Sitting on the floor of my new, empty Brooklyn apartment, waiting for FedEx and UPS. Dear lord, please let no one Unhappy Hipster me.

Late night pool at Space Billiards in Korea Town, New York
Thought #1: It’s midnight? I’ll just assemble this bike real quick.

Thought #2: Damnit.
But I now have an exercise bike in Portland, Oregon and San Jose, California and Brooklyn, New York.
Hannah judges Urbana Diva Slam 2013 in Lower East Side, NY

Saw some amazing spoken word poetry at Urbana Diva Slam, where ladies battled to see who’d represent at the 2013 Women of the World Poetry Slam in March.
I was introduced to poets I should have been following all along: Catalina Ferro, who’s quickly becoming one of my favorites and Thuli Zuma, who took the win Tuesday night. The appearance by Taylor Mali was a wonderful surprise, as well.
Need to do this again. And again. And again.
(Thanks for coming, Daisy & Hannah!)

Sara drove down to New York!
My childhood friend, 18 years and counting. Since the days of, “Wanna play?” Before ubiquitous phones, when she announced her arrival by throwing pebbles at my bedroom window. When she’d come over in the morning and torture me awake so we could carpool to class.
Elementary school recess. Punch buggy bruises. 7-11 candy. Super Nintendo babysat. Four square, tag and tanbark.
18 years and it still feels like we end our playtime too soon.
