And I have my local middle eastern take-out place to thank for it. You see, I was strolling down 5th avenue in Park Slope, and I looked up and saw a full-color lit up picture of a huge hunk of lamb schwarma protruding from the storefront. No sign with the name of the business - just a big picture of what they were serving. (Only in New York). And I thought to myself, that's odd - I should take a picture of that on my phone and send it to my friend Eric. And then that thought turned into , 'I should totally take a picture of random things I see everyday and post it on a blog or something!' Ok, so my more realistic goal is to post a picture every week of randomness that I see around me, or you may just get stuck seeing pictures of my friends drinking (we do seem to have alot of those shots). More than likely, you'll probably end up seeing pictures of concerts I go to... But at any rate, I will be posting pictures and I will update you on what's going on in my life.
So, first things first: U2 News
There's so much happening in the world of U2. I have been anticipating the release of U23D for many many months now, and it's finally coming to a theatre near you this month! Check it out:
It open January 23rd and the reviews have been pretty good. Recorded during the South American leg of the 2006 tour, it's the first ever 3-D live action concert video. Bono is such a master entertainer, and I'm sure even non-u2 fans will enjoy this 3D experience. I already have plans to see the movie opening weekend with my friend, Joy. Frankly, she puts my U2 obsession to shame. This woman saw them during the War tour. She's seen them all around the world and even has Adam Clayton's autograph on a copy of the Odyssey (it just happened to be in her bag when she ran into him in the city one day.) So it's really only appropriate that we experience this together.
And finally, for my random New York picture of the day:
Ok, so no, this wasn't taken today. This is the NY Marathon in October - just a few blocks from my apartment in Brooklyn. These men were all ahead of Lance Armstrong!

I think the marathon's in November ... right?
You're right! This year's marathon was in November. Leave it to my friend C.go (the writer) to edit my blog!
Yo. I have a free pass for you to see U23D on Tuesday night at 68th Street. You'll probably have to get there wicked early....but it is a ticket. Remind me to give it to you tomorrow.
