Seeing Pearl Jam live! Thirty times. THIRTY TIMES!!!
music, music, music. reading. cooking. ikea. going to concerts...many, many concerts. "your mom" jokes. stars. tattoos. the mets. vegetarianism. checking my horoscope and always deciding it's trash. telling it how it is. thunderstorms. being a hardass but also allowing myself to have a good cry once in awhile. canada, my new obsession. drinking. writing lists. writing lists while drinking. whoreing it up for the camera. blaming everything on pms. yelling. yelling at you. yelling at strangers. yelling at whoever deserves it. needing to know the ingredients in everything. wanting to learn the bagpipes in the worst way. belching like a mofo. obscene gestures. buying toys for my cat, which he never uses. andy warhol. collecing vinyl. proofreading. sticking to my guns.

Betsey Johnson dresses + Doc Martens = LOVE.
Petrified of UFOs and aliens. My coworker and her friend think they saw a UFO in Jersey this past weekend and ever since they told me, I've been shitting bricks over it.
I'm kind of done with living in NYC, though there's nothing I can do about it at the moment except for whine and complain. Lucky for me, I'm very good at these two things. But since I'm TRYING (really, really trying) to not be so dang negative all the time, here's some things about NYC that I love (and would dearly miss if/when I decide to uproot from this cesspool of a city):
- The Mets. I will even learn to love Citifield.
- Real, authentic cuisine from any area of the globe.
- Every band (well, except for NOFX) pretty much will play NYC on all of their U.S. tours.
- Theater, theater, theater.
- 24-hour transportation (via subway and cabs...and both have peculiar scents)
- Doc Holliday's, so long as it's not a hipster night.
- Watching ice skaters fall at Rockefeller Center.
- F.A.O. Schwartz
- Betsey Johnson sample sales.
Who I'd like to meet: I'll state the obvious and say all members of Pearl Jam. Duh.
I'd also like to meet whoever was the genius behind the making of smores (vegan smores, of course).
While I'm at it, I'd love to have coffee with Judge Judy.
Wait...what? This isn't three wishes to be granted?
Not bad for having spent minimal time developing it. But that's why my guys are so damn good. All I have to do is manage not to screw it up to the point of earning the nickname BLOW Code. Ha!
As always, thanks to you and hubby-to-be for your presence, passion and energy. Hope to catch you in a social context soon. - Tony
you and Neel are officially my favorite couple! remind me of me and Chris when we were "kids." love you!! we need to get together as soon as the mild weather sticks around. xoxoxox
You're right, we don't attract the hipster crowd. We attract the hipster DOOFUS crowd, as in the term Elaine used to characterize Kramer in another scene set in NYC. The doofus types rock just as hard as the grun-- ... ah, nevermind. -Tony
I believe I was dating myself (something I do a lot of these days in another context) with that reference to Mr. Murray as a "not-ready-for-prime-time player". Americans of my generation know it to be the nickname of Saturday Night Live's original cast (like how I edumacate the young ones?). I should hope Old Bill doesn't show up at Sull Hall (it's how the kids refer to it) and shoot us his trademark deadpan look, or else NO CODE would be ruined for the night. Angst-filled grunge and uncontrollable laughter don't mix. - Tony
There'll be no sign of Bill Murray at the Sullivan show. Know why? He'll always be a not-ready-for-prime-time player, while NO CODE is set to take the stage at 10 sharp!
Hate to break the news to you, but it's the result of MySpace being screwy again. The top spot has always been reserved for Pearl Jam (well, duh). All I tried to do was an add/drop, and now the "order" (do we have a caste system going on here?) has gone haywire. As per matters within our control, we may have a surprise for you on Feb. 6 ... being so close to Arbor Day and all. - Tony
Hey at least I didn't pop the question on myspace ehh? Is it sad that I saw Alyse's clip of MTV presents Nirvana and with the sound off knew it was breed right when the song began?
my dad is off the machines as of today. i am so glad:) yeah jawad's flight got delayed and he had to spend the night at the airport but he is supposed to be coming back to seattle this morning.
well my flight leaves newark airport on dec 28th. what time are you guys coming in on dec 27th. we were planning on heading back to nj the night of the 27th but it would definitely be cool to see you both before i leave:) btw i love your new pictures and you look really good!
As clever as I aspire to be, it mortifies me that I failed to make that oh-so-obvious connection. Adding a twist of irony, the rendition of "Black" from the last DC show has been played on my car CD deck only about 57 times in the course of a month (personal reasons). I'd say I'm losing it if I were able to confirm that I ever possessed "it," never mind identifying "it".
Anyway, thanks to you and Neel for planning to attend. It was a good night all around, as the audience was large and lively and the rush of playing live was recaptured.
And the news just gets better: earlier in the week we scored a Sullivan Hall gig set for Feb. 6. Hope you guys can join us then. In the meanwhile, have a joyous holiday season.
Tony
