anorak loves new york

[Carys]

I'm staying at the Chelsea Hostel, which is $80 for a double/twin private room. I thought that was fairly reasonable.

[schlump]

hey new york anorakkers. when are you all doing something? i want to come and high-five; to reminisce, to ask you questions about federal services, southern pronounciation and postal queues.

[alongwalkhome]

When are you going to be in NYC? I will be there this Sunday.

[schlump]

gah: i live here now, but i'm away upstate this weekend. what are you upto? you could've stopped me walking around craning my neck, i could've reminded you of manchester.

i propose nyanorak action!, anyway, y'all.

[Colin]

gah: i live here now

Seriously? No-one tells me anything.

I might as well live there now that all the best bands aside from the Smittens refuse to travel further north/east than NY. (bitter) In essence, I'm there several times a year--even though my beloved cuppie has left. If Yubo and Paba leave, I'm going to have to start campaigning for Boston venues to get with the program.

On Sunday I'm seeing The Feelies--yay! And Yubo--yay!

ahhhh. where did cuppie go? i think i need a new name if i'm going to roll with the vowel-suffixes of yubo and paba. schlumpo? and is impa still around?

i am reassured by lots-of-visits.

Cuppie is off in eastern europe shaping minds. But she is never far away in our hearts and butts.

i'll be there, even with midterms and 2 essays.

anyway, does anyone have suggestions for good nyc record shops? so far i like other music on 4th st and soundfix and earwax in brooklyn. they're good, but i haven't found anything too special.

[cuppie]

Maybe you already know it but I quite like Kim's on St. Marks.

[bookish]

thanks, i haven't. i'll check it out soon.

Hello, Anorak! Sorry for the short notice, but I'm DJing an indiepop dance party in Brooklyn tonight (Thursday the 18th) at Public Assembly (70 N. 6th between Wythe & Kent), and it'd be great if you all (within range) could come!

Here are the internet advertisements for it:

Free with flyer! (Printing one out works.)

[yubo]

yay!
looking forward to this!
especially because today is my last day of work for 2008! (hopefully)

[impabafree]

i'm queuing up the lucksmiths and casiotone and ballboy for you right now.

[yubo]

Oh, I had another for you, but I forget now...
Oh, Cars Can Be Blue??

[impabafree]

anything in particular?

[yubo]

uhmmm.... can't remember what I was dancing around to last night in my apartment. I'll email it to you if I remember soon. Right now I am just sat here stupidly waiting for my boss. I told him I was doing nothing but waiting and he just snickered. I might as well go through my iTunes...

[impabafree]

also: laura's making cupcakes! (thus guaranteeing that your cake thing will get back to you tonight.)

I want to move to New York. I've been looking at it all, and I'm so utterly tempted, especially as plans to get a mortgage here in London are not working out. I wonder if it's hard to get a visa as a key worker...
