Dear bridesmaids dresses
Fuck you for “running really small” and making me order 4 sizes larger than my normal size, causing me to hit the mid double digits and making me feel like a cow. I quit!
Has the internet killed the myth of the rock star? →
delayprocrastinate:
“In the last three or four years the internet’s taken a stranglehold and killed off the myth of the rock star,” Tom Meighan of Kasabian told Bangshowbiz last week. “You know when you used to buy records and there was a myth behind them? There’s too much on blogs now and I think it’s killed it off. There are so many rock stars writing these self-pitying blogs and it’s not in...
I’m looking forward to the Beef Stroganoff that we’ll be making for dinner. Mmm seems to be the perfect night for it.

My cousin Rebekah and her husband Ross were randomly interviewed by ABC while they were on vacation in California this past weekend. That action starts at 1:31 ;)

Tales From My Nose
Last week on the G Train it smelled like B.O and tzatiki sauce. Tonight it smells like lox and marijuana. What can I say? The nose knows.
Stream Joanna Newsom's new album! →
NPR is streaming “Have One On Me” (out today) in its entirety! I am excited! See ya in two hours.
Holy fucking fuck
Our super-awkward-intern is still here, after we said there is nothing for her today, SLEEPING ON THE COUCH. How awkward is that? She’s super super super awkward…part of me wants to feel bad but in all honesty, I want to seriously make fun of her to her face and kind of slap her and be like WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?
*Sorry for overusing the word “awkward.” In this case, you...
Park Slope: Thistle Hill Tavern →
Who doesn’t get excited when they hear about a new bar or restaurant opening shortly in your hood… especially if one of the partners is Fat Mike of famed punk band NoFX?! Oh yeah, David Massoni of ‘inoteca being the brains behind the project doesn’t hurt either. Maybe we can host a Neighborhoodr…
Only two blocks away from my apartment? Yes please
Where did you ladies come from?
I just got a shit ton of lady followers between the ages of 15-17. Makes me feel old! Where did you gals come from??

My Co-worker's response to a really shitty band...
“It’s kinda queer. The first time I read it, I was living a mad life as a production manager. The document came into my email box quickly, and if it was half as good as the last word document I read, I knew it would be something special. Before I knew it I was reading formulaic drivel masquerading as self-important bombasity. One person has to compile these stupid-ass bios together for...
Dear Journalists
What gives? Am I your personal therapist? Punching bag? Do you enjoy telling me things that make it awkward to respond to you? Take this for example:
“Me: Hey Journo, want to check out a band I have in town tomorrow night? Journo response: “I wish I can, but I have to go to a funeral.”
or
Journo: “Where is that CD you were supposed to send me? Sorry to bitch but...

Dear Park Slopians and Park Slope enthusiasts,
Where is your favorite place in the neighb to enjoy brunch on the weekends?

Tuneage & Eatsleepdraw Design Contest! →
tuneage:
Tuneage wants to make awesome t-shirts for its readers, and they are asking the Eatsleepdraw community to design them!

I don't like writing bio's
But I do like complaining about them.
I hate 98% of all band managers.
Sorry if I just offended you.
Not.
ARRRGHHHH
THANKS TO THE MTA I’M 2 HOURS AND 50 MINUTES LATE TO WORK.
The F and G trains (aka the ‘Frank’ and ‘George’ trains) came to a standstill this morning when a switch thingamabob malfunction stopped all train traffic in both directions. I waited 40 minutes on the train until they told us we’d be better off taking the bus… went outside in this lovely weather...
Where can I get a king cake in NYC?
Anyone? Bueller?
Guilty pleasure...
Someone on the G train smells like Cool Water for men. My 10th grade self would have been ecstatic.
Last night was the girls only Vday fondue eating /...
So naturally I had to document this high level of estrogen.
Check out our Vday mailboxes!
Ok, not Vday related, but the apartment we were at had the best hiding space for their cat’s litter box. This is genius. Gotta love vintage trunks and all the nifty things you can do with them!
The spread! Cheese and chocolate fondues were enjoyed by all! I’m currently craving more...
This is what an email from yours truly looks like...

This is pretty much my past and my present throwing up on each other!
Job title
I’m corresponding with someone from Sony Germany in regards to one of our clients. Her title is “Exploitation Manager.” I’m kind of jealous. It’s right there in the open. No fancy title to cover up the dirty work we do. Can we start calling publicist that on this side of the pond? Amy Y. Exploitationist Extraordinaire!
