New York Bucket List: Bowery Ballroom

Cursive is a band that I have loved intensely since I was sixteen. For years, the voicemail message on my phone was a recording from the song "The Radiator Hums". I threw out the phone to try to get through to you. That lyric still sums up the way I feel about voicemail. But I digress.



A few months ago I received an email from Bowery Ballroom, as I often do. This one was special though, because that's how I found out Cursive was playing two nights in New York. I asked Andrew if he wanted to go, and he didn't (womp womp). I decided though that I was just going to go by myself, for adventure, and because I didn't want to pass this up. Cursive to me is on Rilo Kiley's level, and I will never get to see them, so I didn't want to let this opportunity go.

These photos are a little bit repetitive, but I was psyched that they came out the way they did (kind of okay) being that I was under the stage, and wasn't using a flash or a zoom lens.

Two finals words: Tim Kasher.












And yeah so.. Tim Kasher.

New York Bucket List: Central Park

These photos need no real explanation, aside from the fact that I got lucky and got to head into the park on the most beautiful day this spring had yet to offer. There were so many people just laying around and relaxing, a bunch of performers, and beautiful flowers budding all over the place. I never wanted to leave, but around 6 I had to find the B train to head into the Bowery. I'm thinking one day this month I'm going to have to head back in with a friend and spend an entire day enjoying everything there is to see and learn and eat (i.e. empanadas and ice cream)

















Thanks to the Hop Stop app on my phone, I was able to actually find the Bowery and thanks to my own two feet, I found Home Sweet Home, which I've come to learn is some of my friends favorite bars. Happy accident.




Or don't, it's up to you.




After THREE $3 Sierra Nevadas, my phone was charged (thanks to a sweet bartender lady) and my legs were refreshed and I made it to Bowery Ballroom just in time to see one of my favorite bands ever.
