Random Acts of New York-ism

So I've had some really random weeks for the past few weeks. These stories aren't necessarily connected or chronological.......but I thought they were funny.....so here you go.

The other night as I was leaving work, I swear I saw the asian version of Kid 'n Play. There were these two kids and one had his hair stacked up about a foot high on top of his head and a really bald undercut while his buddy had these really tiny dreadlocks. They both had these HUGE puffy coats on and really baggy jeans and were trying so very hard to convince the doorguy at some club that they were "hip-hoppers" (their words, not mine). I laughed very hard..... because I (and most of my friends) had an undercut in middle school.

During the day I work at the Isamu Noguchi Museum as an art handler. Noguchi (1904-1988) was a stone sculptor and designer. You can learn more about him and see pictures of the heavy rocks that I move at Noguchi.org. In the office, my buddy Al and I found a picture of Noguchi and Don Johnson. Yes, Don Johnson from Miami Vice. And yes he's wearing a white blazer with a t-shirt. Well, very covertly my buddy Al scanned the picture and made t-shirts from the image.........I laughed my ass off.

So my first gig in New York is this monday night. I'm not really all that nervous, i just don't wanna screw up. So wish me luck......
Rock on!
