Arts and Artists at St. Paul’s presents “Holiday Songbook”

One of the most amazing things I’ve found about New York is the overabundance of free things to do – especially during the Holiday Season. Everyone with talent, or at least a song to sing and share, do so often for the love of it and often for free. This was the case this Sunday afternoon, where the Arts and […]

FIRST SNOW!!!!

Here is footage of Pete & I in the midst of our first snowfall as residents of the NY area. It isn’t much, I know, but it felt magical to the two of us.

Climate Change Exhibit at the American Museum of Nat’l History

This exhibition, “Climate Change: The Threat to Life and A New Energy Future” closes August 16, 2009 and is probably one of the most well-organized, succinct, and understandable breakdown of most of the issues surrounding the science and moralities of the climate change discussion.

Anti Prop (H)8 Rally November 15, 2008

The City Hall area was filled for a little more than 2 hours as thousands of people congregated to speak up against Proposition 8 and all of its cousins. It started around 1:30 and ended around 3:15, was very peaceful but energetic, and there were a lot of powerful speakers there. The rally was one of several going on around […]

2008 Election Day in New York!

It was wild. Exciting, exhausting and stunning. I walked over to Times Square from work, met with Pete, and then hung out for a bit to take pictures and watch the political circus. The JumboTron MTV screen started playing The Daily Show/Colbert Report Indecision 2008 special election coverage, but we quickly lost interest as there was no sound – it’s […]
