"Trike"
~ James Jean
Shout out to Nate who introduced me to James Jean. He has some wild stuff, but definitely worth a look if you're in the mood for whimsical with a dash of scary.

It's Just More Fun To Like Than Dislike
I don't think punk rock died insomuch as it just changed its address without bothering to write anyone.
It found a nice town, out in the middle of nowhere, where it could spend less time brooding over its worries, be ignored for the most part, take a casual interest in abstract art, make a few friends, and start a family.

Good Eats
Whist watching one of my favorite TV personalities Anthony Bourdain today, he unveiled his list of top places to eat in NYC that have been around since around the turn of the century, if not before. With the help of some of my "New Yorker" friends. I wish to visit each one of these places to feel some of the old-world style New York that flourished in the days of the immigration of many of our families.
-The first place on the list is Espositos Pork Chop. Founded in 1893, and located in the old neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen.
-Next is Manganeros Groceria. Est. 1895. The quaint grocery shop, still serves the same old worl spaghetti and lasagna that once flourished with the mass influx of italian immigrants of the day.
-We next make our way down to Keen's Chop House. Est. 1885. The place has housed more famous athletes, dignitaries, and celebs than one could ever wrtite down. The size of the portions nearly blew my mind when i saw them.
-We move to a deli made famous by Meg Ryan's faked orgasm in 1989's "When Harry Met Sally", Yes i am talking about Katz's Delicatessan. A place where you can get a piled high pastrami sandwich that has been going on for generations.
-We follow a fake orgasm with a place they have been selling another type of fresh fish since the turn of the century. Russ & Daughters Appetizers. Est. 1907. At Russ they serve up any type of fish imaginable, and each can be tasted and sampled free of charge.
-Located across from the flat-iron building is a sandwich place that hasn't changed since the depression. Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop. Est. 1929.
-The next may look to be my favorite place to visit on my tour of NYC. For it is at Schaller & Weber. Est. 1937, that you can actually order "das boot" straight out of beer fest.
-We move to china town for our next visit to Hop Kee, a tradtitional cantonese resaurant that will surely test my taste buds.
-Finally, for the last remaining stop on the tour we visit Le Veau D'or. A small french restaurant Est. 1938. The man who runs the establishment greets you at the door, make the reservations, and helps serve the food. My kind of place for sure.

Artwork of the Week
"Untitled"
~ Clyfford Still
After watching "Antiques Road Show" on TV last night and witnessing an old lady who had been given an original Clyfford Still painting as a housewarming gift, I remembered how much I like his Abstract Expressionism pieces from his time in NY. Of course, the piece she had was his one of his earlier figurative works and not worth nearly as much money as his later work, but 500k ain't bad for a gift.

Web of bacon
My love of bacon has been well documented over the years, but never have I been more proud to be a bacon connoisseur then today. My friend Cory just sent this link my way:
http://bacolicio.us/
What do you do with it? You put it in front of any website and BOOM you've got bacon! Cory sent it to me like this, but I prefer this.
