Zydeco

The weather Friday wasn’t great for anything outdoors so I stayed in and got most of my wall art done in our neighbor’s apartment. I’m going to make you wait to see the finished product in a day or two. Here’s a pic of my sidekick who was lying on her back in front of me while I was on the floor making a rough draft.

The streets surrounding our apartment were packed with semis and trucks for the 30 Rock filming. It was oddly all filmed inside of a party rental warehouse just a few buildings down from us so I have no idea what it looked like in there. After repeatedly strolling past the film site while taking Pup out, I caught a glimpse of Tina Fey in a blue hoodie sweatshirt. What gave her away was the guy in her face carefully adjusting her hood and hair. I was just across the street and the only person around that wasn’t part of the crew so I didn’t want to be annoying and whip my phone out to take a picture. Here’s a pic from farther away though. As if that wasn’t enough celebrity gawking for one day, while leaving work late Friday night I passed Sex and the City’s Mr. Big jogging down the street. He had a friend with him and ran right up into a brownstone on restaurant row next to Joe Allen. The key to spotting celebrities is that you can’t go looking for them, you just have to let them come to you. :)

I worked my first brunch in a few months today. They shift was short and sweet (12-5) and most importantly, fun! Around 4, a Creole style Zydeco band started playing to provide music for the night (pic). I love the wash board and spoons, ha. It actually sounded really good and fit our Mardi Gras theme... which is quickly approaching. Note to self: request that day off.

Taking it back to the subject of my wall art, here’s a video that a friend Jenny Li sent me when she heard about my project. It’s so appropriate and hilarious I think…
