circus punks and gypsy punks!

October ended with one last visit from my circus family. Cricket and Chelsea came down on Halloween to see the World/Inferno Friendship Society at a club in Brooklyn. The show started off interesting when the fire department showed up because the band was juggling fire on the roof. Once inside, we realized we were the oldest people there by about 10 years, so to cope with that we headed to a room upstairs to get severely f'ed up. Once the band came on, the younger crowd had thinned out. The band was GREAT, but I had to cut out early to get to work the next morning.

Thursday Mike came into town, and we had some drinks in midtown. Friday we wandered around lower Manhattan before having to head back to Astoria to help Jason who got locked out trying to get the plate number of a guy that drove onto the sidewalk and destroyed a neighbor's fence. We went to a local bar for a yummy dinner.

Saturday Mike and I wandered around Central Park and got dinner near Lincoln Center before heading to Terminal 5 for Gogol Bordello with Jason and Dan. Jason had a ticket snafu, but got there about half way through their set. They kicked ass, as usual, but played a surprisingly short set. Still worth it, of course. After the show, we all went to the Playwright for a beer and got some pizza.

It's Sunday, and I'm shitty. I'm very relieved that things will be calming down a bit, as all the fun is wearing on me. That coupled with my stupidface issue is making me exhausted. But I'm deciding to actually take some steps to get through that.
