Travis the Menace →
He was the most famous ape in America. But to really understand a chimp, you have to know his mother.
This is the most bizzre, horrific, disturbing thing I have read in a long time.

Good lord, trust me. I do. The end of August is always filled with thoughts of Katrina.
We dodged a bullet, which is another way of saying we got lucky. It wasn’t the first time I saw those flood maps of NYC. Working in sustainability, I see them all the time, and...

On Bill Cunningham, New York, and Being Good
Last month (bad blogger!) I popped over to the Film Forum in the midst of the three-week limited run opening of Bill Cunningham New York. I had been dying to see the documentary for months, and I snagged a ticket for the one o’clock, minutes before showtime. The theater was packed, but I squeezed into an empty center seat in my favorite row (row 8), between an elderly couple dressed in...

Stephen Colbert Sings “Friday” on LNWJF with The Roots
I made an appearance in this as The Beekeeper. This was so fun to watch and be involved in. I hope Rebecca Black saw this and said “That beekeeper was great.”

Me: You guys, I'm totally obsessed. I've talked about it all day! What else have I ever talked about for an entire day straight?
Tetz: Food.

Only in NY part I
tschwenn:
What makes someone a New Yorker? You have to have lived here for at least fifteen years. And you also have to have been mugged, flashed, or urinated on while riding the subway, had your heart smashed into a million pieces, and been privy to at least two David Blaine performances. I think you also have to die here. Dying here seals the deal.
more here.
Looks like I have 10 years and...

We've Got The Best Team...
Being born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin means maybe I like cheese, beer, and polka music, but you better believe I love my Packers. There’s no alternative in Titletown; above all else you fear and love God, your family, and the Pack—and not necessarily in that order. During the glory years, my middle school days, everyone had a Packer jersey (mine was Robert Brooks; sisters had...

WatchThe Dream of the 90s is Alive in Portland
Maybe it’s because Portland/Oregon completely consumed my professional life for much of 2010, but the clips from Portlandia have me DYING. After I finished my book, I had pretty much determined that I was destined to move there. After all, it’s “where young people go to retire.”
Watch the rest of the clips. You won’t be...

Park Here, NoLita
Pics of this “faux” park, set up in a NoLita event space (conveniently two blocks from my apartment) have been sitting on my camera since it opened a few weeks ago. I’ve been meaning to post them, but time escaped me, and what’s that rule about reporting the news after it happens? (The park was set to close last weekend.) Well, yay, Park Here pop-up park is staying open...

MP3: Fleet Foxes - "Helplessness Blues"
minneapolisfuckingrocks:
*MP3: Fleet Foxes - “Helplessness Blues” I have a hunch that “Helplessness Blues” is a safe release to remind everyone just how great their last album was, however, I hope they take us somewhere new and uncharted on the rest of the record. Fleet Foxes’ new album, Helplessness Blues, will be out on 5/3 via Sub Pop.
It has been far too long. Obsessed, forever. (Webster...
