(Pretty) Girls and Lasers, the electro duo everyone seems to be whispering about, is moving their monthly party to Happy Ending, and the LES couldn’t be more ecstatic. The boys will be in the DJ booth all night long, starting at 10pm, and from 11-midnight, there will be an Open (and FREE) Vodka Bar! There’s ... Read More →
I have come to the realization that I am a bit of a geek. Do you ever have that thought? Like when you excitedly bought that used collection of the Boxcar Children (#12 – 47) from your neighbor’s stoop sale. Or when you watched “animals-from-different-species-becoming-friends” You Tube videos until 3am on a Saturday night? Or ... Read More →
What do you do when….
Someone runs into you and makes you drop your iPod but they won’t pay for the repairs.
Your friend still owes you money from that time you spotted them to get into Six Flags and you think that they’ve taken so long to pay you back that you deserve interest.
Your favorite drunk ... Read More →
So today is National Pancake Day!! This means that you should go to an IHOP and fill up on your FREE short stack of buttermilk pancakes. Offer good from 7am – 10pm today only. The one catch is that they ask you to consider making a small donation to support a local charity. (I assume ... Read More →

Once upon a time a boy by the name of Odessa was born in ... Read More →
I love robots. As an avid lover of anything SciFi, I’ve encountered many different types of robots amidst the pages of Asimov, old Jetsons reruns, and weird B-quality movies. Take a look at some videos of robots here – dancing and falling and even playing the violin!
Oh. You asked what is dorkbot?
“Dorkbot” is a group ... Read More →
Anyone remember Chumley’s? This restored 1920s speakeasy-turned-restaurant/bar was described in New York Magazine as “cluttered with dog-eared photos of famous writers and the jackets of their most influential tomes… It’s not hard to imagine Hemingway and Fitzgerald bickering in a back corner over a few too many whiskeys.” With a secret Barrow Street entrance, walking ...

I have never been a morning person. As a part-time teaching artist/freelance writer/non-profit founder/occasional babysitter, I tend to make my own work schedule. A lot of the time, that means working til 3 or 4am. So on freezing winter mornings, you’ll usually find me making a cup of coffee and then getting back under the ... Read More →
I like movies. I like the escape they offer, I like being told good stories, and I like the post-film discussions they prompt over steaming hot chocolate. What I do not like is how much they cost. Believe me, I understand the occasional splurge to see Avatar in IMAX 3D for $17, but let’s face ... Read More →
