Brian Wilson and the weekend so far
Thursday evening we headed out to Coney Island for the free Brian Wilson concert. It was really amazing for me to get to see him play live. A few weeks ago at the gym I watched his tribute concert from 2004 (I think) here in new york, right before he released Smile. I know more about his genius because of Josh. While I watched the tribute concert I had to really hold myself back from crying on the stationary bike (that would have been a sight.) And during moments at the Coney Island concert.
We didn't bring the camera, but thanks to the power of the internet, I found some pictures from the night.

Yesterday morning I woke up super early before the heat set in, to finish baking birthday dessert which I will post about later on in the week. Later on in the afternoon we went to union square for a walk around the green market before seeing The Dark Knight. I'm really going to miss the farmers market when we leave, I've never experienced anything quite like it before.
Our dark knight showing was at 3:46. We wanted to get into the imax theater, but it was sold out until tuesday at 10am. When we got there, there was already a line of people sitting waiting for the doors to open for seating. I've never been into the batman series, and never really watched the movies as a kid. But I will say while I'm not a super hero/action fan person, I liked the complexity of the story and the characters. I was genuinely surprised by a lot of the choices that were made, which for me, if it had been another way could have been more predictable, but wasn't.
We had Mexican for dinner, walked around, got ice cream, came home, watched half of melinda and melinda. And that was the birthday weekend :)
Also, I found this blog today: crazy like whoa. Its written by a guy named Paul stepped out of his life and into a life on the road as he documents his findings and new perspective across the country. A pretty interesting read, and now I even more want to go on a road trip.

Lorrie, thanks for the link! I can't recommend the road highly enough. It opens up new perspectives and allows new ways of thinking. Also food! Lot's of new places to eat...
Your own mini-journey down to VA should be a real eye opener itself. I hope you can get out to the mountains soon, if not this trip - they're magical.
