitely a whirlwind. I know this because that is what MY last couple of weeks have felt like. I admit that there is not much I would want to change...but man, I am so tired ! It has taken a while to get myself back on track...But to fully understand where I am coming from, I would have to go back to what it is exactly that I have been up to....

Things got started on October 23rd when I went to the Stars show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. So many people have blogged about this show that I don't want to go into full detail, but I do want to make a few comments. I didn't know what to expect from their live show at all. I hadn't heard or read anything, but I was lucky enough to be able to attend the show with a several new friends who were avid fans of the band. Stars is a band that I didn't really "hear" until I saw them live. I didn't realized what an intensely eighties sound they have. I also didn't know that they would have so much flair in their performance. The two lead singers really engaged with each other and their bandmates. If you are looking for new music, I would definitely check them out.

The next night I managed to score tickets to the first in a series of 2 New Pornographers shows at Webster Hall. I saw them on the Fourth of July and was hooked with their music and especially with Neko Case. This show was especially nice though because the whole band was performing. I got to see Dan Behar !

The rest of the week consisted of birthday party happy hours, and pre-halloween parties. Speaking of, I have the best Halloween story ever...well, maybe not the best, but certainly unique. I dressed up as Amy Winehouse...it was awesome ! A friend styled my hair in a real bee hive...see the pictures below, it was truly unreal. Anyway, I took a cab home and as we entered the Brooklyn Bridge, traffic came to a full stop. We crept along a couple of inches and I waited approximately ten minutes before I got out of the cab and jumped the fence to walk OVER THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE at 2 am in the morning with crazy Amy Winehouse bee hive hair !

Sometimes I wonder if this kind of stuff would happen to me if I lived some where else...I just wonder.
