New York
Headed out to New York tomorrow for the Greener Gadgets Conference, which I expect should be really enlightening. As usual, not staying nearly long enough to fall back in love — but I’ll definitely be around more than long enough to remember how freezing cold it gets.
It’s fortuitous timing, though, because that during my last visit in November I was profiled by On The Inside, which just went live this month. It’s probably way more detail than anyone really wants about me and my relationship with The City (still, thanks Thomas!), but the idea is to get a window into one’s relationship with New York through the recommendation of some off the beaten track spots. Some of mine that made it in are: Barcade, Otafuku, the MoMA Design Store, and May Wah.

I really enjoyed the interview. I think New York is the greatest city in the country, and what I wouldn’t give to live there. I’m just afraid that I don’t have the natural talent to make it and be successful there. I used to be content living in New Jersey and being able to go to the city any time I wanted, and it’s regretful that it’s more difficult now to do that, living in Rhode Island.
I’m DEFINITELY going to check out Barcade next time I’m there though.

Don’t worry, I won’t tell Veronica you are going to see an ex-lover.

How much traveling do you really do? How often to you get to stay home? Keep up the good work!
Too much! Trying to cut back though.
