Iāve been getting back into ājammingā since Iāve been renting this studio where you can make real noise and no one bugs you.Ā Jamming, like how I did when I was 13, no computer, no recording, no anything but a couple weirdos in a room, with the sole purpose of catching a vibe.Ā I donāt want to sound like a hippie, but itās so special, even with people that donāt really play an instrument. If you sit in the room long enough with each other and get through the awkwardness of sort of sounding like shit for a little bit, I swear to God without fail, there comes a point where everyone seems to get lost at the same time.Ā You look around the room, forget about what youāre doing, and everyoneās just nodding their heads, or smiling at each other, or laughing, or jumping around.Ā Feels nice to counteract this sort of solitude that I typically write and record music in and make it more of a social thing.Ā Sounds kind of old fashioned I guess, but whatever.

If youāre from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Donāt! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, itās worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because itās cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. Itās not really anything special visually but itās a beautiful institution and itās so fun to be there ā¤ļø
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loewās Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! Itās pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but itās a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

When I was a teenager I had awful acne.Ā I used to daydream that one day, somehow, having acne would be the height of fashion, and then it would be my time to shine.Ā I donāt think that has really happened yet, but I still think itās possible.Ā The twisted thing though is Iāve always thought acne is beautiful on other people, tough, real, beautiful, vulnerable, sexy, emotional.Ā People put stickers on them now, I say free the pimple.

I love people.Ā I really just like two things, music and people.Ā I donāt have any hobbies really.Ā People make me feel like Iām here, on earth.Ā Even if Iām holed up in my apartment or the studio, just knowing that theyāre near is comforting to me for some reason.Ā Nice to just sit and watch them. Fascinating, godly, humbling.Ā Iāve usually got at least one nice thing to say about anyone.
