I spent my Thanks­giv­ing hol­i­day in New York City stay­ing with the excel­lent Mr. Tim.
He lives in a blis­ter­ingly styl­ish stu­dio in Brook­lyn, and I spent much of my time there ogling his furniture. 

None of the win­dows in San Fran­cisco have panes like this, which some­thing I didn’t even notice until I was look­ing out over Brooklyn.

I also really liked how this rug makes it look like my legs are being sucked into a cow shaped vortex.

We went to the Tim Bur­ton exhibit at the MOMA.

We were accom­pa­nied by Amelia & Jon, which was super awe­some.
The guards at MOMA were being super douchebags about let­ting us take pic­tures, so I only man­aged a few quick blurry snaps!

The sec­tion of the museum with pink walls was my favorite.

I was totally enam­ored by the work of Matthias Megy­eri, par­tic­u­larly his Sweet Dreams Secu­rity series.

This gar­land is actu­ally barbed wire.

I was also really into this red cross med­i­cine cab­i­net, and these giant pill lights.

The bauhaus exhibit was really great, too, but the guards were even more strict about pho­tog­ra­phy. At least I got a pic­ture in front of the sign.

We ate epic Chi­nese food and drank liq­uid cocaine.

We met up with Zoog, Xtian, and Jesse, and had din­ner at a Chi­nese restau­rant in the Bow­ery with amaz­ingly tacky LED light­ing.
They had a ridicu­lous drink menu that had lots of bev­er­ages with offen­sive names.
We got the liq­uid cocaine (151, cin­na­mon schnapps, and Jäger– oh my!).

We met up with Gala, Mike, Molly, and Lola at the Dou­ble Down Saloon for bacon martinis.

I had so much fun, I for­got to take any pic­tures. Gala took the cute shots above and below.

Panna II is my new favorite fire hazard.

On Gala’s rec­om­men­da­tion, we went to this restau­rant with totally out of con­trol Christ­mas and chili pep­per lights.
The menu actu­ally says “Where Christ­mas lights meet chili pep­per lights.”

There’s another restau­rant next door with exactly the same shtick, and they yell at you from the door­way try­ing to con­vince you why you should eat there.

Nikki Cook joined us, and we talked comics and ate spicy things.

Then we went to Brook­lyn and drank in a bar with rad wallpaper.

It was great to be back east even if it was only for a cou­ple days.
I really miss my friends back there, so here’s hop­ing I’ll be able to spend more time in New York soon!

Tim accom­pa­nied me back west, and we have a ton of adven­tures left to go on that I’m excited to share with you.
Next stop: Vegas!
