it's been a busy weekend. spent a delicious, rainy friday night tucked away with a group of friends in an garlicky west village italian cafe... after dinner, katie and I wandered downtown, to this place: http://cocoabarnyc.com/index2.html. Could there be a better concept than comfortable chairs, chocolate, and alcohol? four glasses of Riesling, three bon bons, and one peanut butter moo later, katie and I were in pretty fabulous moods.
I went to an african music festival and saw the Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars (http://www.sierraleonesrefugeeallstars.com/) play in Prospect Park yesterday. It's touching to hear these guys and think about how they managed to survive the very worst that the world has to offer. People constantly amaze me with with their capacity to pull through things that seem absolutely impossible. Brooklyn is such a funky place for a concert like this - everybody's moving and grooving and swaying, and people look ridiculous and nobody cares one bit. I was grooving with the boys from Sierra Leone, and it felt good.
