Okay, enough of the constant emails and phone calls about the updates! So here it is:
- I now play in a softball league with the sister of a famous Yankee who’s still on the team and quite a predominant figure in NYC.
- She date’s DJ Premier, whom PK and I actually had the honor of having dinner with two weeks ago after a game. Honestly, Premo, in my opinion, is one of the greatest producers the ever hit the hip-hop scene. With every Gang Starr album under his belt, on top of Nas’s Illmatic and Biggie’s Ready To Die as well, he’s basically what Rudy Van Gelder was to jazz, as he is to hip-hop. And he’s so cool and laid back it’s not even funny. We basically sat around and just talked about sports the whole time.
- Also, the Lizards, which is our NYC team, is now 3-0, which in the 2 years and 4 season I’ve played with them has never been accomplished.
- Work is going great. The change of commute from White Plains to Rye has helped tremendously, and I now have a great Director who I report to who’s made my job a lot more exciting and challenging.
- PK, Harnett, Juice and Pipes are pretty much settled into their 4 man penthouse on then Upper East Side. This place is sick. Not only is their living room the size of my place, but they have three terraces, and two are bigger than my apartment. Bobby C. and I are officially jealous, since we pay the same rent and have apartments about an 1/8th of the size.
- Next week (Friday, May 13th) I officially turn 28. Honestly, at this point, it’s not even an issue. I’ve overcome the whole “it’s all downhill from here” thing about 2 years ago. Early shout outs to Stevie Wonder, Bee Arthur, Harvey Kietel and Samantha Morton who are blessed enough to share the same birthday as me.
- We officially booked our tickets for California. For those who don’t know, Paul, Buchalter and myself are going on a 12 day baseball extravaganza from San Fran to San Diego at the end of next month. We plan on hitting up every baseball stadium that Cali has to offer, as well as making stops to various poker clubs and casinos, Tijuana, Melanie Grodanz, and what ever else floats our boat. We debated about a cruise or vacation in the Caribbean, but driving from San Fran to San Diego with good tunes, great company and a ton of baseball was too good to pass up.
- The Life Aquatic comes out next week, and it’s instantly been named to the Criterion Collection. A must see…
Okay, can you guys leave me alone now?
