Goodbye, New York

July 30th, 2011
From NYC

Hello All,

After a glorious week in this beloved city, it’s time to pack up and say adios.

NYC, you have been most excellent to us.

… We’ve spent the last day sayin yo to all of our homeys and soaking up their radness. This is Di’s friend Jen, a fellow hipster in Brooklyn.

This is Millican.

But you already knew that.

Just needed to sneak in one last glorious shot of our Dope-As-Fuck-Tour-Guide.

Also, hit up Barcade last night with the crew.

Had a few good runs at Tetris, didn’t fair half bad at Punch Out, and got absolutely thrashed at Paper Boy.

Hmmm, what else?

Just been hanging around Williamsburg, chilling out, vibing the vibe.

For some reason I just have a real soft spot for pics of my fellow blogger in front of graffiti. Like a flower blooming in the sidewalk, I just gush when I see her womanness in front of this rawness.

Oh.

Hello There.

Am gonna sneak in one last review here also.

We swooped by the Brooklyn winery for a bottle of cabernet sauvignon.

From NYC

A really, really cool spot.

The ceviche was late, so they ended up giving it to us for free! A real standup act in my book.

Also, the space just felt so tru.

(I omitted the ‘e’ in ‘true’ on purpose – It’s what the youth are doing these days with the hip hop. Trust me)

So ya, that’s that.

And since our arrival in NYC inspired a quick little poem, I figure that it’s only fitting for me to knock one out as we depart.

Downtown, uptown, east river,
Manhattan – so many arrows in your quiver.
But certainly, my brow I can not furrow,
At this other lovely burrow …

The jeans worn so tightly,
The drinks, poured not lightly.
Bicycles taken seriously,
A man lives mysteriously.

Red bricks and tree-lined streets,
Our hearts, Brooklyn kindly meets,
Whenever you cross the water,
The hip gets that much hotter!

Yet the whole city – I love a ton.
And sadly, our journey is done.
So in us, we will put a fork,
Peace to the out – Motha Fuckin New York!
