Enid's Apple Pie contest!

Today Joey (my brother) and I entered an apple pie in Enid's apple pie contest. It was a super busy day and we had to take the pie directly out of the oven and run it over there in time for the 6:00 deadline. The whole time, I imagined tripping and falling face first into a steaming hot pie on the sidewalk. I didn't.They were featuring "foods-on-a-stick" so we had corndogs and caramel apples. Then we waited while they judged the pies.... It was so crowded that we didn't get to see who won :(
I sent Joey into the fray to retrieve the pie, but it was pretty well gutted by the time he got it back. Then on the way out the door we were shanghaied by more people with forks. It was fun :)

Joey said my pie should've at least won "Best Personality"This was my favorite! not sure whether or not it won anything, because it was too crowded to see the winners.

Andrew came out to Williamsburg a couple weeks ago and we had a great studio/outdoor session. I feel like we're old friends already. We ran into him at the Met Broadcast of Opening Night in Times Square and sat together for the Manon! I missed the Cappriccio, which he said was definitely the best part of the broadcast.

I hear that the Met is starting a new streaming video subscription! like $150/year to see all of their historical recordings... worth it? I think so!

Why yes, there was a pie fight on my block tonight....

This is why I love NYC. Tonight after work there was a pie fight on our block. The Brick Theater is having an International Clown Theater Festival and it kicked off today with a parade that started in Union Square (where the noses were distributed) and ended in a pie fight on our block The main event had several seatings and devolved into an underwear-only pie fight, naturally.
