In town...

This is for Thomas & Nikki whom I met for dinner the other night at Manny's. I posted. I've been very lazy on this blog keeping it up to date. So find me on facebook and say Hi.

word.

I'll be in Atlanta from the 15-20th of this month for training at work. If your around, look me up. I should have some free time in the evenings.

YES I'm still here.

I've been traveling a lot lately and work has been kinda busy as well, but I'm STILL living in NYC. In fact, I move to the Upper West Side in 2 weeks to 70th & Amsterdam. I'll be near Lincoln Center, Central Park, and the express trains. I love Park Slope, but Manhattan has all my friends, work, church, bars, cafes, etc.. that I attend regularly.

Sorry about that. :)

Spider - Maaaaaaan!



Well here's some news. Apparently NYC's most popular super hero will be leaving the big screen and hitting Broadway.

From the article:

"The musical will be directed by Tony Award-winner Julie Taymor with U2's Bono and The Edge creating new music and lyrics for the project," Marvel said in a statement....

"We are certain this project will delight fans of Spider-Man and new audiences alike," said David Maisel, chairman of Marvel Studios, whose previous Broadway credits include spearheading the 1999 award-winning musical "Fosse" about the life and work of showman Bob Fosse.

So there you have it kids. The hero in tights, will be spinning his web and singing his spidey-heart out in the next year, most likely.  Will it be good? Hard to say. I'm more curious how the effects on stage will reproduce his web-slinging. 

I do think, musically, that Bono & Edge might crank out some good tunes. Maybe even recycle some of their material into the show. Maybe the song they used in the Batman Forever soundtrack... its a good one.

And I can see Peter Parker & Mary Jane in a love ballad, low spotlight, and burst out in passionate song... "Suddenly  Seymour Peter! Is right there beside me!..."  (wait.. that sounds too familiar)

John came to visit this weekend. It was an awesome time. I've composed a longer report here, but you can just look a the pics below to sum up the weekend.

Weekend fun in Brooklyn.

While it was April 7th, somehow the weather was still in the mid 30's all day. There were supposed to be more of us going to Coney Island, but some are just too scared. I went with some of my Cali friends (and two of their friends visiting). We ate some Nathan's hot dogs, rode the Cyclone, then wandered back to the Brooklyn Bridge area for some ice cream and scenery.
