Last weekend I went to the Siren Music Festival at Coney Island with my buddy Dan from work. I’ve been wanting to go to Coney Island since before I even arrived in NYC so I was pretty excited to get out there and see what all the hype was about. Wow. Coney Island sure is a [...]

Looking back over pictures that I’ve taken while in NYC has made me wish that I would have told a million more stories on here. Well, its too late for that, but here are some more notable happenings that you may have missed: I learned that you can drop off laundry and pay someone else to [...]

BBH launched their new website this week. Frankly, its about time: It is a huge improvement over the last version of the site, is way easier to navigate, and gives a much more accurate representation of the quality of work that comes out of BBH.

I was told by a complete stranger that “I must not be from the city”. What the hell? I wonder what it was about me that gave it away. Perhaps I said “please”, or “thank you”. Or maybe I greeted someone on accident instead of ignoring them and shoving through. Whatever. I’m glad I don’t seem like [...]
