Let's Go

Hot Child in the City

Two weeks ago, I took Audrey on a trip to my former home of NYC. Our visit coincided with a record breaking heat wave of sweltering temperatures and stifling air. The shot we took (left, Photo Credit: A.Valcourt) tried to capture that feeling of hot and sweat from the elevated 7 train platform. We still had a great time.
     I never could afford to attend any Broadway shows while attending NYU but I got my fill of them on this trip. Both sold out productions with standing ovation crowds at Matilda and Newsies, Audrey loved it and was excited. I got to see David Byrne's Here Lies Love at the Public which was really a great and unique production about a historical time span in the Philippines as told/sung musically from Imelda Marcos' point of view. It will roll out nationally and when it hits your town...don't hesitate - go see it!
     But for all the fun that we had as tourists (I do admit it :(  ) I don't think I could do the NYC grind today. The subways, the noise, the dirt, the smells - all familiar but I wouldn't CHOOSE to do it anymore. In LA, I have my car and my solace of the 20 minute drive to work. The heat can reach 105 degrees but I have my central air conditioning and the local mall 2 minutes from my house to escape cabin fever. Am I a Whimp? Have I lost my edge? or is it just that I am a Rapidly Aging Hipster...you decide.

    I'm originally from NYC and worked in the music business and experienced the height of "hipsterism". I now reside in LA where I continue to live a rapidly aging hipster life and love it.
