Last night, my friend from Atlanta, John B., blew me off for dinner. Ostensibly, he had to get back to Atlanta early for work, but I know it was due to his wimpy Southern guy fear of the Big Snow which arrived in the City today. Well, in his honor, Pedja, John C. (fellow ex-Atlantans) and I went to Maroon's, a Southern soul-food restaurant right here in the middle of Chelsea. The restaurant came complete with a sassy southern waitress and the Obama/Hillary debate on the adjacent bar's screen. We ended up discussing politics, dating, and Kosovo independence (Pedja is Serbian...boy, he had an opinion on that) over some good gumbo and really good collard greens. And grits.
Admittedly, it made me miss the South.
But, this snow is spectacular. Big, 1 inch flakes. Nice. The view out my window at 7 am this morning:
And, on the way to work:
For your Flippant Fridays, I love this parody of the iPod nano commercial:
On tap this weekend, sitting at my employer's table at the New York HRC dinner, a performance of Macbeth at BAM, and dinner tonight at Fatty Crab....if I am not snowed in!
AND the S&TC Trailer.
