LimelightEver since the deconsecrated church at 6th Ave & 20th street was re-opened as Avalon a few years back, I've wanted to go. I never made it when we lived here because it was too cheesy/expensive/long line/etc. All dumbass excuses. elly & I went tonight with egg & Nick, and had a total blast. It was a trip to a different cultural dimension, with friends to look out for each other. We went to go listen to and see Richie Hawtin (no longer bald, much to our confusion!) drop banging techno on the best soundsystem in NYC. It was worth it, and more. We spent $100 before the first round of drinks was done; it was totally overpriced, filled with underaged kids and guidos, and great! We staked out a nice spot on the balcony to do our dancing, met some nice peoples, and just bounced and hopped around for hours. It was grand. The trip home involved the ABBA hour in a cab on the way to a stop for pizza at Famous Joe's (shout out to Jeremy for that one!), a beautiful pre-dawn ride across the Manhattan Bridge, and dawn is just now breaking outside Pete's window. New York put out today. elly & I wandered SoHo in the rain and gloomyness, and we just didn't care. Eating at the tasty Caravan always helps :) Sometimes, you just have fun. I learn lessons every day, it seems. Some are harder to digest, others pretty transparent. I need to focus on paitence & understanding. Things always work out better when I demonstrate these traits, and usually get pretty fucked up when I don't. Rocket science here, huh? :)
