Happy Holidays!!

Happy Holidays my nearest and dearest!! Images above are from Meg Allan Cole's annual (and very famous) fab holiday party in Williamsburg, mia madre telling her children 'like it is', my holiday tree in my teeny tiny co-op apartment, yours truly at (yet) another (post) holiday party in Brooklyn the night before our annual French Family Floridian vacation.

Besos on everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying this holiday season and I look forward to the New Year!! XO, NoNY.

Guten Mittwoch!

Guten Mittwoch (basically the working stiff's Friday) my dearest friends! Shannon, Tierney, Adam, et al and I met at (where else but) Union Pool last night for a few 2 for $5 domestic canned beers and a small gathering to bid adieu to our Brooklyn family for the long weekend.  We gave thanks for our health, friendships, Blinky Palermo, family, Brooklyn (!!), Tuesday nights out and most importantly for voodoo beer taps. Oh, and I thanked Monster Rally for a great new Color Sky 7" that just released.  The track Champagne is smothered in awesomeness. More on that soon...

Happy Thanksgiving eve!! I do hope you are whooping it up somewhere, anywhere with your nearest and dearests. XOXO, V.

Currently listening to White Ring's Roses- a haunted melodic lullaby; quite simply, a perfect sound.

Update: Shannon says I resemble the voodoo tap. I say she's a liar.

FREITAG

Happy Friday my friends! I'm running out the door to see Bad Adult play and stare at Kim Gordon. Tomorrow is filled with home improvements and painting my walls - yay! I finally selected colors and can't wait to see them.

Sunday is errands (boo), checking out some commerical real estate in Bushwick and then celebrating a friend's birthday (Happy Birthday Aaron!) downtown in the afternoon.

How much you want to bet I'm the only one at the book signing tonight lugging two gallons of paint with me? Gotta love NYC living...Oh, and the image above is from a fun drunken night at Botanica on 47 East Houston. It's the best dive in Manhattan with $2 PBR happy hour and the nicest staff behind the bar. God, I drag everybody there. I lurve it.

Enjoy your weekends and don't forget to call or hug your mothers on Sunday. I wish I could give mine a big squeeze.

Glücklicher Freitag

Eine sonderbare woche. Ich verlor meinen job. Bekam meinen job zurück. Verlor meinen verstand und verlor einen freund. Bumsen sie ihn, benötige ich ein bier und viel lachen im augenblick. Bald kommen - ist Freitag!

Have a great weekend everyone! I'm leaving the office now (finally) to meet my oldest and dearest friend (K. Hogan) from San Francisco for some PBRs, flirting and general bad decision making in Williamsburg. Saturday is filled with being a do-gooder and eating well at Dumont. Sunday is a perfect day spent in beautiful upstate New York viewing Warhol, Flavin, Judd, Serra, etc...with a little champagne in hand. YAY weekend!!

Listening to this now and heading out the door...

Oh, and Cecelia - if you are reading this from a dingy cafe in Berlin - I miss you dear!! Besos on you and Cassidy - come back to me and New York City. We've missed you.
