I am a volunteer photographer for New York Cares. Every couple months I am asked to come along and document one of their fantastic events.

I spent last Saturday at Harlem’s PS 375 with Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. He put on a concert for the school’s children who have had perfect attendance so far this year. It was tons of fun, and I even got to dance a jig to Puff the Magic Dragon!

Peter is an advocate for education programs, focusing on the importance of treating others with kindness. He is the founder and president of Operation Respect. Good times all around.

Love this crazy man.

Linkin Park, Dave Matthews Band, Alanis Morissette, Slash, The All-American Rejects, Hoobastank, Kenna, Enrique Iglesias and Lupe Fiasco team up with Music For Relief to aid earthquake victims.

I’ve been looking at credit unions but not sure I know of one where I fit membership requirements.

Where should I go?

Road Trip.

I didn’t get my White Peach Martini last night because Pazza Notte was too crowded. We headed to the bar at the Hilton New York, which come to find out has some amazing Sangria ($25/pitcher) and was a great place to catch up, laugh, and cry with a handful of my best friends.

I just wish I had been sober enough to really enjoy/remember my first trip to Burger Joint.

Above is the infamous BK. He’s moving to Maryland soon to start another chapter of life and I wish him nothing but the best.

Usain Bolt is coming to town!

probationaryperiod asked:

I saw the other day that topherchris liked something you posted. Have you met him in real life? He seems like a total fucking bore to me; am I right?

Look! I’m editing my questions.

I’ve only met topherchris once and it was before he had officially gotten the job at tumblr. He was in town interviewing and a few of us met up for drinks. He wasn’t a total bore, but he did bail on us when we decided to go to Wendy’s. Something about it ‘being a long day’ and ‘he was so nervous’ meeting David Karp. Blah blah…

He also stole a book from the bar and I have yet to see any fascinating quotes. So actually, now that I think about it, yes… he’s a total fucking bore.

There were also the two reunion concerts of ‘The Police’. Those both rank pretty high in the best concert ever category.

probationaryperiod asked: Best concert you have ever been to?

Best baseball game you have ever been to?

Best even that wasn't a baseball game or a concert that you've ever been to?

1. Victor Wooten at George’s in Fayetteville, AR. Love some awesome bass playing and ‘Overjoyed’ must be played at my wedding or whatever celebration I have next.

2. Best baseball game is tough for me to say. I went to a minor league game in AR this summer that I loved because I was with the parents, but I also saw Pujols hit a grand slam at Citi Field. First game at old Busch? I dunno. It’s a toss up.

3. Best anything? Hrm.

Crap, I’m a gemini… I can’t make decisions…
