Not only would I love to be there, but I will gleefully run interference with your self-obsessed detractors. Anne, please let me know the next time you play in Park Slope.

Every time we play outdoors in Park Slope (and we're talking about with a permit, at an announced event), we attract a nice crowd that enjoys themselves but without fail one person rushes from their apartment and commands us to stop playing immediately because a. they are working on their thesis (doesn't that take like, months?) b. their baby is sleeping (good luck surviving in NYC, kid) c. we need to get out of *their* neighborhood because... they say so. No lie, this happens *every* time. Still a beautiful neighborhood with great architecture and many nice people, but the guaranteed presence of super-entitled self-righteous neurotic buzzkill types makes me glad I don't live there. Fun for a visit, but not relationship material. In addition to being a blogger who sometimes woops (sic) in your ear, I am also a musician who plays with a Brazilian drumming group.

I did get on with my life. I moved and haven't really looked back. I was interviewed for the article a few months ago, before Myanmar. The article was printed yesterday and I wanted to clarify some quotes. Nobody is obsessing here. And as 9:36 says, this is a housing blog (thank you, 9:36!). Frank, did you read the post?

Myanmar cyclone, iraq war, election...and this is what you obsess on?! I think you need to take a step back and refocus on what's important. self hate is unattactive, why don’t you just get on with your life.
