I’m in NYC this weekend and had some of the best sushi ever at Sasabune; the wasabi was like butter and the fish literally melted in my mouth. I headed to Southside after to get my dance on and to meet up with some old friends. Tonight I will be going to the David Byrne show [...]

Honestly I can’t think of another film other than Dark Knight that has gotten me as tingly in the past year as “Notorious” (1/19/2009).
