For those of you who are going to be on Long Island or in the city this Friday, I strongly recommend checking out our pillow fight!
Right now 505 people are definitely coming from Facebook alone, 420 maybes and 1,200 haven't responded yet!!!! That is so crazy! There are probably going to be over a thousand people there, if not thousands! *wow!*
So really, just jump on the LIRR this Saturday for a massive pillow fight in Union Square, 2 PM. It is going to be so much fun :)
I am overjoyed at James Reihing's decision to publish the next version of Disillusionment!
For those who don't know or don't remember, Disillusionment 1.0 was an underground newspaper published in Cold Spring Harbor High School by me and Greg Reihing, James' older brother, among other very important people.
This makes me so happy I cannot even express it! High school activism is so hopeful and awesome, and I am just totally in awe that the paper has been revived. It almost makes me want to start writing again :)
I am so in love with this place... huge room, high ceilings, located in an art gallery(!) situated on top of an art supply store. The Queen streetcar is steps from the door and the neighborhood is awesome. Lots of cute little shops and trendy galleries, along with some electro dance parties in renovated hotels.
Now time for vacation!
