For The Record

Unseen NYC

Unseen NYC is a photo blog that posts images from all over the city. It's usually shit like graffiti, street art, weird structures, garbage and shit like that. Basically all the stuff residents see all the time but you'll never see on a postcard. Anyway, over the years I've been amassing quite a collection of exactly these types of photos so I sent some in. This weekend they posted a photo I took of a sidewalk chalk Virgin Mary (I think it's Mary, I'm not so good with religious idolatry).

Tonight: GWAR Crack-A-Thon Opening; Wild Yaks @ Don Pedros

GWAR is in town for some kind of art gallery event. Tonight is the opening party and I have no idea what to expect. That said there's no way I'm missing this. Also, Wild Yaks are back in NYC after 3 months on the road. They're playing Don Pedro's and it's a totally unannounced show. Not sure about time or cover but just go, it'll be good fun.
