 Guggenheim Atrium. Spent the Sunday relaxed at the Guggenheim and Metropolitan museums. I love NY.  Guggenheim Lobby Interior.  Sunset in Central Park. We're back!
Pete called 15 minutes before we were supposed to leave, claiming stomach sickness -- so Chris and I had to head out without him. We drove hundreds of miles around the Catskills and the Hudson Valley staking out small mountain towns. We ended the day with a 3 hour sunset hike up the cliffs of the Minnewaska State Park Preserve. Great time. The best part of living in NYC truly can be when you get out.
 It moved exactly 2 inches.  Chris, cliffside.  Pre-yodel.  Lake Wawarsing.  Land 'o Baffling Signs.  Tree envy.  Hunterman lives.  Mushies are blooming! Gone
So, I rented a car. Leaving in 30 minutes. Pete and Chris are coming with me. Catskills? Lake Placid? Vermont?
Just anywhere North. We'll find out when we get there. Excited about...
Zipcar. Still have yet to see one in New York. Curious if I should sign up for a Zipcard.

Pete: Ever been to Lenny's Deli?
Zach: Nope, good? Pete: Not good. Excellent. Zach: Where? Pete: There's one at John Street. Pete: They might deliver to you Zach: But I don't know what to get. Pete: The Roast Beef. Zach: No, the homecooked turkey with cranberry sauce ... I found their menu online. Pete: Mmm, Lenny's. Sooo Good. Neat. Thanks MenuPages.com! 4352 Manhattan menus and counting. New Jakeblog

Morning Afters
 The fun thing about NY night spots is that there are dozens of photo services floating around, photographing you and your friends. After they photograph you, they slip you a card with a URL where you can sign-on to see the photos the next day. I have started to accumulate a folder of these pictures, because they are great momentos and usually serve as sources of embarassment (in more cases than not, we have had more drinks than we should). So, this pic was from Friday night, at a place on Broadway called Strata. Fom left to right, Me, James, Josh, and Chad. All looking looking obnoxiously like those "New York dudes". Fresh Faces in Fashion
I had a great time at Gen Art's Fresh Faces in Fashion show and afterparty. Not too much of a celebrity showing, but we did see SuChin Pak, Alan Cumming, and Rick Moranis (who was being escorted by two very escort-like girls).
 Our place is slowing filling up. Charged
 Charged, another shirt 'o mine, is up for sale at Busted Tees. Appealing to hipsters and techsters, alike. And as Nick suggested, protein-packers could cut off the sleeves and make a pretty inspiring work-out shirt. Interchangeable double threat!

I am late in posting this, but in case you missed it the first time: Zell Miller's RNC speech, and then the follow-up interview where he challeneges Chris Matthews to a duel.
The Digital Life Shirt
 My most recent artistic phase revolved around the concept of Digital Life ... and it just seemed natural to translate that imagery to a t-shirt, since that is what my friends and I do for a living. This kind of shirt is a first on Busted Tees, which until now has only sold funny shirts. We are beginning to experiment and stray from our norm with this one. We printed a limited run of 72, and I humbly hope that my friends will swoop them up first -- this may be the only quantity we print depending on how well they sell. If you are interested, you may purchase the life shirt online. Some more information: They cost $15.99 + S/H and are printed on Gildan 100% cotton shirts and will shrink. I wear a small. Let me know what you think ... Windows Media Player 10
Windows Media Player 10 is a great upgrade ... still can't sync with iPods, and now I am sure it never will. Feels like Microsoft is ready to take Apple head-on.

Into the woods ...
 I attended an elven wedding yesterday, in the middle of the woods, in Rhode Island. 50-60 full costumed friends were in attendance to witness Rjyan and Roby's ceremony. It was a most memorable of unions. The ceremony itself was magical. First, the bride and groom walked to the center of the gathering from opposite ends of the woods, each completely shrouded and unable to see each other. They were guided by a sibling. Here, friends read poems to them, before they were escorted away, out of the woods. During this time, while we were all waiting for them to return – 3 people on stilts emerged down a path and made all of us circle together and hold hands. We sang and danced, in honor of Ryan and Roby. Finally, after about 15 minutes, Rjyan and Roby returned from their journey, dressed in the most handsome of outfits – Ryan in a cream suit, and Roby in a wispy dress. They moved inside our circle and kneeled down together. A friend approached them, and braided a large strand of their hair together and attached balloons. Then, she cut the strands, and we all walked out to a clearing in the woods where Rjyan and Roby released the balloons carrying their lock of hair.  Shooting catalog shots for Busted Tees today!  Chris arrived in town on Tuesday .. met up to help him look for apartments last night. No luck. |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
