Pride was pretty much business as usual, with a little more celebration and high spirits that before. To be honest, other than the parade today, I haven’t done much for Pride this summer. Not enough time, not enough money, and it seems like my friends have pretty divergent interests that don’t lead to group outings [...]

The first time this happened, I wasn’t living there. But I was waiting on pins and needles, dialing into conference calls, surfing the web. I was a journalist and even though we only published biweekly, there was urgency to finding out as soon as it happened, even if it was on the other side of [...]

This heat map represents the places I go/check-in the most in New York. I wonder what’s in those parts of the island I never go to. And what’s in Brooklyn? Created with http://www.wheredoyougo.net/

So I missed an anniversary of sorts last week. I moved to New York exactly one year ago last Monday. The only reason this occurred to me is that I was walking around the financial district the other day having one of those internal policy debates where I imagine how I would answer certain questions [...]

Had another fun night out last night. Despite our very best efforts to go somewhere else, we ended up at The Ritz again. What was cool, though, was that we got to see a live performance by Michael Chase DiMartino, who you probably know from his ASL interpretations of Britney and Gaga songs on YouTube [...]

I’ve found that most cities I’ve lived in, I tend to find a bar I’m relatively comfortable at and return there often, at least for for a while. In New York, that bar appears to be The Ritz. My friends and I have been there on various nights of the week and always seem to [...]

Pride in New York was a lot like Pride in all the other cities I’ve been to, except that I wasn’t really in charge of anything. I still spent a lot of time working, though, as I was representing Lambda at several events. Anyway, got to see a bunch of friends, meet new people, and [...]

The AIDS Walk went well. It really wiped me out, though. Still, a good time was had in the sun, money was raised for a good cause, and I spent a morning pretending I didn’t have to study for Torts. The video is 5 minutes of footage I shot on my fancy new camcorder, but [...]

Well, it’s been a week since we closed the show and I’m still a bit high on life. I already miss the cast (even though I see a substantial portion of them every day of school). It’ll probably be a while (if ever) before we have official performance clips online, but I uploaded a whole [...]

Well, the last bits of my Spring Break are here. With a long day of Follies rehearsal on Sunday, and tech rehearsals and performances next week, I’ve got to get all my actual class-related work done tonight and tomorrow. Next week is going to be intense… Anyway, the definite highlight of the week was the [...]
