The New Museum Opening and a Sunday night in the city

(Dec. 1st - 07)
The New Museum (designed by the Tokyo partners Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, who are jointly known as Sanaa) finally opens on the Bowery at Prince Street on the Lower East Side.























As always cameras aren't allowed in the space but I was able to capture a few shots of the artwork.

The elevator illuminates green. Here's a crazy shot of syama ...







Read reviews here and here




The top floor which also serves as an event space was sponsored by target. Free candy could be scooped up and enjoyed by all. My personal fav was the cherry shaped gummy's ;-)


Here's Min and Shetal enjoying their candy too.






the streets of nyc can leave you feeln' like this at times.





Stopped in to catch our fav aussie finishing up some ink on her back in the LES. Def feelin' the tat.







Broke out and ventured to midtown to my friend Eileen's baking party. Some time back I had forwarded her an email for vendors for the Bust Magazine Crafticular Fair. It inspired her to finally put together a company for her baking goods with a partner, and in a matter of a few short months everything came together. Funny how you can effect people's lives without ever realizing it.









Friends came and sipped vino and helped to prepare the baked goods for the crafticular.

The cookies were bangin' and I couldnt get enough. Pick your's up via the website Sweet & Savory Buds





It was the holidays and for some reason I can never get into the spirit in NYC. Decided I needed a lil something to give me some holiday cheer so we hit Bryant Park.

It began to rain and was getting late so I called it a night.

Mickey Avalon at Snitch

So I'm a slacker and still catching up on 2007 photos. What can I say really? Blogging takes time and with the NYC grind I tend to not have too much on my hands.

(Nov 07)
Christian, myself and Kimyon kickin it ...






The place was packed like a sardine can! It was actually pretty annoying but nonetheless stoked Mickey is filling the venues.

Sia Concert

Got an IM from my friend Vasili offering me comps to Sia's concert later that night at Highline Ballroom. Can you say STOKED! I'm definitely a sucker for a good female vocalist but have been a fan of Sia since her collaboration with Zero 7 back in the day.


Here she is holding it down live in a youtube video I found .. the girl has some serious talent to say the least..her video is pretty sweet too







Some pics of the show ... Her and her band kicked it off wearing glow in the dark costumes.











few songs into the show.. costumes came off and the stage illuminated ..
























































Thanks again to Vasili (KISSES)
