The one with the lonesome traveller March 1, 2010

Thought I’d stand, metaphorically, on the edge of the grand canyon today and write another blog post to the invisible masses. In truth I don’t expect anyone (other than perhaps my blogging buddy) to read this. As I write I am sitting in The Archive cafe, east williamsburg, NYC. Mark and I visited this cool [...]

‘The one with the watercolours and splashy cymbals’ June 4, 2009

We had bright hopes for our penultimate day in the Big Apple and set off instruments in-hand optimistic for some busking dream spots and a recording deal by lunchtime. It rained. So instead we met up with another new friend Sarah and popped over to the metropolitan museum of art for few hours. As we [...]

‘The one with the CD launch party and the amazing indoor busking venue’ June 2, 2009

Last night we went to the launch party of a new artist called Kate Pazakis, she sings Broadway style power ballads and is a client of Angela’s casting company I believe. It was a pretty fun night despite the fact that the under 21 rule hit Will and he was branded with black Xs on [...]

‘The one with the brand new starbucks employees, the gospel church and the singing waiter’ June 1, 2009

I’m pretty amazed by the generosity of some of the people we’ve met here, I sit writing this blog on a comfy couch, in a proper home with yet more food so very kindly being cooked by Duke in the kitchen. I almost can’t believe that we met Duke and Angela under a week ago [...]

‘The one with the DVD Library, the amazing view and the Bat Bike’ May 31, 2009

Yesterday was a bit of a break day for us, we decided to act like tourists, leave our instruments behind and explore more of NYC’s delights and delectations. We started the day a bit late (candle burning had slightly got the better of us) and thought we’d check out one of East Williamsburg food related [...]

‘The one with I’m still Brian’ May 30, 2009

The busking continued in full force today, after what was a rather damp yesterday. In fact today turned out to be gloriously sunny. Washington Park was the stage for our first set, although I think we were sharing the park with the filming of ‘Step it Up 3 – Out of the boardroom’, wonders will [...]

‘The one with the impaired vision’ May 28, 2009

So we decided today was the perfect day for a trip to Staten Island to get great views of the statue of liberty. It was, if you are the guy who specialises in making those New York in the fog postcards. Today, was a rainy day, but we’re on holiday so the sun is always [...]

‘The one with the Whole Food’ May 28, 2009

This is the Whole Food store near Central park, it has a great selection of canteen food stuffs in the basement, it would be fair to say we enjoyed it. Here are Will and Alexia posing with their foodstuffs for your visual feasting.

‘The one with the Englishmen in New York’ May 27, 2009

Ok, so this story starts with a photo and a location, but is a tale of human interaction, so bear with me. Here goes. Will just spent half the day agonising over his latest new guitar purchase, but at 8 o’clock this evening, after a trip to the golden arches to feed the decision, we [...]

‘The one with the initially questionable but ultimately appealing desert’ May 26, 2009

Ok, so this is another food related post, but I’m not sorry, food is a good gift from above and consequently deserves a few blog inches. This time we’re talking desert. Aparently this next idea has already peaked in New York, with the popularity dying off a little in recent years, but it’s new to [...]
