They are filming again

So this morning on the way to the subway I noticed that film crew entourage that has been appearing in my neighborhood more often than I would like. Not that I have anything against film production in Brooklyn but they tend to create traffic tie ups that then lead to a residual increase in car honking. Anyway I think they have been filming a show called Canterburry's Law and the pictured trailer is labeled "Chester" and "Producers". Hopefully I haven't just tipped of the paparozzi.

Ok so I'm back at Fat Black Pussycat

One of the greatest things about living in New York is the live music. So the house band that plays at Fat Black Pussycat can navigate through Jimi Hendrix just as well as they can perform a Celia Cruz or Aretha Franklin tune . These guys can even accentuate a Tom Jones tune to a reggae melody. So if you have never been to NYC on a Thursday you must come here. Just to think I've got be at work in a few hours. Damn, I've been informed that there is another spot to check out tonight.

Hacking Trixbox

I'm trying to setup an asterisk PBX server. If you don't know this already this is the future of telephony. Take some Linux, some open source software and a some voice protocols such as H.323 and SIP and you have a very flexible and powerful PBX. Wish me luck!

Special Guest at Comedy Village

So I decided to stop over to Comedy Village (formerly Boston Comedy Club) at 9 PM on Sunday night. Somewhere around 10:45 PM Dave Chappelle decides to show up and take over the stage. Apparently he was on his way to the airport heading to London, changed his mind, and decided to stop by to do stand up instead. He's a pretty funny dude and I even had the chance to throw some CNN topics in his direction as his performance was completely ad-lib. Although I felt a bit bad for the other comedians that were supposed to appear because 3 hours later Dave was still on stage in a comedic ramble that consisted of prank calling the White House on a patron's cell phone and snapping pictures of the audience using another patron's high end professional digital Canon camera.

Brooklyn Museum First Saturday

Brooklyn is really cool and first Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum prooves it. Where else can you go to a party, bring your entire family, and still be cool?

My reading material for tonight

After watching "The Kingdom" tonight I decided to stop over at Barnes and Nobles and pick up some reading material. I settled for "VoIP Hacks" and "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People". I hope one of these books will get me to stay away from my couch and stop my addiction to CNN.
