Misfits themed graffiti posting on the corner of Greenwich and Vandam Street in Greenwich Village.
Below another picture of me at an early Misfits show slam dancing in the middle of a ferocious pit. There are a couple of guys skanking behind me. This was when hardcore was totally at its peak. I'm near the center of the photo in a hooded sweatshirt and engineer boots. Very punk.

George Clooney's Graffiti Truck
George Clooney was spotted today on 56th Street near 5th Avenue bolting around town in this delightful graffiti truck. I didn't know he was such a huge New York Yankees fan!
He must have been getting his shopping done around the corner at Takashimaya or he was hitting up that tasty underrated Japanese noodle shop on 56th Street. He seems like a coffee drinker to me, but he may know that Takashimaya has a great tea salon on the lower level.
Either way, he got a great parking space for his vehicle emblazoned with a whole truck full burner.

Street Grinding in Times Square
Work on the city streets occurs at all hours of the day and night. So it not surprising that a crew is hard at work grinding up the streets at 11PM on a Wednesday night in the middle of Times Square. Traffic gets blocked, pedestrians are rerouted and the noise level goes up about a hundred decibels.
What I love best is that they have the most fearless guys in all of New York City operating this heavy machinery. They just really don't give a fuck. It's late at night in the dead center of the busiest city in the world and they're grinding up the pavement with one of the scariest looking machines ever invented with lit cigarettes dangling out of their mouths. Awesome.

V V Brown at Hiro Ballroom
VV Brown played a fantastic show in New York City tonight at the Hiro Ballroom on 9th Avenue and 16th Street. It was her first show in Manhattan and she didn't disappoint the invite-only crowd who were overwhelmingly excited to see this exuberant young singer perform her debut album "Traveling Like The Light." I videotaped her final song of the evening, "Shark in the Water." It's a hit.

Millions of Magazines
I love this magazine store. They carry pretty much everything you could ever want. It's not the most organized store which doesn't really bother me very much. They have stacks and stacks of foreign and domestic magazines from floor to ceiling. All of the international fashion magazines are available in the back room. You only find great magazine stores like this in New York City. They have this one magazine called Free Style Magazine that comes packaged inside of a Frisbee. It came out a couple months ago and I keep wanting to buy, but it's kind of expensive and I keep passing it up. Pretty soon it will be gone and I'll regret not having purchased it. This store is located right near Bryant Park.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
I went to a great New York multimedia stage production of Haruki Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle in Soho at the Ohio Theater recently. As you can see, it was completely sold out and very well done. It is based on a book that is a cult favorite around the world. If you haven't read it, you probably should.

Pizza Price War
Only 99¢. Has anyone else noticed that there are all sorts of pizza joints springing up charging less than a dollar a slice?
This is great news and very welcome for all the price conscious pizza lovers out there. In fact, I know quite a few. Pizza is the perfect thing to eat for busy New Yorkers and, if you're like me and you don't work on Wall Street, the price is insanely awesome. It's great to finally see some downward food pricing that absolutely everyone can enjoy.

Flannel Shirts
Did you ever wonder where aging Brooklyn hipsters go to get their retro/grunge/vintage flannel shirts? 10 Ft. Single in Williamsburg, of course! There are possibly enough flannel shirts here to outfit an army of Strokes fans from here to Hoboken.
