I find myself in Boston, MA today.  After a wonderful weekend on the cape, i took the train from Providence RI to Boston.  I spent the last night at Brandeis where I stayed with some friends who are finishing up College.  This morning to took at bus into Bean Town.  Eric McEwen apartment was my next stop.  Currently I am listening in on his band rehearsal.  Mondo Gecko is Boston’s number 3 jam band.

I am heading back up to New York City in the early morning via Bolt Bus.  This bus has wireless internet, so who knows I may post tomorrow morning.

Otto

Last night I had dinner at Mario Batali’s restaurant, Otto.  This pizzaria / pasta house was packed, but I still thouroughly enjoyed the evenings artichoke pasta special.

Mario also has a great documentary on the cuisine of Spain that premiered a few days ago.  You can probably check it out on your local public access channel or visit them on the web.

Street Music

Well I made it to NYC safe and sound.  I have been staying with James in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Today I have been walking around the city, jumping from wireless point to wireless point.  Currently I am writing from the Apple cube on the edge of central park.

The city is great, the weather is perfect, and I am constantly amazed at the things that you can easily run into while wandering around.

On my way to the Apple store I stumbled on a TV on the Radio rehearsal for the David Letterman show.

David Blaine is also in town.  He is hanging upside down in Central Park for the next 60 hours.
