Coney Island Low June 30, 2006

[Mike] Coney Island has to be one of the most depressingly awesome places on Earth. It feels like you’ve gone back in time. We saw something pretty disturbing outside of one of the spooky amusement rides

Oh, and the aquarium there sucked.

Right now, we’re staying up all night so we can try to get tickets to see Late Night w/ Conan O’Brien. It’s a grueling process so wish us luck.

When in doubt; New York June 28, 2006

[Mike] Third day in New York and this is the worst hangover yet. Over the past couple days I’ve managed to consume some real Brooklyn pizza, make Michael Showalter hate me, and get lost on the Subway at 4 in the morning. If Michael Showalter held the secret of rock, I’m in a bit of trouble. On the upside, I do recommend Brothers Pizza as well as extreme late night drinking at The Loki Lounge- both of which reside in Brooklyn. The latter has cheap imports as well as a backroom of couches for making out with your Hoegaarden breath. Although if you’re objective is finding the secret of Rock, I wouldn’t recommend either.

Tonight is fancy restaurant night and we’re going to hit up Balthazar’s in SoHo.

I smell dead people June 26, 2006

[Mike] Since Werewolf has the week off I’ll obviously be posting more about New York than anything. After this break, we’re booked every week well into 2007.

Soooo.. I knew that when I first got to New York, my first course of action would be to immerse myself in the Subway system, hightail it to Wall St and get mercilessly pummeled by wind and rain. My friends, I succeeded and I have a mangled pink umbrella to prove it.

Meanwhile, deep within the soulless void of the financial district there is a graphic display of dissected human bodies and fetuses aptly named, “Bodies… The Exhibition”.


Besides the obvious grotesqueness of the presentation, there is an eerie dark side behind the scenes in that no one seems to really know where these bodies came from. All anyone really knows is that these cadavers came from China where there is little law and regulation and where apparently within the law a “piece of paper means nothing”. I only learned this after I had seen the entire exhibit and I really wish I would have known this beforehand so I could have been even more creeped out by the whole thing. In hindsight, the most disturbing part was the torso of a woman who was 8 months pregnant with her stomach sliced open revealing the baby inside of her. Since 2000-3000 Chinese prisoners are executed a year, a lot of the male cadavers could have definitely just simply been on death row.. but a pregnant woman? It also brings up the question, how did they execute the prisoners without it showing on its dissected, post mortem counterpart? Drain the blood out of its toes? These cadavers also died young, most in top physical condition. But hey, whatever. You know, I’ll probably forget about all of this tomorrow. In celebration of being alive I’m going to have myself a Dark Chocolate Decadence Chocolixir Beverage from the nearest Godiva Chocolatier.

[JB] Good day, it’s JB from Werewolf. It’s like early, and I’m tired. I work a lot. Mike left for New York on a pursuit for self discovery, and to learn the secrets of rock (hint: it’s in New York.) Apparently, the secret of rock has something to do with traveling alongside a friend and boning two chicks at once (and later, three). Godspeed to you Mike; let me smell your fingers when you come home.

Mike's furious keyboardin' fingers!
