Farting Xylophones

Woke up really late (1:30 pm) again. the sky was gloomy again and so decided to stay at home for a bit...so got out some more donuts from the fridge and put on a DVD. finished the movie by 4 in the afternoon by which time it was sunny outside...so decided to head out to explore prospect park. kept going down paths in the park and ended up completely lost....was on one path that was made of gravel so you heard your feet crunching against it.....for a long time i saw no one else on the path and was beginning to freak out...i also kept hearing gravel crunching behind me, but it usually turned out to be an animal and not a armed killer...phew!!

finally got out of the maze of nature at 5:30 when karl called and said we were going to a place called brick lane for dinner. brick lane is an Indian restaurant where karl worked when he first arrived in NY. so lots of fond memories.....he also knew everyone there. so im sure we got the good stuff....adele was tripping on the food especially the mango lassi (these Americans i tell you)

after the meal....karl and me decided to go for some arty musical recital featuring some chick playing an instrument that worked on sound waves. adele needed to go to some meditation center.

karl and me arrived to a place called 'the stone'...it was packed. there was the lady playing the soundwave thing accompanied by a pianist, a saxophone player and a xylophone player.

it looked promising...then they started......and i decided the best way to preserve my sanity was to sleep :)....like i said i never get these arty things...it sounded like random noise or like an animal squealing.

after a good hour they took a break and some ventriloquist chick came up to do a short routine...she was funny and kept making fun of the xylophone guy.

then came the second set for the band....i thought "ohhh nooo".....before they began the xylophone guy suddenly looked into the crowd and asked if anyone wanted to play...he picked a short guy from the fist row......the song began and the "guest" xylophone player was tripping out....just whacking random notes...so pretty much matched the song, if that's what you wanna call it...then he got really experimental....he put the xylophone sticks down and closed his palms together near the mike and then made farting noises....it was brilliant...i loved it....and he was focusing too...not just making noises at random...it had dynamics and everything...he sat down after a while and i was like "ohhh whyyyy???"....then the real xylophone guy came back and i dozed again.

after it was done karl took me to a place called 'chocolate by the bald man'....really famous...it got tubes and all running all over to look like willy wonkas factory.....we pigged on chocolate cake and stuff and then decided we had too much of a sugar rush and so decided to head home.

i woke up today to see what will happen next...you really cant tell....this is NY!!!
