I told a friend the other day I tried rolling up to the box office at MSG for Charli XCX's sold out show and my friend responded "what are you on Seinfeld?". Tea. But going to the box office is something that this digital age does not always consider. I have had much luck at any other "sold out" show in NYC by going to the box office on the day of, purchasing a ticket at face value, and strutting on into the venue. Typically the venue holds a row or so for the occasion. Unfortunately, the box office in reference at the top of this rec, did not deliver on my hopes and dreams of being Brat.

I haven't been in NYC for that long but I've found that the well for film in NYC is pretty deep and you can really find anything you are looking for on a given night. Obscure, Foreign, Indie, Cult Classic, whatever.
Screen Slate is a good resource to find whats playing where all around the city.
I would also suggest following a lot of the theaters on ig and they will have posts about showings that might pique your interest.
Spectacle and Film Noir are pretty cool screening rooms in BK that are pretty low key and DIY if you are looking for an interesting night out.
Finally, getting a membership to metrograph, ifc or film forum is a good option if you go to one of them and like it. Reduced prices go along way if you are going to a theater pretty frequently.

Feel kinda dumb sometimes when I put my goals together - write a few hours a day, read more, don't drink 5 beers on a Wednesday night - so these pages really struck me when I visited the Woody Guthrie Center while doing a show in Tulsa.Β It's a beautiful list and seeing it in his own handwriting was both inspiring and a good reminder that it's mostly about just staying regular with the basic stuff and trying to put some good work days together. Maybe he should have put "send Mary and kids money" higher than "listen to radio a lot" but who am I to say?

1 time is not enough, 3 is too many cause I get too tired. But when I go around 2 times, I'm feeling real good and can get a couple more hours of writing done in the afternoon.

I was watching boat crash videos and came across this youtube channel. They've got some vids where the boats get into trouble but my favorites are where they just set up a camera by inlets and marinas around Florida and record boats going over the waves on their way to the ocean.Β Boat culture is very foreign to me so I find it interesting to see what type of people are on what type of boat. And all you can hear is the water and boat motors so it's fun to imagine the relationships of the boat passengers and what they're talking about.
