My Homie Omie

My friend Omar has a band called Crash Boom Bang. I hadn't heard him sing since his high school days when he would sing "only you" but he would replace your name with you. When I heard he was coming to NYC I knew I had to see him sing. So Karley and I headed down to the lower east side to a teeny tiny little bar. He did an acoustic set and he was awesome! It was so fun to catch up with my homie Omie (which is what I used to call him cuz I'm coo like that) Anyway, I love his CD and the girl that he tours around with is Stacy Clark and she is amazing too. On a side note the guy who produced his CD is the singer from the Plain White Tees. Yeah and we bailed when they started making people buy drinks...5 bucks for seltzer? No gracias.





Take a listen to three of his songs

Forever in Love

Are you Ready?

Thank You

Stacy sounded so amazing acoustic so I had to adjust to hearing her with all the bells and whistles. Here is one of her songs.

Say What you Want

Thoughts on a kids party from E.

Man this party is so lame! Its just for babies.

No way I won't help, I'm too cool for school.

Hey, this clown from Jersey is actually kinda funny!

Hee hee hee... I love this party! I wonder what she'll do next?



*sorry for the terrible quality of pictures...again, my camera sucks. And the party really was fun and the kids loved it, and the cake was to die for!

Buddies

Even though L pretends not to love Xan man....he really does and they are buddies.

Street Art

Haha! Love NY. E was a great subject and these girls in Union Square were cute. And my camera pretty much sucks. Any good suggestions that aren't expensive monster cameras?

Bowling Partay

E was invited to a bowling party. She is um really good at bowling. Ahem...

I think its gonna make it.

Dang! A gutter ball.

UN again

I am running way behind on the blog...again so therefore the next few weeks will be updates from the past month or so.

The UN General Assembly happened AGAIN, we keep hoping that they'll cancel it. Sigh. This is a picture of me waiting to cross the street for 15 minutes!! Argh. Each corner looked like the one opposite me, crowds of people most with places to go, but some tourist with no place to go. (which is annoying because they think its just delightful that Obama will be driving by and can't wait to snap a photo of his car) You can read my rant here from last year.

Cupcakes

We tried these two cupcakes places....on the same day, but only b/c the cupcake stop truck happened to be a block away from Melissa's in SOHO :) My reviews:





Teensy tiny...tasted like store bought.

Same as above.

I think I will stick with good 'ol Buttercup, which I know a lot of people don't like b/c they are too dry, but I love them b/c they taste homemade...gasp! Oh and I also love love love Butterlane, but Buttercup is only 2 blocks away.
