day 370

WOW!!!

Brooklyn day, for sure!

Got up predawn, checked the job, all quiet, good. Off to Prospect Park, GREAT parking spot, napped, got my bib and chip (they be kickin' it old skool, yo!), did the 5k. Niiice. SERIOUS runners, I was def a fish outta water, but did ok, esp for Prospect Park.

Then, did the hang in the cool/hipster section. This area really has become the Greenwich Village of 2010. BUT, hadda jump the train to go to the IFC center to catch a limited release flick, then, back to Brooklyn.

WHAT A FRIGGIN' LINE! Sonic Youth was doing a free concert (fundraiser for the Prospect Park Alliance), so, the line went over the hills and far away. BUT, got a GREAT spot once inside. WOW. They really kicked ass. First ehard of them-and Social Distortion-thanks to Neil, they opened for him a few tours ago. Great taste Neil, and thanks!!! God bless them for NOT selling out after all these years, AND keeping the punk ethos strong. I'd mary Kim Gordon in a second!

Forgot what it was like to be packed like a sardine, but the crowd was WAY cool, with none of the typical concert security assholes telling you all the shit you CAN'T do.

A GREAT day.
