bbq and bonnaroo

[sunday] 06 10 06
i bought bright red lipstick yesterday. i went to sephora and after ignorant saleswomen passed me around like the wine spritzers they share after work, i found this amazing chick who knew exactly what i was talking about and helped me find the prefect shade. ill put up a picture when i wear it. i feel so 1940s glam when i have it on.

i spent the day at a bbq festival in madison square park. the lines for food were really long, but worth the wait. some of the best baked beans id ever had - hell, a girl from tennessee who said "I drank the bbq sauce that was came out of my mom's teet" even agreed with me. there was also free music all afternoon, including an amazing new orleans jazz band that played a little of everything - jazz, blues, zydeco, funk - it was awesome, even those i was one of the dozen or so people in the who damn place really dancing around and have a good time.

it definitly made me desperatly want to be one of the lucky ones going to bonaroo next weekend. i meet some other guy who went to bonaroo the year before last, but he said he left early on sunday because of the rain. pussy.
(he was referring to the same rain that formed the lake of shit/puke/urine water we all waited so paitently in)

i also had the best meal of my life since ive been down here. after the bbq fest, molly and i went down to brooklyn to visit emily, which is becoming my sunday ritual. i REALLY love her neighborhood, her apartment, everything - i'm pretty sure i want to move to brooklyn after i graduate - or at least that summer, it sucks moving in the winter.

but back to the meal - we went to a peruvian resturant in park slope (a neighborhood in brooklyn) where we were served plantain chips as a free appetizer. there was a lot of seafood on the menu, but i opted for a half chicken with a baked sweet potato and fried plantain - and of course I sampled emily's and molly's food as well. the portions were huge, which is always a plus because now i have lunch, and probably dinner, tomorrow. it was delicious.

here's my interesting fact for the day: weed delivery services -- think half baked -- are how people get their shit in nyc. amazing.
