I have a new enemy. It is a sad sad story. not as sad as thousands of people dying in floods or from car bombs. but nevertheless sad. i never thought of myself as the type to have enemies, but here we are. iusually consider myslef as a man of peace, but i suppose certain situations are out of ones hands wherein they are still directly involved.
i will not tell the story of my enemy. rather a story about what i did last night. I ate mooseburgers at a small gathering at an art crating warehouse and drank beer until i was totally carbo-loaded. The sky was rather pink and clear in the industrial part of Greenpointe and there was a refreshing breeze blowing thru the warehouse. a nice change from the sweltering humidity. i've had to start carrying around a sweat rag so as to stay dry. we walked back thru williamsburg to a bar where a band that sounded too much like coldplay played for over an hour while The NAtural was projected on a screen behind them. My friend and i talked about the various intricacies of the business of criticism, a topic we constantly gravitate towards. We decided to go to another bar but got lost and walked many blocks past the place we wanted to go, so we walked all the way back. At the other bar, called Alligator lounge, it was karaoke night and a girl was walking around taking "collections" for new orleans flood relief. we later saw her take money out of the collection pitcher and buy a pitcher of beer. Karaoke in this town is just like karaoke in every town. except when Bon Jovi comes on everybody from Jersey represents. They are a proud proud people.
The long drunken trainride home was quiet and relaxing in that subway kind of way.
