Halloween

Short post but it's been a while. Currently watching the World Series and listening to Tim Heidecker on WTF with Marc Maron rather than Joe Buck on Fox.

The living room is still decorated from Halloween last night, we had a great party. Me and Laura set up decorations together during the day while I listened to the new Computer Magic album Davos. Great album.
We all got ready in costumes and drinks and food and music and such and people arrived after 9pm. I was Gustave H. from the Grand Budapest hotel, a costume put together over a few days with some lucky thrift store finds. $40 total for a purple blazer, vest, pants, bow tie, keys and sewing.
Sewed it myself.
Anna, her sister, Zach, Thuto, Thea, Kevin, Yuan, and Paula all came to the party, so it was a great crowd for my contingent. Laura's school friends came and some of Lauren's and Sarah's, about 40-50 people total. It was a rocking time and I DJed well (first time in a while) and we danced and drank and nothing was broken. Actually Lauren broke a shot glass before anyone arrived. But other than that nothing was broken.
Friday was a Halloween party at Kevin and Yuan (and Richard and Edgar's) place, a very fun time. Great to see them all again.
The week was nothing much, meeting at Sirius that hopefully proves fruitful. Comics on Wednesday. 4CC.  Tuesday and Monday uneventful (I'm sure Tuesday and Monday me would disagree).

Last weekend was Kent, Connecticut, for some amazing autumnal adventures. Went pumpkin picking in a real pumpkin patch with East coast family. David, Mark, Colleen, Jackson, Natalie, Mary-Beth, Breana, Melinda and Denis all went (and me). Later we carved and cooked, and Guille and Liz came with Ale and Javi. Javi is walking and adorable. I babysat him for part of the night at it was pretty cool.
Watched football, On the Waterfront, White Chicks, and generally a great weekend.

Weekend before that my parents were here, I've missed writing on lots of things I guess.
I'd say I'll write more about it next time but I never do. But short shots anyway:
We went to dinner at Denis and Melinda's with Peter and Britney (and Anderson), we went to the Highline and the New Whitney, saw Damian Lewis at the New Whitney (not on exhibit), went to some nice lunches and dinners in Crown Heights and around the city.
We went to King's County distillery in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and got a tour from the Co-Founder which was very cool, and saw Fool For Love on Broadway with Sam Rockwell and Nina Ariadna which was very great.  I wish I could see Broadway plays and music concerts every day, but money. That's how I'd live if I were a millionaire. No flashy cars or yachts, just expensive daily events.
We went to dinner with Steve, Andrea and Ken in Bushwhick, and had some great pie in Greenpoint.

Early October saw.....
USA lose to Mexico. Bummer. Very Bummer.
Toni's in town! We've been gallivanting and having fun times.
Maybe the circus party? Or was that in September? Who knows. Facebook knows.
Until the next post!
Oh yeah, music.
Claudio Simonetti, I Love The Piano.
because I do love the piano.
