Let's Do November

Sir Alistair Spalding was in NYC so we met to celebrate our book, Welcome to the Arts: Dance
Chris Blaza guest spoke in my class and after us 4 FIT profs went to Barcade





we drove with a tree on our car from Virginia and it ended up fine and dandy and was like half the price

another car fix, the rear tail light, also very easy thanks to youtube.

my Queens Hats book is now in 5 languages: English, French, Italian, Chinese, Spanish


We went to Beacon for Jen's bday. Momo Valley, the Tibetan restaurant there is awesome and the Richard Serra stuff at Dia Beacon is so cool.

also for Jen's bday at Barbes
the most inspiring day every year in NYC, the NYC marathon. All those people all those stories all together and at the same time all with their own own unique struggles and dreams


took our Yoshitoshi ukiyo-e print to the framer, like $300 for museum glass that blocks 99 percent of UV and other premium framing stuff.

my dumb hands free burrito eating system so you can play video games and eat at the same time.

another live music spot in Fort Greene with Jen's photographer

 

5th Annual Harvest Fest at Raishland

Arriving in time for beers at the top of Raish hill


late frost killed the Raish apples so we had to get apples from Lain's again




I think we got like 12 gallons





This was really close to halloween so we heard some vintage halloween/monster music on the drive up. Top worst song is the pet sematary song by the ramones




some weed and the moon and clouds and night sitting at the picnic bench before getting in our tents


flat toppin'






one is singing it one is not bringing it
was cold. goodnight 5th annual harvestfest at raishland


fast forward to july 2024 and the cider has aged over 7 months and is the best one so far imo, i used cotes des blanc champagne yeast again.
