Day of Ken

On Ken's suggestion we (Ken, Jen and I) headed downtown to go see an art exhibition. After stopping for a cheeky beer (would've been more but it was already about 5pm) we headed over to the gallery. Which was shut on Monday. Taking this in our stride I'd had the happy news that Corty was back in town after finally leaving the Poconos. Luckily as he'd been in the Poconos he came back with an ice chest full of beer which we quickly demolished. After some food (FANTASTIC burgers from La Esquina, best in NY? Haven't had enough to say for sure but they were pretty damn good!) all trooped off to Brooklyn on the promise of some Burlesque action. Turned out to be more of a vaudeville show with contortionists, magicians and removers of clothing in the line up. The acts ranged from nightmare inducing [woman dressed a pinocchio strips to reveal boobs with pasties on them and a nine inch rubber penis] to impressive [guy steps into a de-strug tennis racket, puts his head into it and pulls it back over his folded body]. After that we went to Church (not THAT kind of church, no one wants blood dripping down the walls so I try to steer clear of actualy religious structures), listened to Gospel and danced to a live band. Went back to the Bowery, smoked a doob and unconciousness was easily reached.
