FRIDAY NIGHT (20th):
We checked out the ROOTS CAFE owned and run by Jamey Hamm, on 5AVE & 15TH St. If you're in Brooklyn/Park Slope area this is definitely a cafe to check out. We got to chill at the cafe, listen to music, and meet up with our friend Chris - who I staffed DTS at the same time with back in 2005. (Check out the cafe's website for d's: Root's website)
SATURDAY:
We were invited to a party held in a loft apartment. The apartment was deemed "the best kept secret in South Slope", because of it's size and setup. Above pic. : live art. The artist grabbed random party attendees, had them pose, and painted the outline on their face, layer upon layer of faces. I heard the painting was possibly sold by the end of the night.
Live music - 3 bands, and after we left we heard a dj played. The bands had a projector back up their backdrop, some anime, some random pics, some random clips melded together, etc.
More art...not "live art", but art.
Jamey's band The Spectacle's gave a grooving, blue grass/funk with a 1940's style, slammed with some punk/rock. Very fun. Very good.
SUNDAY:
(No picture....) :(
But we did go to church, Andreas joined the worship team by playing the jimbe.
MONDAY:
Spent time praying for GODLY LEADERS RISE UP! in every sphere of society. Science, Government, Education, Arts/Sports, Media, Church, Family, and Economics. Join in every Monday by praying or fasting or however God leads you.
TUESDAY:
Regardless of the Brooklyn/NYC constant drizzle...we set off in the morning for Bay Ridge. The area of Brooklyn that had potential (back in the day) to become "Little Norway". Now the Norwegians who live here either moved here 40/50 some years ago. We checked out Nordic Delicacies (website). A shop opened and run by Helene, who stocks up with various chocolates, knick-knacks, porridge, norwegian cheese - even BROWN CHEESE! woohoo.
The park that gives tribute to Norwegian explorer Liev Ericson who found the USA back in 1000 BC (but was beaten off by the indians - so has the rumor).
Tuesday evening per usual, I attended Contemporary/Modern with Michael Thomas and Andreas attended Ballet with Finis Jhung at the Alvin Ailey dance center.
WEDNESDAY:
We strolled over to Ikea after I realized the sheets I had for our guest sleeper sofa...SHRUNK! Yes, the shrunk. So we bought new sheets, and I found this sweet lantern for just under $5! yay! Also we went to Atmosphere to practice for an upcoming performance on September the 13th.
THURSDAY:
After working at Postmark Café, we went to an outdoor movie event! They only happen here in the summer, so this was probably our last chance to go. Which means it's our only time attending one of the NY outdoor movie events. VERY well worth it!! (it was a free event at the Brooklyn Bridge Park)
Dun, dun-dun-dun, dun, dun-dun... Indiana Jones! 
Me and the Mr.
post the movie. Pier 1 at the Brooklyn Bridge Park is beautiful, to just chill, hangout, picnic, if you live in the area and you haven't check it out yet....what are you doing? ;)
