Ivan Sandomire at Sidewalk Cafe

After the Shkspr show Eduardo and I met Lee and her friends Emek and Holly at Sidewalk Cafe to hear Ivan Sandomire. He was amazing, especially if you like introverted, tortured souls who can sing.

Sidewalk Cafe has free live music (2 drink minimum, not too strictly enforced plus they pass a bucket around for the artists – suggested $5). I used to go all the time in college to hear Matt Sherwin play on Monday nights. The Trachtenburg Family Sldeshow Players are playing next Friday! I will be in Chicago though.

It is difficult to shoot photos at Sidewalk Cafe because it is really dark there.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)

Saw Phare Play’s The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). It’s like something your really talented friends from college put on and you have a great time. And there are plastic cups of wine sold during intermission – poured generously and only $4.

It’s at the Lodestar Theatre. Make sure you take the address with you. I had the address with me and still walked by it. It’s at 616 Ninth Avenue (between 43rd and 44th.) There is no marquis or sign, just the show’s poster on the door. You have to go up the stairs and there you are. And if your friend is late you will end up texting them during the show while they try to figure out how to get there.

The quality of the video is not that good….but the show is quite fun and is running through April 29th.

New boots

Just bought these at Ricky’s cause my Adidas sneaks are definitely not waterproof.

Are the 80s back and nobody told me?

In the last week I have seen three different women wearing faux leopard skin print leggings…two of them in fluorescent colors.

Yizkor Online

Today, is one of the days when Jewish people remember their dead loved ones and vow to give צדקה (just acts of giving) as a way to remember them.
