Citizen of the World

Last weekend, we were in New Hope, PA, and then later in Flemington, NJ. We saw LOTS of cool, old cars (and some motorcycles - for boomerz1, and I immediately thought of curtimack and dan4behr. Enjoy fellas!!

I don't know what all of these cars are, but we ran into the beginnings or the end of a Mustang/Ford car show, which seemed to range from very old cars to very new ones. WHY do people bring their new models to a car show, especially if you can find THAT car in a dealership? They buy the car last week and this week they're showing it off at a car show. Seems a little presumptuous or just unexciting. But I'm not that much of a car enthusiast, either.

Here's an opening car shot (with Matt) from a different photo album I'm posting today:




The other cars are posted here.

Yesterday was really fun. Four of us went into New York for the Big Gay Expo (the annual GLBT at the Javits Center). After one of us (not me) rode the bull at the rodeo stand (the bull was powered by big, booted lesbians), we went to Greenwich Village to walk around.


It was interesting yet sad that the Expo was half the size it usually is. Cost the same ($10 with "The Internets" coupon), but there were only 2 or 3 vodka booths, one champagne booth, two or three music / actor / theater booths, and about 30 gay wedding-related booths. Oh, and we went into a party bus limousine (that we all envisioned renting for a trip to Ptown...).

After hitting a local street fair in front of the historic Stonewall, we went further down Bleeker Street to visit Murray's Cheeses.


Good thing we did, too; we discovered that they will more than likely no longer be able to carry Roquefort Cheese (a delectable French blue cheese) due to taxes - 3 times higher for that cheese than ever before. So much for a Boston Tea Party, Murray's hosted a Roquefort Au Revoir Party.

For $5, we tasted the last of their Roquefort stock and compared it to two other likable blue cheeses. Had we gotten there earlier, we could have had wine, too, but we didn't need that after an afternoon of martinis at the Garage on 7th!

It's a sad state of affairs when politics kills luxury items like Roquefort cheese; just think how much more chefs will get to charge for their Roquefort-specific dishes! Yay. More Wisconsin cheddar, please...
