Is It Friday Yet?

This is shaping up to be one hell of a week and when I use the word "hell" I mean insanely busy.

Tonight I'm going to Cyndi Lauper's True Colors show. Cyndi, and a ton of other acts including Deborah Harry and Erasure, are playing at Radio City Music Hall, which should be a fun place to see a concert. The only other time I've been there was for the Christmas Craptacular.

Tomorrow, I'll be trucking my fat ass over to the Javits Convention Center (my least favorite place to go in NYC) for a trade show (my least favorite aspect of my job). After spending the day there I'm off to Bubba Gum's Shrimp something in Times Square for a party being thrown by Paramount. Talk about cheap, doesn't Paramount own that restaurant?

On Wednesday, I have a meeting with the producers, including Gelman, of Live With Regis & Kelly to discuss a toy segment we are producing for Thursday's show. I'm also meeting with Disney that day to check out their latest video games. Then Thursday its back to the Live studios for the actual show after which, I'll head back to my office to try and get everything I didn't do during the week done. Thursday night I plan to get good and drunk then sleep it off most of Friday.

PS. I should include here, for anyone that doesn't know, I'm very lazy and would rather hang out at home with a 6-pack than do just about anything else.

Beats & Treats

Speaking of how drunk I got last night (see earlier post) ... Seth and I headed downtown (is it still called downtown if we traveled there from Brooklyn, which is technically even farther down?) to the Cake Shop to see fellow blogger, Lioux, and his band Sister Kisser perform.

The show was great and both Seth & I were blown away by how much we liked Sister Kisser. The Cake Shop, a little place on the lower east side, is actually a bakery/coffee shop on the ground floor with a basement where the bar and stage are located. After the show we met Lioux, who also introduced Seth & I to Colleen of Cokane's bloggery. It was great to finally meet both Lioux and Colleen in person and throw back a few drinks together. On our way out, Seth bought some cupcakes, one of which is sitting in the kitchen right now looking delicious. Seth ate the Chocolate Iced Chocolate cupcake during the cab ride home and described it as "fucking awesome" and "superb". He is talking about going back just for a cupcake.

As usual, we capped off our night with a few more 6-packs back at the apartment and we are both feeling it today. The last thing I wanted to deal with this morning was a surprise visit from my landlord with some lady and a camera informing me that the building is being sold and this lady needs to photograph my apartment. Great! Anyone know of an available apartment?
