[ Grand Sichuan to the Rescue ]
How my lunch was saved by half a duck, green tea and rice
Steering clear of the typically spicy fare, I went with the duck smoked in black tea leaves, deep-fried and chopped into bite-sized pieces, bones and all.

[ A Plastic Conspiracy? ]
Is Big Plastic is out to get me? Will my story be told on 60 Minutes?
Cashiers who cannot understand the concept of not wanting to use plastic and finding bags in mailboxes. It makes a guy wonder.

[ 'Yahweh from Rahway' by Stuyvesant ]
Featured Song
A fine showcase of powerfully infectious hooks. They drive solid as it breaks down in the middle. Building back up, you're smacked into a brick wall.

[ To (Slowly) Protect and (Awkwardly) Serve ]
A misguided attempt to 'green' the Hoboken Police Department
At $10,000 a pop, these three-wheel, electric wastes of taxpayer money can't even maneuver thru the crowd at Hoboken's Art and Music Festival.

Thankful it didn't rain, but my camera was still wet from sweat
Opening the day was The Fave. This was the longest time I've ever spent here at the festival. Kudos to me.

[ Stuyvesant CD Release Party - Gallery ]
Celebrating the release of 'Linden Calling' (love that title by the way)
It had been a while since I last used my 'big boy' camera, so I decided to have a little fun creating some 'special effecty' shots.

[ 'Go' by clueLess ]
Featured Song
Rock, Middle-Eastern, Celtic and Latin influences with a keen sense of melody and lyrics. And I'm not just saying that because they're my friends either.

[ El Flamboyan ]
An unassuming place that feels like someone's home
I must have walked by this place hundreds of times. It never occurred to me to go inside. Not for any reason, that's just how it was. Until tonight.
