KID ROBOT had a toy signing at thier SoHo store. I keep asking everyone to confirm how BADASS these are. So let me set a few things straight…

  • Yes, I went the Kid Robot at 6pm to buy a set of “dolls”
  • No, I will not tell you how much I spent on them (it’s easy enough to figure out)
  • Yes, I went back at 6:30 to GET ON LINE to get all four signed
  • No, I will not sell them on e-bay (even though I could make a fortune)

So this toy signing was like nothing I’ve ever been to before. All of humanity came together for free Red Stripe, kickass music and of course, the chance to discuss the meaning of life.

One discussion that my line-mates and I had was regarding which cultural category we now belonged to. I felt that waiting on line to get some dolls signed might make me a bit of a dork. Another person in line said that she liked to think that we were hipsters. Yet another person liked the word “geek” because he also was a member of the masses that waited on line to see Star Wars. Whatever the label, we were all sweating our asses off to get these toys signed. I can’t explain what made me wait online to do this, but I (only partially joking) told everyone that this was our Woodstock. Are we all dorks because that made everyone laugh?

If anyone has any pictures of the signing or knows of all the film cameras that were there, let me know.

I saw David Byrne on the subway on Friday!

I sat down and right away I recognized him. I was stunned by how attractive he was. I wanted to say hi or just listen to his conversation, just to stay around him for a while. It’s such a strange thing, but I was drawn to him. I really did want to ride on just to listen to him talk. Of course I couldn’t hear anything he was saying even though he was sitting right across from me. I made sure not to bother him or make a big deal because I can only imagine how hard it must be for him to have some time to just ride the subway and not get mobbed. Well I would say that’s the coolest sighting I’ve had in NY so far. What a weekend!

Man, this CD is great. I was hoping that it would be as good as the first one (So… how’s your girl?). These guys are incredible. These tracks are hilarious and amazinly good music. Dan the Automator and Prince Paul have been around for ages and I hope to god they don’t go anywhere before I die. Also check out “Lovage: Music to make love to your old lady by”.
