yo!

someone told me about something called minimoo? also maybe apt on some nights or nublu.

I've been here for a couple weeks going out a ton; It's my first time in new york but it's been real rad so far. I like a wide variety of scenes so my list is a bit disjointed, I dont really know whats up but this is where i've had fun so far.

Hudson Bar and Books, rad little cigar bar on the edge of meatpacking that you can smoke inside. huge scotch list and they pour with a heavy hand. good place to start or end the night. friendly ppl too. Also, early in the night theres fredericks across the street. not really any sort of scene there but quality drinks and friendly people. get some key-lime shots and martini's with your date and then move along. I went to APT in meatpacking and it was OK, the basement had a great minimal dj and ppl were into it but it died out early. this was on a thursday, i don't know what their "night" is. i think you can get food upstairs. it seemed like a little more refined crowd than the untucked-striped-shirt-squared-toed-dress-shoe hooligans hording around cielo or lotus or watever the other meatpacking "hotspots" are.

I also checked out the beatrice inn which i thought was pretty cool, supposedly its "hot" or maybe is was 2 years ago and now every dick and harry wants a piece, i dunno. really it's a shit hole inside, but it was full of great ppl when we went. the bartenders were friendly, good times. They have a pretty stiff door though; the fist time i went i was there early on a tuesday with a bunch of girls and it was no problem. When i went another time later in the week with a female friend of mine we got doorjected, albeit very politely.

I'm really into the electro/new rave shit and fridays at the annex in the lower east side are RAD, it's a night called ruff-club, went there my first friday here and had a blast. saturdays there are also cool i hear. Studio B in brooklyn is great on big nights. I saw simian mobile disco there a couple weeks back and they blew my mind. Also of note, the resident djs actually play RECORDS which is refreshing.

anyone else know whats up in NYC? i'm here for another 2 weeks but now im kinda wanting to move here. energy is so great, and the ppl are remarkably friendly.

just got here for the first time

ppl at seven were super nice.

ditto on apc being jerks.

i want to marry the girls at the ksubi store

also, staff at marc jacobs store were super chill and really friendly.

still for sale...

chu chai on st. denis. get the vegetian duck.

if he wants to class it up theres also Amber and CLVB in yorkeville (prob. on richmond if i remember correctly). had fun at those joints in the summer. CLVB had a rad covered smoking area in the back with a bar where you could burn some stogies. they had a humador with cubans and shit for sale that was pretty dank. but maybe those places are shit now though?, shit changes so fast in these scenes.

dunno if its too late, but if you ask godin for special rates they'll hook you up. you have to be firm on your dates but they can usually go for as low as 160ish a night. Right now they're bleeding cash because of a lack ability to get a liquer licence at their swank ass bar. (you can still get alcohol room service, no worries)..

for a fun party, go to the social.

hermes dude, ball out. quality over quantity. as rad as slim ties are, the geezers at work won't think they're cool.

i think chromeo are doing a dj set at wunderbar this friday, should be nifty.

Mihara Yasuhiro seamless denim jacket:

there are no exposed seams on this thing (all stitching is inside), i really can't figure out how they do it.

I'm so stoked on it right now. I play around with more electro-disco funky stuff, can't scratch to save my life. I was just going to get a crap mixer, but this was on sale $200 off. awesome.
