Standing outside Grimaldi's Pizza Friday night I heard the following conversation:
20 something guy: So Monday is Cinco De Mayo
20 something girl: Yeah, what is that about anyway?
20 something guy: I think there was a battle and the Mexicans all got massacred, except five of them.
20 something girl: Oh
20 something guy: And then I think the final five Mexicans got massacred too.
Marketing apparently has it's limits. Next year we'll discuss the origins of St. Patrick's Day: the day Leprechauns ate all the potatoes in Ireland.
In other news, this penthouse in the Clocktower building in Dumbo recently sold for over $7,000,000.00. I partied there (like a freakin' rock star!) twice. A friend was the personal assistant to the owner and would house sit periodically. We would visit on those occasions. Probably the first and only time Philly blunts were cracked in that place. We were not worthy.
In music news, saw the Verve last Monday in the Garden. Wasn't familiar with their music but couldn't turn down a free ticket (think music to listen to while shrooming - so I've been told). Also been enjoying Cut Copy (think '80s new wave) and Estelle (think Lauryn Hill).
