Brooklyn, Ga: the weekynd 9/28-9/30

this past weekynd (a term i have created for weekends i spend in brooklyn - or mostly in brooklyn), i spent a lot of time in bushie (bushwick). after work on friday i biked down (from greenpoint - north brooklyn) to a little warehouse party in bushie and then decided to crash at my brothers' place because it was only a few blocks away. the next morning my brothers (chris and andrew) and i all had brunch together at a place called Northern Kingdom. it was a really nice time & i got to catch up on both of their lives and hear about what they are up to.

when i was growing up, i'd always wanted to live in nyc. but never did i really imagine that i would live here with my 2 little brothers. throughout our brunch i kept thinking to myself "i am the luckiest sister in the world to have both of my brothers so close to me that we can all three enjoy this exciting season of our lives together in one of the greatest places in the world". i can't say i thought it out that clearly, but as i sat with my brothers drinking coffee and eating a delicious brunch, surrounded by tons of other young people and some awesome rustic decor that is so very "brooklyn", i certainly felt it. my life isn't perfect - there are things i would tweak ;) - but moments like these remind me that it's pretty stinkin' cool.

i spent the rest of the weekynd visiting an installation hosted by Performance Space 122 called Habit (full disclosure - it's in manhattan), which was pretty intriguing, but after reading on the website that it was meant to be "the real world meets no exit", (and honestly not reading much further after that) i was a bit disappointed to find that it was all pretty much scripted. it was evocative, nonetheless, and although not my favorite performance i've ever seen, definitely not the worst. the most interesting part was watching people run to see the action of the scenes (the stage was the shell of a house & the scenes could only be viewed through the windows). i mean, unless they're wearing workout clothes or trying to catch the g train, people don't run in new york.

post-performance, some friends & i retreated to one of my favorite bars in LES called Welcome to the Johnson's (highly recommend unless you consider yourself to be "classy") & then headed back to brooklyn of course!

below are some photos for your viewing pleasure! & stay tuned for next weekend (not weekynd) where i shall be traveling to the good ol' south - GA - to visit joseph!!!
