Lou Reed doing something Lou Reed would do… Playing ‘Perfect Day’ in Prague to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution.

He is also reuniting with members of The Velvet Underground (sans Cale).

Sold out.

My ears are still ringing from The Dead Weather’s show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg last night.  They kicked ass and I got Jack White’s towel.

Police say guilt was written all over their faces.Police received a call Friday night that two men with hooded sweatshirts and painted faces had tried to break into a man’s home in Carroll, Iowa.

When police stopped a vehicle matching the caller’s description blocks away, they were stunned by the men’s disguises.

There were no ski masks or stockings pulled over their heads; instead, Matthew Allan McNelly, 23, and Joey Lee Miller, 20, streaked their faces with permanent black marker.

Yeah, maybe they could have spent another couple minutes on their disguise.  It must have been the meth… Via CNN.

Run Run Run Run Away

Three men died during the Detroit Marathon on Sunday. What were they running from?  It should also be noted they were running a half marathon.

Meanwhile in Los Angeles, this guy was already dead.

Like an egg yolk.  One, LAG, can’t seem to catch a break.  The latest bit of news…

LAG lost his wallet inside zi club, 1Oak, then was mugged outside for the last $60 he had in his pocket.  Ironically, they didn’t take his new Blackberry instead they robbed him of the last bit of pride he possessed.

That raises the tally to:

  • 4 misplaced/lost passports in 8 months.
  • 1 lost wallet
  • 1 lost state ID
  • 1 lost GO-KART LICENSE

What transgressions has this man committed to warrant such terrible misfortune?  Oh that’s right…

I think they found missing Yale student, Annie Le… In a wall!!! Via CNN.

Your Dress is Frey’d

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Yesterday I went to see Buster Balloon at the Half Gallery.  The display was mildly entertaining from the perspective of a 23-year-old but wildly fascinating to the three year old in a stroller next to me.

Among the creations was a miniature Elvis,  ice-cream cone, water faucet, gorilla, and a monkey smoking a cigarette (my favorite).  Now I know why Jeff Koons proclaimed Buster, “The top balloon twister in the world.”

Yeah, Jeff Koons would say that wouldn’t he.

James Frey, half-author and a third of the partnership that comprises the gallery, was moping around outside.

Prior to attending the little exhibition, I was reading on the steps at Houston and Forsyth Street.  A couple sat next to me and to the best of my knowledge they were speaking in Dutch.

Sometimes I would peek up from my book to watch them smoke cigarettes, laugh, and embrace each other.  It appeared that nothing could corrupt their moment of bliss.

Peace never lasts.

I noticed a black Lincoln Navigator (with ‘for sale’ signs) slowly stalking down the street like it was hunting  for meat.  It came to a halt in front of the couple and the tinted windows rolled down to revel three degenerates.

A middle aged man with a thick beard, sitting in the back seat, began to accost the girl.

Hey, baby.  Spread your legs a little more.

The girl looked confused.

Yeah, open them up a little more.

She squeezed her legs together out of fear.  The face of her boyfriend was filled with hate.

You better be careful.  Something might sneak up that skirt. Something big.

The pervert started to cackle and the car sped off.

I was tempted to say something comforting or crack a joke but I just sat there and wondered what they were saying in Dutch.

They seemed to take it lightly because a few minutes later they were back in their own world.

Speed Racer Gunden

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Gunden is now a licensed go-kart driver.

His heroics on the track at the  Xtreme Indoor Carting compound in Ft. Lauderdale saw him place fifth on the all time leader board, a half a second shy of the all time record held by, “Some redneck from Tallahassee.”

He celebrated by visiting the on premises bar aptly called The Finish Line.

Yeah, you know I just needed to have a couple beers to celebrate the victory.  There are few times in the life of a man where he feels truly accomplished.

After running a sizable bar tab of $23.95 which, in Florida, is equivalent to a blood alcohol concentration of 0.38%,  he drove himself home in an automobile.

Editor’s Note: Gunden doesn’t posses a valid drivers license.
