I’ve been safely ensconced in a little apartment in Brooklyn, holed up in the summer heat and writin writin writin a bunch of new tunes, and generally being happy to be back in NYC with mah dumplings and mah tacos and mah weird cheap beers. many Canadian friends will be visiting here over the next month, but for now I am fully enjoying the simultaneous social-interaction-overload and anonymity that defines this big-ass city.
