Weekend

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Even though the skies were wet and misty for most of the weekend, we did our best to make the most out of it. We went into the city, stumbled upon a dance parade, ate lunch, drank some mimosa's and bloody mary's and then relaxed back at home and stayed dry with Macky Dog.

My parents were in town during the week for a conference. Its always nice to have mama and papa Marv in the city, if only for a couple of days.

We had to check out Orly Genger's art installation in Madison Square Park on Saturday. Its 1.4 million feet of painted, knotted and layered rope that would cover the city of Manhattan 20x over if stretched out.

Isn't that so pretty?

Stumbled upon a dance parade near Union Square.

Yes!

If you go to the downtown NR train subway station there are these beautiful mosaic hats on the wall, so naturally, we had to do a photos shoot.

Yes, he really did shave those chops in again. And yes, I do love olives from a Bloody Mary... however, that Mary wasn't so great.

Have a great weekend, Folks! Make the best of your next two days!

I'm Shipping Up To Boston - SHORT

My first attempt at an app movie. Excuse the shaky cam and lack of footage. Now that I'm obsessed, and know what I'm doing, I'll do better next time.

Shippin Off To Boston!

We decided to celebrate Mother's Day -- or totally avoid it completely -- by heading up North up i95 to Boston, MA for a little dinner and baseball. Boston is such a charming city. Its architecture, gold plated Irish bar signs, flower boxes, Italian restaurants and incredible seafood make it one of my favorite cities to visit. Its also home to the greatest baseball stadium in the country, Fenway. And, on Sunday, we got to see Fenway in the most amazing way. 1st row and a behind the scenes tour. We are the LUCKIEST and extremely grateful!

AWESOME restaurant we ate at on Saturday night. I would have taken pics of the food and jazz singers but we were too busy having a great time! Go see for yourself, The Beehive.

On the field! Yep, I took some pretend batting practice while Scott stood horrified. :)

Even though the team lost, we had an amazing time. These seats were AMAZING

Oh, that's just Kirbo swaping stories with the Blue Jays coach, Gibbons. (seriously)

Did you know that the blue seats are original seats from the early 1900's? Yeah, learned that on the tour. They get refurbished every few years. Love the history here!

Cheesin'. Thank you, LL! You made a day that could have been crappy, so So SO HAPPY!

The Great Gatsby

I was lucky enough to go to an early showing of The Great Gatsby tonight. I did not go in with very high hopes, only because I really loved Moulin Rouge and who didn't go nuts over Romeo + Juliet? I didn't think he could top those two movies.

However, Baz Luhrmann did not upset, yet again. The movie is fast, the movie is fun, energetic, magical, colorful, heart warming, heart breaking, exciting and worth every buttery popcorn kernel and oz of sugary large drink I shoved down my throat.

Thank you, Sissy for the awesome invitation and free movie!! Oh, and for Leonardo DiCaprio OWNING the role of Gatsby. He is fantastic!

Friday Tunes

Happy Friday, Friends!

Here is a track from Timid Tiger  - The Sun Goes Down, The Streets Are Black. In my opinion, don't watch the video, he looks a bit stiff. However, I really love how they use the sounds of the streets in the video.

What are your plans for the weekend? I have a long lost friend coming up for 24 hours. I'm very excited to see this crazy dude!! In our younger years, we were in 1st grade together but then he moved away to a different neighborhood. When we met back up in 8th grade I went to make sure he was the same kid in my 1st grade class, but, then noticed I couldn't. I had X'd his face out to where he pretty much didn't exist in my yearbook. How rude. He must have pissed me off.

Once again, "thank you" TomSaun for the hint to listen to these dudes. 

And, since I totally left ya hanging last Friday with no tunes (how did you survive?) Here is my current guilty pleasure... Icona Pop - I Don't Care. This reminds me of my sister and I living together in the early 00's, being reckless, traveling, being obnoxious and really feeling like, "I DON'T CARE, I LOVE IT!" While angering everyone around us. 

Have a great weekend, everyone! Its supposed to be an amazing weekend (weather wise) up here in NYC! I will make the best of it, blast the above songs and LOVE IT! 

xoxo,
