Whirlwind weekend

Brian visited NY this weekend, and I think we may have set a new record for running around the city!

We met Robyn, Paul and Kanad for drinks Friday at Calle Ocho on the Upper West Side and then grabbed some hamburgers for dinner. Then we went to Satsko, because well, that's where I hang out.

Saturday we walked all around the Gramercy, Union Square and NYU/Washington Square area (for starters). Then we headed to Hell's Kitchen for the Ninth Avenue Food Festival, and then back down to the East Village for a Ukrainian festival and beers at Burp Castle.

I'm working on a pro-bono project right now for a human rights group. Priority Films has 3 films (a narrative and 2 documentaries), and they held a screening/cocktail reception at Soho House in the Meatpacking District Sat. night to generate awareness of the cause.

From there we went to Kin Khao in Soho for a Thai dinner with Shani, Rick, Ab and Eavan. And finally met Charles at Boxcar Lounge for a nightcap.

Sunday morning, we popped out to Brooklyn for a quick look around Williamsburg and walked back across the Bridge. Went down to Chinatown for dim sum, and then walked back to my apt. through NoLita and the Lower East Side.

And then Brian left & I took a nap! But it was a really good weekend overall & I seem to have rebounded from the excursions pretty well.
