Apparently Levi’s and Alamo Drafthouse are doing a screening series of Famous Movies in Famous Places and they’re playing There Will Be Blood in Bakersfield, CA. Even though I’m kind of sick of minimalist poster designs, I really like this one.

Ask Me A Question
Critical Mass was really fun tonight. The last time I did it was 3 years ago and I’m glad I decided to start it up again. Aside from a few mishaps (a guy trying to run over people corking, a guy barging through a bunch of bikers and almost hitting me and a guy throwing buckets of water out his window at bikers) it was a great success. There are always a few assholes out there (bikers and drivers alike) but it’s fun to roll through a neighborhood and see all the people waving and smiling. I can’t wait to do it again next month.
mynameisbrian asked: What book did you all pick for next month?
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. Claire is organizing the next one, so follow her for details.
Thanks to everyone who came to Book Club last night. It was super fun to hang out, drink a few pitchers and have some spirited discussion about Revolutionary Road. Let’s do it again next month.
I went to Cafe Mustache, the new coffee shop in Logan Square and really liked it. They have good coffee and they carry Bleeding Heart cupcakes and Nice Cream. My only complaints are that there really isn’t enough seating and the music was barely audible. There is nothing more awkward than a quiet coffee shop.
Hey everyone, don’t forget that bookclub is tomorrow night. It’s at 8pm at Handlebar, we’ll probably meet out on the patio. If you’re planning on coming be sure to bring ideas for the next book.
See you there!

So it’s your first trip to the Big Apple, but you’re a little antsy because of the reputation Gothamites have for being, well, unforgiving, and would like to learn how to blend in. Have no fear. Peruse these, some of the most common mistakes tourists make in New York City, and you’ll never again stick out like a hot buttered corn cob in the middle of an Iowa December. (By the way, never say that in New York.)
Mine would be: act nonplussed when you see a big rat in the subway. In my experience there is nothing that New Yorkers love more than claiming they have the biggest rats in the country.
“You think that rat is big? Most of them are at least twice that size”.
