The thing about living in Brooklyn, is that it makes it impossible to get anywhere in Brooklyn.  Greenpoint might as well be on the moon for me.  I know it is only 3 stops on the G train, but Jesus, the chances of me going there any time soon are not very good.  My friends at the Pullout Method were hosting the FUN party at Studio B last Friday and they hired me to take pictures.  I was running late so I decided to take a car service to Studio B instead of the G train.  The problem was that the guy did not know how to get there.  After a 30 minute wandering drive we arrived and somehow it only cost me eight dollars.  As soon as I walk in I realize I left my flash at home.  On almost any other occasion I would have left defeated, but I wanted to do my friends proud so I decided to go back and get my flash.  I was about to get another car when I ran into Kids With Snakes.  They offered me a ride somewhere.  I figured this would help me get home, but they actually just dropped me off near an L train. I don’t really live that close to an L, so I just decided to walk home.  On my long walk home, I flagged down a cab that just happened to be driving by.  I asked him if he would take me home, wait 30 seconds while I grabbed my flash and then drive me to Greenpoint.  He said he would.  Three dollars and 80 cents worth of cab driving later we are at my house and the guy tells me if I am not back within 30 seconds he is leaving.  He makes me give him five dollars and tells me he is going to leave.  I run as fast as I can and catch him right as he is pulling off, flash in hand.  I jump in and he starts to take me to Greenpoint.  Again, this driver has no idea where he is going.  He tells me he does, but he doesn’t.  After he keeps driving aimlessly waisting my hard earned money I yell at him to stop.  The ride is $9.80 and I allready gave him five.  I was pretty pissed off at this point so I just give him $5.  The truth is I was pissed off I had to tip him 20 cents.  He tells me to fuck off and we get in a screaming match.  That guy was a complete asshole.  I wish I still had my 20 cents.  In the distance I see the Nassau G train.  I walk to it, check a subway map, get lost, and 20 minutes later make it to the show.  The whole trip took me about an hour.  I get there to see Professor Murder finishing their set.  I quickly take a bunch of shots of the crowd, assuming Lady Sovereign is going to start playing at any moment.  Then this happened. Then I got talked into going to White Castle with Niko XO and Sarah Lee.  45 minutes later we are going the wrong way on the G train and I end up 20 minutes late for work.  Which, by the way, I had to be at at 5:30 AM.  FUN indeed.   Here are the photos at least…
