Leave it to me not to read the fine print. After spotting a notice in Sunday's New York Times about it, when Peggy and the kids went down for a nap on Wednesday afternoon, I hopped on the uptown 4 train to go check out Street Dance: The New York Photographs of Rudy Burckhardt at the Museum of the City of New York. I hadn't been up to that neck of the woods in a while, and I'm a big fan of Burckhardt's (probably most famous for his pictures of the Flatiron Building and Asto... MORE

Knowing Crash made me one of the cool kids. Cos it was one thing to be one of his Trusted MOGgers. No small thing, but - to have him comment on your MOG: quick, with wit, often with joy, inducing a laugh. Aah, yeah, there, son. You've made it. But it always felt so terribly selfish. He wrote. He wrote a lot. He wrote so much that post rarely could fit only on the MOG page. So there you go, heading over to The Chronicles of Ridicule to see the rest, rolling your eyes ("... MORE

...Years ago when I worked as a cook at Bridgetown Grill in Little Five Points Atlanta, my mornings started early as in 7AM; the cooks would get in there, bleary eyed (we'd be hungover from sucking down pitchers at the Euclid Avenue Yacht Club the previous evening 90% of the time) to start prepping everything that needed prepping which entailed doing a grip of slicing and dicing (this was a Jamaican/ Cuban joint)...what was our cure for the hair of the dog? Why music, sinc... MORE
