Inside The Perimeter

I mean it! Damn, I sometimes feel I need to break my jaw so that I won’t be able to eat. I guess I’d still be drinking too much beer so that’s not the answer afterall.

Singing, Friends And Photos, What More Could I Ask For (how about good beer?)
Last night’s Main Event was my friend Dejie’s CD release party at the Red Chair. I spent an enjoyable evening hanging with (in order of appearance) Maigh (check her site for photos as I left my camera in the car and was too lazy to go and get it), her lovely friend Kim, some guy named Jonathon who apparently has seen every play on Broadway, and two of my favorite people in the world — Stacey and Andy, with an occasional appearance by Dejie’s friend Jennifer.

I had never visited Red Chair before. I was surprised by their (lack of) beer selection (far too limited for this beer snob) and menu (which was surprisingly good and fairly cheap). I’d go back for dinner, but given the establishment’s regular clientele it probably would have to be with a group. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

My night was capped off with a fantastic performance by Dejie and some of her musician friends. Dejie’s music is about 180 degrees from the shows I list in my side galley. However, if you like the show tunes and standards, sung by a woman with much talent, I highly suggest you check out Dejie’s music.

So Many Shows, So Little Time
There are a few shows coming to Atlanta that I am on the fence about. One big reason is that some are at Ticketmaster venues and I really hate doing business with them. Can anyone give me advice on these?

• 19-Sep: Of Montreal (TBA)
• 26-Sep: Bloc Party (Tabernacle)
• 29-Sep: Decemberists (Tabernacle)
• 17-Oct: The New Pornographers (Variety Playhouse) — probably will go, if tickets ever go on sale

While I am at it, can anyone suggest an alternative website to Pollstar for finding out what concerts are coming to town? I am sick and tired of Pollstar’s allowance of popup advertisements. (I am using Firefox on Linux, but some dickhead developers found a way around their popup blocker).

One Is The Loneliest Number
I need one of these wristbands

Sadly the reason I need one is to remind myself that I should be eating for one. Who knows, maybe it will also help me stop drinking more than one beer as well. With this sort of crazy logic I might actually start losing weight…

Oooh, He’s A Little Runaway
I’ll be making my much heralded return to exercising tonight (weather permitting, of course). Care to cheer me on? Want to make sure I don’t order the bacon bleu burger with fries, or drink more than one beer? Then show up George’s bar in the Highlands tonight for the Wednesday night running. It is Wednesday today, right?

Not that I need it, mind you. Today I am headed to a far away land known as Cobb county for a job fair.

Today will be a simple blog focused on one word “courtesy”, oh and since it’s Tuesday I’ll also have my CD release pick.

Courtesy
noun
1. a. Polite behavior.
b. A polite gesture or remark.
2. a. Consent or agreement in spite of fact; indulgence: They call this pond a lake by courtesy only.
b. Willingness or generosity in providing something needed: free advertising through the courtesy of the local newspaper.

adj.
1. Given or done as a polite gesture: paid a courtesy visit to the new neighbors.
2. Free of charge: courtesy tickets for the reporters.

It seems to me that being courteous is a simple act, ignored by many in today’s society.

Here are some things to think about

• Let others exit a train or elevator prior to trying to board
• Wait until you have the walk signal, especially when a turn signal is present
• When walking two or more abreast move over to allow oncoming walkers (or runners) their “fair share” of a sidewalk
• Say “Please” and “Thank you”

I’ll step down from my soapbox now.

Music For The Masses
School is back in session, time to buy some new music for that phat iPod 60Gig that you got this summer. Oh who am I kidding, kids today steal all of their music. But I digress…

My friend Andy’s favorite band 311 releases another mammoth cd today. Since I saw these white boys rap in Huntsville, Alabama back in 1993/1994 I’ve gotten over them.

Stryper is back, actually according to the title of their new cd they have been Reborn. Interesting, it looks like they will be once again touring the country tossing bibles to their fans. I wonder if they still have those bumblebee Spandex pants? Nope, I just can’t bring myself to pick their cd either.

What if I jump into the WayBack Machine and go even further back in time, back to a time when I was young, and life was great, the 1980’s? The BoDeans release of “Homebrewed: Live From The Pabst”. I am generally not a big fan of live albums (although Husker Du’s “The Living End” will rock my world until I pass), but these guys have been around for twenty years, so I should give the old guys some props.

However, one of my friends Dejie Johnson is releasing her first solo cd today called “Why Try to Change Me Now?”. How could I not be courteous and pick her cd as my Pick Of The Day? Good luck, Dejie.

I go away for four days and you people let gas prices go nuts? Up 20 cents per gallon? WTF?

As you might imagine from my last two blog entries, I had a fantastic time in New York. Four days may be the perfect amount of time to spend there. I was tired of being a tourist, but still envious of the amount of things to do.

Missions Accomplished

• Ate a vendor hot dog, pretzel, and pastrami on rye
• Went to Metropolitan Museum of Art
• Went to Guggenheim Museum (a bit disappointing, actually)
• Saw “GlennGary Glen Ross” just off Broadway
• Drank a papaya drink from Papaya King (Seinfeld reference)
• Ate dinner with my brother and sister-in-law
• Used camera, but not as much as I wanted
• Strolled around Ground Zero and Battery Park
• Bought a “genuine leather” wallet from a street vendor for $5
• Stayed in the perfect hotel for me (Hotel Thirty Thirty)
• Found free WiFi (not really that hard in NYC)

Missions Failed

• Seeing Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
• Eating a knish, or finding White Rock soda
• Eating at a “famous chef” restaurant (I was even around the corner from Bourdain’s Les Halles!)
• Never made it to Whitestone, my real hometown. I was hoping to take a picture of the house in which I grew up.
• Riding the Staten Island Ferry
• See a Yankee’s game (Mets were not in NY) — I passed because it was 100 degrees on Saturday
• Spending real time in Central Park (again it was hot!)

Would I do it again? In a fucking New York second!

Under The Tall Buildings
I spent a lot of time looking for things in Manhattan. I never could seem to remember where anything was. Most of that time was either walking or riding the subway (loved the MetroCard, kinda sad that they no longer use tokens). Over on my Flickr account (InsideThePerimeter) I’ve uploaded some pictures, including the things that intrigued me the most — subway mosaics. Here is a picture of my favorite mosiac

Imagine the cost of trying to install mosaics throughout the entire subway line if you were to build it today.

I’ll Have What She’s Having
One of my last “touristy” things in New York was a ($12.50) pastrami sandwich at Katz’ Deli (opened in 1888!). Many people have seen Katz’ Deli and never known it; it was the deli in which Harry and Sally had lunch and Sally fakes the orgasm in the movie When Harry Met Sally. There is a sign above the table which was used in the movie, somehow I found myself sitting at that very table. TOURIST!!!

While I cannot say that the pastrami sandwich was orgasmic, it was incredibly good, especially when washed down with a Dr. Brown’s cream soda.

Pub Crawl — NYC Style
On Saturday night I went for a solo, early-evening pub crawl. The original intent was to drink my way uptown and meet my friend Kevin when he made it to Doc Watson’s (where I coincidentally had the Rheingold on Thursday). Having a 7:30am flight Sunday morning limited my crawl, but not my enthusiasm.

I managed four different bars, scattered about Manhattan.

• The Bleeker Street Pub (NoHo)
• The Crime Scene (NoHo — located across the street from CBGB)
• Some unknown bar which was empty (Upper East Side)
• Jack Russell’s (Upper East Side)

There were some others such as The Slaughtered Lamb, McSorley’s and The Black Sheep that I wanted to hit, but was never able to find or get to.

I’ll give myself an ‘A’ for effort, but a ‘C’ for execution.

The Bronx is up and the Battery’s down. I should have remembered that when I mistakenly got on the F train and realized that I was headed for Coney Island instead of uptown.

Meet Me At The Met
If you like art, as I do, and you are in New York, as I am, I highly suggest that you visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

(btw- that’s just one of the wings inside the building)

Too large to really see everything in one day, I roamed the museum for about two and a half hours yesterday.

There is a phenomena that did not exist the last time I visited the Met, taking photographs of the art. Once considered taboo, the museum now allows it probably because so many people are doing it that they couldn’t police it. I chuckled often at the thought of all of these pictures being stored in digital shoeboxes throughout the world.

The Camera’s Eye, The Photographer’s Shake
I have a great eye for photograhpy (in my opinion). What I don’t seem to have is a great set of arms and hands for photography. Many of my pictures, including the one of a painting that I took inside the museum, are coming out blurry. Rats.

Eat, Drink, And Be Merry
Yesterday’s New York diet consisted of a diner breakfast (eggs, corned beef hash, potatoes, and coffee), a lunch stop at the restaurant at which my friend Sother was working, and a late-night (by my standards) slice of pizza.

Did I mention that I also had six beers? The final of which was one of New York’s oldest, Rheingold. Anyone want to wager on who will be starting a diet Monday?

Always Be Closing
The impetus for this trip was finding out that “GlennGary Glen Ross” was being revived as a play (starring tv’s Alan Alda). Not that I really needed reason to justify a trip to New York, coming up just to see a play seemed like the type of trip I would normally like to do, but wouldn’t. It also didn’t hurt that I was able to get a ticket in the center of the second row.

While I enjoyed the play immensely, it didn’t have the impact on me the way the movie always has.

Strange Days Are Here
After finishing up drinking with Sother I caught the 6 train headed to lower Manhattan. As I was walking down Lexington Strange Thing #1 happened — I ran into one of the three people who I know in Manhattan. That’s right, in a city of millions I coincidentally ran into one of the three people I know who live here. Go fucking figure!

Strange thing #2 occurred later in the evening. As I walked back to the hotel from the theater I noticed an arrow, then another. At the next corner I looked down to find what I had supposed — a hashing checkpoint. Yep, in the middle of lower Manhattan I accidently stumbled over Wednesday night’s New York City Hash trail.

Today I plan to be a complete tourist.

How’s This For Accomodation?
The hotel room I am in is tiny. It’s “This is not Awesome” tiny. People who like fancy schmancy accomodations need not stay here, at least not in the one I am in. BTW - I love it! It is exactly what I need in a hotel room.

This is essentially the entire room.

The Teddy Bear is provided by the hotel. The brick wall in the picture is real and is one of my “views”.

Introducing, The Shoilet
What do you call the closet that functions both as a shower and a toilet? The Shoilet, of course!

Hungover To Dry
I’ve already relearned

• NYC is hot, real hot in August
• is it possible to get a sunburn walking in Manhattan
• hangovers hurt

I got to meet up with my friend Sother yesterday. Sother, a relatively recent transplant to NY, carries his Not For Tourists bible along with him so he knows hot to get to all of the cool places in the city.

Sother and I took off on foot and headed to Union Square. Dinner was at Blue Water Grill and fantastic. After seafood and beer, we stomped down to SoHo for beverages at Milano’s and then to NoHo for a few more at Tom & Jerry’s.

Completely hammered we hopped the train (I am now a MetroCard holder — subway here I come) and then I toddled back to the hotel.

This is very awesome!

I’m Flying To New York And Boy Are My Arms Getting Tired
That’s my explanation for the tardiness of today’s entry. COOL!! This is being posted using an open wireless connection from the hotel (more on that tomorrow).

Flying A Different Friendly Skies
It’s not that I am Atlanta-brand loyal, but I usually fly Delta. However, this trip finds me flying American Airlines. It was early when I left the house, so I continually had to repeat to myself “I am flying American. I am flying American” so that I didn’t go into auto-pilot and wind up trying to fly Delta.

T Gate? Really? Shit!
I wonder if any airports have been built since 9/11. In typical fashion I went through the security check-in at the airport and forgot to look up my gate location. It is really hard figuring out your concourse and gate once you are on the “other side” of security.

After making the (incorrect) assumption that I’d never be departing from the ‘T’ gate, I headed out to the ‘A’ gate in hopes that I would be correct, or at least find a master panel of departing flights. Somewhere between gates ‘A’ and ‘B’ I located the toll-free phone number for American Airlines and found out that I was indeed headed in the wrong direction.

A quick u-turn got me headed in the right direction.

‘Scuse Me, You Look Familiar
I grew up in a small town in New York called Whitestone. Most people who have heard of Whitestone it’s because they have heard of the Whitestone Expressway or the Whitestone Bridge.

My family moved away from Whitestone twenty-eight years ago. To this day I can probably name the names of the seven families who lived between our house and the end of our street. I mention this because today I cannot name the two families who live next door to me in Atlanta. Strange.

Also strange was a man who looked a lot like my best friend Louie from Whitestone. I suppose the man looked as I would imagine Louie would look at forty. The miniscule probability of it actually being Louie convinced me not to go ask him his name.

So Far, So Good
So far this flight has been spectacular! Due to the small number of people who fly early on a Wednesday morning I was able to escape to an empty row once the seatbelt was turned off. This was necessary since a young couple sat in the row in front of my assigned seat, and insisted on reclining their seats back immediately upon take off. I swear that if I could fuse all airline seats in the “upright and locked” position I would do so.

Music: New York Style
If all goes to plan I will be seeing some live music tonight. There is a free concert at the South Street Seaside. I’m hoping to get a leg up on the Atlanta fans of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah by seeing them tonight. I just hope it’s not as crowded as the Weezer concert a month ago.

The subject line is an homage to my friend Glenn, who was so intrigued by a girl’s t-shirt last night he went up to compliment her. In doing so he also found out that the shirt glowed in the dark. Hmmm, glow in the dark eh?… Glenn’s night was further improved by the gift of a free pair of underwear given to him by the people at the table next to us. Apparently these people own their own underwear business. It was a strange night indeed.

But enough about Glenn, this is my blog.

So This Is How The ‘Other Half’ Lives?
It was a skeleton crew for Meet the Hashers last night at Taco Mac. The team consisted of Glenn, Bill, and myself. The lack of female presence apparently rocked our trivia boat as we missed many questions and finished far out of the money. I think that there is a word to describe teams that do this, oh yeah, “losers.” I don’t like being one of these.

More Dimwittedness
Today I was also one of “those people” on the road. Somehow I managed to turn my headlights to the “parking/fog light” position during my early-morning commute. I realized my error one block from the office.

To those of you I have cursed in the past for being such idiots as to not even know when your headlights are not on, I am sorry. To the people who may not have seen the Jackmobile slithering along the Connector or 400 around 6:30am, I am even sorrier.

Seminoles Are Offensive!
This has little to do with the NCAA’s ruling that schools should not be using indians as symbols.

INDIANAPOLIS — The presidents and chancellors who serve on the NCAA Executive Committee have adopted a new policy to prohibit NCAA colleges and universities from displaying hostile and abusive racial/ethnic/national origin mascots, nicknames or imagery at any of the 88 NCAA championships.

(full story)

Kinda ironic that this press release is from Indianapolis, no?

I mention this because I am a Florida Gator and football season is nearing so I thought I should poke a little fun at one of my in-state rivals while I still can.

I Now Have Something In Common With Marc Cohn
While reading Fat Asian Baby’s blog this morning (you do read Fat Asian Baby’s blog, don’t you?) I saw the headline “Marc Cohn shot in the head during a carjacking in Denver.” Ok, I wasn’t shot, but I was carjacked.

I mention this mostly because I can never remember the name of the guy who did the song “Walking In Memphis”. Now I shall never forget.

The Music Industry Is Driving Me Fucking Nutty
Here is a list of the artists releasing music today.

• Staind
• Pennywise
• Nickel Creek
• Hootie & The Blowfish
• Ol’ Dirty Bastard
• Stephen Stills
• Juliana Hatfield
• Tommy Lee
• Rooster

Ok, write Hootie off immediately. Staind? Nah, never been a fan. Nickel [corrected] Creek? Rooster? Never heard of either of them. Tommy Lee? He’s still alive? Who is he screwing these days? Steven Stills? He’s still alive? Oooh, the thought of him having sex turns my stomach. ODB? Pennywise? Maybe, but I don’t know either of them well enough to pick their stuff without a listen. Juliana Hatfield? I guess she wins through the process of elimination.

A look at the calendar tells me that today is the day last year that I went out for a quick errand to pick up propane for the bbq and gas for the lawn mower. Today is my one-year “anniversary” of getting carjacked upon my return home from running this errand. For those new to my world, the whole story can be read as Part Two of my three-part 2004 wrap up called The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Today is the day that the Red Rocket lost her virginity and became the Jackmobile.

I wish I could say that I had a really cool update (I don’t), or that this experience taught me something that made me a better person (I didn’t). Truth be told it probably made me more of an asshole than I ever was before.

But enough of the bad shit. Today is a day to celebrate!

Rain Man
Let me guess, it’s probably going to rain today. At some point this has to stop. Everywhere I go it seems to rain. It even rained in Las Vegas, which is in a desert! I am starting to feel like one of the Gruesomes.

C’mon say it with me… “Hello Mr. Fleeentstone.”

Yesterday’s rain was a double whammy, spoiling both a morning bike ride and the ending of a very fun hash. Hrmph!

Monday Morning Poker Tip
Don’t go “all in” when holding K-8 offsuit, even when the flop comes up K-6-K. Why not? Because the guy to your right might be holding K-J, and your ass will be booted from the tourney. Take my word for it, it can happen.

That tip is free of charge. Consider it my gift to you, in addition to the rain.

Random _(Apple) Thoughts _(Apple) About _(Apple) Saturday
Decked out in my finest Old Navy American Flag t-shirt from 2003 I headed to Lenox Mall on Saturday. That’s where we Beautiful People roll on the weekend, you know.

Eventhough a bit of a belly pooch is all the rage among us Beauts, I felt it necessary to get some exercise after eating All I Can Eat Chinese Buffet for lunch. I frequent the one ironically located next door to Jenny Craig on Sidney Marcus (btw- you can read how that skinny little bitch Robyn lost 29 pounds thanks to Jenny by following this link).

Because I am now an official Apple Switcher I headed to the rarified air of the Apple store where only the select few of us who are both handsomely gifted and weathly enough to buy Apple products mingle. Has somebody been subliminally dropping Apple’s name everywhere? The Apple store was frantic as if they were giving things away (not like Apple at all)! And not to sound too catty, the people in there were definitely not the same crowd I see sipping on Mocha Affogatos at Starbucks. I’m just saying.

I think that I might have to wait for an apology and a private shopping invite before I return…

Yes, I woke up on the wrong side of the couch this morning.

It’s 9am on a Friday and I am ready to take off the gloves.

Eyecandy Land
I may hate my new commute as well as the lack of ethnic restaurants in the land of white bread, but holy fucking shit the amount of hot women out here is incredible! Sure, I realize that they are probably SUV-driving as well as Republican-voting, and just like fine art (I may look, but I may not touch), but if I spend more time in this neighborhood I might not ever need Viagra. (ed note: not that I need Viagra now because walking around with a woody with no place to put it is completely sad)

I Might Be The Oldest, But I’ll Outlive You All!!!
The Atlanta MetroBloggers met up last night at Manuel’s Tavern to celebrate the first birthday of Atlanta MetroBlogging. Out of a group of perhaps fifteen, including some “readers”, I was the oldest (at forty?!).

Here’s a message to you youngsters from American Legend Johnny Cash

I come from a genetic era where parents smoked and drank (in addition to other drug addictions), we never wore seat belts, bike helmets were for wimps, and toy guns looked like real guns, AND WE LIKED IT!

That culture weeded out the genetically inferior leaving only the strong willed and strong livered — that would be me.

Yes Virginia, The Muppet Show Sucked!
You can keep Fraggle Rock as well. In conjunction with the last paragraph, I am too old to give two shits about either of these.

The first of the spending spree credic statements came in yesterday. Oooh my baby’s daddy is gonna have to fork over some major cash these next few months. It’s funny how Visa / Mastercard / Amex can keep track of every purchase I make. Shit, I can’t even manage that! Look out New York, this spending fool will be in the 2-1-2 next week. I’ve got plastic, and I know how to use it.

How Have I Made It To Forty?
Not even Dr. Atkins would have approved of my diet last night. I skipped the George’s Bar running and drinking for The Highlander standing and drinking. It was a Farewell Happy Hour for my friend Diane who is packing up and moving out the ATL.

I tried to buy food on the drive home, but everything that sounded delicious was closed by the time I headed home. So I was left with constructing a meal at the house. I can sum up the current contents of my refrigerator in just a few words — beer, condiments. Oh and then there was that new package of Sargento Mozzarella cheese.

I doubt that I should admit this, but last night’s dinner consisted of an entire package of sliced mozzarella cheese with “dark beer” mustard (actually not a bad combination) and a Coke.

If only an adult lived in my house…

Some Whine With My Cheese
Is it any surprise that I had one of the worst nights of sleep in recent memory last night? Maybe it was dinner, maybe it was my inability to get the temperature just right, maybe my body had decided that sleeping on a couch every night is a bad idea.

The good thing about not being able to sleep it makes it impossible to oversleep. I was on the road by 6am this morning and my commute (read “drive”) to work took only twenty-five minutes. Somehow I think that it will take considerably longer tonight.

And For My Next Trick…
Tonight I will be destroying my appetite at Manuel’s Tavern for the first birthday of Atlanta MetroBlogging (my “moonlighting gig” from this blog).

I’ll be the one wearing the hipster Pumas with a hashing t-shirt, and beer glass attached firmly to hand.

Oooh! I’ve Been Selected To Receive A Free PS3
What’s really impressive is that the PS3 is not due out until sometime 2006! I hate these Free (iPod, XBOX, yadda yadda yadda) schemes. They are an annoyance, and anyone who perpetuates this shit is a sucka.

Whew, glad to get that off my chest.
