...am I a cool kid?

[jethrien]

I went to a storytelling cabaret thing featuring a bunch of people from The Moth at the KGB Bar with ivy03 this evening. If I had a mental image of what cool people do in New York, I think this was it. Incredibly funky, strange little bar on the second floor in the East Village, with a tiny little tap room, completely red paint, decorated in Marxist paraphrenalia. Incredibly hip, self-deprecating people being self-deprecating and witty, with a eccentric trivia contest and an accordian-dj. 16-year-old me would never have believed that I might actually end up in such a place without being ritually stoned (not the good kind) and evicted. The 16-year-old still in me is mighty impressed.

Tragically hip and ironic. I feel like I'm officially a New Yorker now.

In other news, the goat cheese ice cream is fabulous with walnuts and some honey drizzled over it.

The KGB is my favorite bar. We go there all the time.

You should go to one of the Fantastic Fiction readings there--third Wednesday of every month! I miss them a lot. I even read a short story there once, for a different reading series.

Why am I not surprised...

I know about them, but we usually have gaming on Wednesdays. We're temporarily on Thursdays this summer, but I still had something else to do this past Wednesday.

Also, I point this out every time ivy03 says it: You live in New Jersey, so you're not a New Yorker, even if you feel like one :P

Yeah, yeah, yeah. :)
