Picture in Village Voice from March 18

I took this picture last October and the band used it for a piece in the Voice. My buddy Hans is the one on the right. We call him HC, or HVAC, or HSBC.

Song of the week: Chase the Devil

I've been running a lot. This is good for that. Max Romeo: Chase The Devil

Obama rides the subway

so does Mayor Bloomberg. That's one of the ways politicians stay connected with the voting public. Here he said he had just come from a campaign meeting at Dumont.

It's stressful running for president

you gotta let loose. leaving the bar with your beer, however, is not recommended. He crashed 10 minutes later.

Obama loves the environment!

It was on this hike in the Catskills last September (for Nat & Dave's wonderful wedding) that I really understood how fragile and beautiful our environment really is. I got up to the top of the mountain and was like, "hey, there's a shit ton of trees up here! no one needs to worry! alright!"
But Barack, was like, "hey, hey, now, listen, just because you SEE a lot of trees right now doesn't mean we don't have a problem..." He said a lot of other stuff too but I was winded and really really hungover, so I don't remember, but I think he knew what he was talking about.
(apologies to Jay and Bill)

Obama gets a little crazy sometimes...don't we all.

When Alex got married last year, the presidential race was so far off, we hardly talked about it at all, well, ok, Barack did bring it up a bit at Alex's stag party in the lower east side. We were like, dude, get another drink, relaxxxxx....

Obama sings the hits!

The secret service was all over us this night and confiscated most peoples cameras, but I'm sneaky. He's totally doing "American Pie" by Don McLean. It was sweet.
