A Little Erotica, A Little Porn
I finally managed to make it to Rachel’s In the Flesh reading series after several months of scheduling conflicts. Although I certainly enjoyed the readings/performances, my favorite part of the evening was seeing so many people whom I hadn’t seen in way too long (okay, there are probably more links, but I was getting lazy

Weekend Wrapup
The few moments last weekend I didn’t spend either at the movies (Poseidon at the IMAX), chowing down on swine (Pigfest), or on the couch recovering (from Hallie’s wedding), I was apparently mugging for the camera with Doug. Lovely, aren’t we? Pictures of the Pigfest and a few from the wedding where my tongue isn’t

Fame
A recent conversation made it to Overheard in New York. Ah, good times. Between brunch, mint juleps, margaritas, falafel from Taim, a bike ride up to the Cloisters, frisbee for the first time since 1992, a trip to Morimoto for the great noodle challenge, a few great bottles of wine, Sicilian chocolate, some tasty cheese

Ahh . . . Sleep
After a lovely dinner last night with Bill, Katie, and John B. at al di la (the asparagus salad and the lamb special were my two personal favorites of the evening) and drinks at the Ear Inn afterwards, I slept a little late this morning, which I feel like I haven’t done in a while.

Time for a Post
I know, I know. Haven’t posted in ages. Mea culpa. I’ve just been knocking myself out at Gothamist, so all of my posting energy is being sapped. It’s sad. So what can I tell you about the weekend (I’m not even going to try to catch up on last week. It’s so . . .

Back from the Jaunt Across the Pond
Still a little jetlagged/tired, but at least now the pictures are up. Highlights, in a nutshell: Guys & Dolls, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?, Fino, dim sum, Christopher, Westminster Abbey, Borough Hall Market, strolling along the banks of the Thames, Cambridge, the Great Eastern Hotel, those awesome biscuits which would be the death of me

Sunday Evening Respite
Made it back in one piece from Philly and proceeded directly to brunch with the lovely ladies from the beach house at AOC, then headed to the Duplex for some cocktails and celebrity-spotting (Sarah Jessica Parker and Philip Seymour Hoffman — must have been the day for three-name celebs). After that, the 7th annual East

Mmm . . . Cheesesteaks
This week’s destination is sunny Philadelphia, where I haven’t been in a few years. Although I’m going for the Equal Justice Conference, my mind’s really only on one thing. Take a wild guess.

Crawfish!
Gotta love it when you smell a crawfish boil halfway down the block and stumble upon this in the doorway of Royal Grocery in the French Quarter. I didn’t eat any this time around because we had just come from lunch at Acme Oyster House (finally! oysters on the half shell + soft shell crab
