Bear Hands

Whose there for you when youre cold and alone? The Teenagers. The Teenagers. I went to go see them last night at their first of 3 gigs in NYC, which was a sold-out show at the Merc Lounge. And the crowd turned into the fucking paparazzo as soon as they went on stage. Bear Hands opened for them, who were really good. I just got their EP, and I'm going to see them again when the open up for Ra Ra Riot in March. So the Teens were super-chintzy French gimmick rock, but they were fun.

I'm surprised that any of these shots came out because I was standing behind a goddamn sasquatch at the show, but they turned out nicely. I should have videoed Homecoming, maybe I will if i go see them this weekend at the Cake Shop. And I finally get to see Team Robespierre at their record release showparty at DBA in Brooklyn on Friday. Hwizzle.

Cancun Travelogue

I got back to New York last night around 1130. I probably should have known this, but getting back into the US takes a lot longer than getting out of it. So it was about 12+ hours of travel time in all. But it was worth it for a very nice vacay time. The highlight of which was driving a golf cart around isla mujeres for an hour and a half and having free reign to explore the little island mountains, go down the coastline, and through the little island towns. But heres the fototravelogue from the rest of the trip.

Quintana Rooooo

So we've been in cancun for 3 days now. I Flew out of LGA at 659 Wednesday morning, was in Atlanta around 11, and Messico by 2. Which was pretty exhausting after 2-and-heif hours of sleep.

But the hotel we're staying at is pretty amazingue. Its the Cancun Hilton Golf Club Spa Resort Club place. So not really Mexico per se, but is nice. 6 restaurants, 2 beaches, infinity pool, tennis courts, golf course, soccer field, gym, ping-pong table. I started a table tennis tourney with my dad yesterday. He's winning 4 sets to 3 right now. But he mastered his craft playing Thai nurses in Chaing-Mai like 20 years ago so its tough competition.

We spent most of today down at the beash. I made friends with the pool bar and had a pina colada and a coco cancun. which was tequila, rum, blue cuaraco, lime, and coconut juice. in a fuckin coconut. and after we killed that i poured some of my dad's johnny walker red label in there and drank whiskey out of a coconut. and then we ordered a mahgerita pizza from the beashside concierge and I topped it off with a Colorado Bulldog. which is my new favourite drink. Cherry coke white russian? Yes please. And i got some new messican sunglasses and was taking UV filtered fotos with their assistance. Like these.
