Subway adventures with Einav. Writing stories based off of things we say without meaning to. Homemade pizza and half a bottle of wine....ooopsy doops. All in all a great way to end the week, if I do say so myself.
Found myself all over the place on Saturday. Dumbo. Chinatown. Fort Green Williamsburg. And back to the Slope.
But the best part of the whole day was catching up with old friends from Saatchi. Brunch with my gals and coffee with one of my favorite art directors and his wife visiting from the Dominican Republic.
Yesterday, I spent the day writing in a couple of my favorite Brooklyn neighborhoods...Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Bushwick and Billyburg. I love my borough. How did you spend your Saturday?
Yesterday I got up super early to have a date with my keyboard and some cherries. Worked like a good little freelancer and today I'm off to spend some QT with my old partner before she takes off to Seattle for a shoot. Two weeks without B, what am I to do? Le sigh. I'm off to enjoy the sun, cawfee and bagels with her now. Happy Weekend, ya'll!
I'm still in Ohio visiting family, but had to update all the awesomeness that happened this weekend. Besides celebrating with family I am also trying to soak in all the Ohioness I can which means, great thrift stores, garage sales, time with my mom, seeing one of my college roommates, getting my hair did at JR's, grilling out, roadside farm stands and of course getting a hard time from my brother. Gotta love home.
Sunday...also referred to as my favorite day to finish projects, sip on cawfee with the NY Times, hang out with my crazy friends in the park with beverages and catch up on my people watching - very, VERY important inspiration, ya know.
Also, I'm totally digging these illustrations of cawfee shops around the BK.
Spent the weekend writing on trains riding to and from Philly. I had such a good time in the city of brotherly love. Hung out with my aunt and some friends, drank lots of silly-named beers and avoided the sites as much as possible. And in totally unrelated news, Bernadette turned me on to this site and I'm totally smitten with their work.
Went to the Belmont yesterday with some friends and had an AMAZING time. Who knew that betting on horses could be so much fun? I didn't end up as lucky as my friends Tom & Evan (who won BIG), but I had a good time nonetheless. The horses had such great names, the jockey's colors and patterns made my eyes dance, and the ladies were sporting some mighty fine hats that I wish I owned. If you get a chance next year, go to Belmont. Its full of inspiration, trust.
Wrote a story this morning, based off these flowers. They smelled so incredibly good, and it made me wonder why all things that are in the process of dying can't smell as good. Now, I'm off to the city to work on a freelance project. Ta-ta!
It was the first weekend of the year that I felt the summer shenanigans were coming out to play. I hope the weather isn't too shy and keeps up with the pleasantries.
