A NYC Halloween!

Happy Pumpkin Day! Hope this finds you with Snickers stuffed in your pockets and some witches brew served up. NYC in the Fall is amazing. Throw in some carved pumpkins and kiddles in costumes it's a postcard! Chad and I went to a party on Saturday. Chad amazed the crowd as Helvetica (a font...don't get me started). I dressed as a pillow fight. Super fun! On Sunday we carved pumpkins in SoHo. Then had to carry them on the subway! Today PS 93 was quiet. No pumpkin fun in NYC DOE. Tonight we are heading to Carnegie Hall!

Lights, Camera, No Action

On Wednesday, I walked out of the F train subway stop and strolled down one block to our apartment. As I approached our corner I saw all these bright pink signs saying "no parking". Oh tears, poor Park Slopians will have a difficult parking evening! Well, with further reading I found out a Citicard commercial was being filmed on our street. Cool! However, after even more reading the production notes instructed us that "black-out materials" were available at the mobile home because they were shooting from 9pm-8am (bitterly disappointed to learn this did not mean "cases of beer" -cab). Yikes! So last night I was prepared to head out and get my "black-out" material (so was I -cab). Well, 9pm, 10pm...many snores later no excitement. At 3am I woke up but no noise. Hmmmmm. 6:40am I headed out to work and there were tons of people but no action. All Hype! No Action!

Where in the world is Park Slope!?

OK, a three month catch-up!

Celebrity Sightings (Hello, the most important!)
-Modest Mouse on the street
-John Turturro Actor
-Paul Giamatti (No, he wasn't drinking out of the spit bucket but walking down the street!)

Our home is in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Now, where is that you ask! Right next to lovely Prospect Park. We like to call it the "Little Sea". It is a mini-Seattle with NYC flare. Lots of organics and earth-friendly folk.
