Some November snapshots

Somehow I let November get away. Between what felt like the constant visitors, the piling up work, the everyday, I managed to avoid this blog entirely. When I moved here, I promised myself frequent updates, constant reminders that I am indeed doing New York. But somehow I managed to forget my camera whenever real excitement was going on. So here are a few pieces from here and there, camera photos, phone photos.

Earlier in the month, Amber, Lili, Lili's fiance Nathan and I had a very delicious brunch at a very hipster Williamsburg joint called Enid's.


I had the huevos rancheros which were fantastic

one hilarious halloween

Ah. Halloween in NYC. Many people will tell you to hit up the legendary Greenwich Village Halloween Parade, but do not be deceived! While the parade may sound fun in theory, it is actually incredibly frustrating, and involves thousands of drunk people shoving you, pushy police, and getting stranded on the West side of the city, having to subway home when it would be super fast for you to just walk, but the cops won't let you through. Yah, I didn't do that again this year.

Instead I had a two-part comedy-centric Halloween. Saturday night, C and I went to Hot Tub Halloween at Littlefield in Brooklyn, which was am amazing comedy/music/film extravaganza, hosted by Kristen Schaal (The Daily Show, Flight of the Concords) and Kurt Braunohler, featuring hilarious salvaged VHS videos from the Found Footage festival, comedy by tons of great stand up comedians, including Wyatt Cenac (also from The Daily Show) and finally, a musical performance by John Darnielle (the Mountain Goats). Caroline and I enjoyed amazing cocktails (I had a "Stormy Weather", appropriate since we had travelled through the insane October snowstorm) and lots and lots of laughs.
