Thanks to Jamie for this last one.
I was back in New York this past weekend. A very special few days, and one incredible night on Saturday.

One great week back home in Maine with the family and then on down to NYC for NYE with friends.
Over and Over VIII

Cad and I spent last week in New York. Unfortunately it wasn’t vacation and there was mandatory face-to-computer time. Luckily we stumbled upon Building on Bond early in our visit. A few blocks from our old place on Atlantic, and dangerously close to The Brooklyn Inn. When Monday rolled around I walked in for the first time, linked up to their WiFi, and ordered a Stella (it was afternoon – please). As I walked back to my table, M83 began piping out of their speakers. I’m easy, that’s all it took to convince me to relocate MMW‘s office for the week. Caddie was an equally easy sell.
So consider this our Building on Bond edition. Following are a few songs that we heard in B’klyn during our five days camped out on the corner of Bond and Pacific. Some new, some not…
M83, “Skin of the Night”

Last Friday morning we met a few friends at Brooklyn City Hall at 8:30AM. After a bit of paperwork and a short (and unexpected) ceremony, we became legally married…only six months after the ceremony!
And yes, the flowers were rented (thanks Mo!).
Old Haunts (and one new one)

Caddie and I are spending the week in New York, almost entirely in our old Brooklyn neighborhood. In addition to hitting some of our old haunts, we fell in love with a new one; Building on Bond.
Shots of a few notable spots are missing (Joya, the Community Book Store, Cody’s, DUMBO).
First Tuesday since.

Thinking of everyone today, and having Bud pounders while we do.
