Sam Lipsyte’s The Ask is the kind of book that is easy to love and easier to hate. Overstylized to the point of frustration, it takes awhile to see its value. Ultimately, it is the Generation-X novel, hitting on the insecurities of today’s thirty-somethings, a generation that is notoriously overeducated and underproductive. But why, for the love of salsa, would I even bring it up on NachosNY?
On a muggy Saturday night, I headed to Williamsburg for a birthday party with time to kill so with Nozomi, I went to Taco Chulo on Grand Street. When we got there, she said we couldn’t eat nachos because we didn’t have cameras with us. Fortunately, I didn’t let that stop me. We took out our phones and ate nachos.
Last night, we rode the East River in style atop the Jewel. To start, we want to thank our hosts Rocks Off for having us. Next our awesome sponsors: The Skint and Scoutmob for letting the world know. We can’t forget our bands: North Highlands, The Beets and Dry Feet. We would be stupid to forget our guac-artists: Marcia, Peter, and filling in for Chris, the NachosNY All Stars. And lastly, EVERYONE WHO CAME.
The weather looks a little gloomy out there folks. But don’t be discouraged. The Guac Rock boat Cruise will go on RAIN or SHINE.
Did you forget? Monday is the day of all days: the Guac Rock Boat Cruise! While you’ll be scarfing down guacamole, North Highlands will be entertaining the masses. One of L Magazine’s 8 NYC Bands to Hear in 2010, North Highlands were eager answer a few questions and share their excitement to be part of this epic event.
