SummerStage w/ the gang. Ran into Evan Rock!

Battles (pictured -- not that you can see it), Black Dice and Gang Gang Dance played. It was earsplittingly experimental.

On another night B2 and I went to her friend's art show (I missed most of it, walked in to find this naked girl standing on a podium in the middle of a bar... ok...) but what better way to shrug off the awkwardness than by going to a Jewish LES eatery (Sammy's Roumanian [sic]). There was an old dude playing piano and singing Frank Sinatra tunes (he actually sounded good! We thought it was a CD for the longest time), and they even got people to dance the hora.

All the gentiles in the house say What...(TF)?!!

And last for your viewing pleasure I present the Silent Rave. Another NYC summer oddity -- hundreds (of mostly HS age kids I reckon) gathered in Union Square and rocked out to their iPods.

This reveler's outfit said "Robot" in magic marker across the front.
