Astoria! A-A-A….Astoria!

April 1, 2008

Well, I’m pretty much all moved in.  My DVD collection is an issue that I’m going to resolve with albums.  It will kill their re-sell value, but I just don’t care — I don’t really want to go on Amazon and sell all my DVDs anyway.  I’ll keep my box sets as they are.

A few things I’ve learned since moving to New York:

  • Many bars ‘buy back’ every third round, such as my favorite new place, The Quays.
  • These are the bars you should frequent.
  • Brunch is as awesome, and uniquely so, as TV tells you it is.
  • The trains will occasionally just go express, leaving you to watch as they escape down the center track.
  • Not everything you eat here is awesome.   But most of it is.

More as I learn.

The open mics have been very cool so far — it’s fun to bring my music to a different audience every night, and hopefully I’ll be setting up more shows soon.  If anyone has suggestions for a place I should fasttrack in my endeavor to hit all points, I’m open to suggestions!
