Instant fan of Bobby Flay's Three Days to Open. All the trauma of a start-up company, but vicariously.

31 Days of German Riesling
Concert Cruise 2012
THIS Tuesday! July 24, 2012, 8-11pm
All-you-can-drink Riesling, 2 live bands, a 3-hour-long cruise!
My favorite 31 days of the year are winding down, though take some heart in the fact that there are few things that Mr. Paul Grieco lets come to an end without some serious fireworks.
THIS Tuesday, July 24, we'll embark on the second-annual, 31 Days of German Riesling Concert Cruise!
What exactly is a German Riesling Concert Cruise?
Imagine about 300 of Riesling's greatest fans, a boatload of Riesling (literally), two musical acts (see below), a German Wine Queen and a 3-hour cruise around New York Harbor.
This is New York City and this is how we do it - enough with the same old, same old.
For the music, the night will begin with the Dead Exs and then, as the Riesling hits its own crescendo, the four-piece, all-female tribute band to Led Zeppelin will take the floor: Lez Zeppelin!
The $54 tariff includes the trip, the music and all-you-can-drink Riesling. If you muster up a party of eight friends, go ahead and drop the charge to $35 a person. (The Crush Crew is taking advantage of this deal - you'll find eight of us on board!)
Food, familiar to anyone who's been to one of Grieco's Terroirs, will also be available for a price.

Brown Pelicans in Brooklyn
Seen from Calvert Vaux Park 7/14/12
Despite the atrocious reviews we went to see To Rome With Love. Not as bad as the reviews indicated. This makes two WA movies in a row seen in a theater. It helps to have a local independent art house. They were bragging in a promo clip about purchasing digital projectors and their plans to move into the future. Not sure if that's good or not. Not thrilled seeing giant pixels on the big screen. I don't know If it makes a difference anyway since the first thing we discussed leaving the theater was how unviewable the big scenic pan shot was. I mean total visual chaos that seemed to go on forever. You had to shut your eyes. I liked the retro style of the film although the alitalia product placement would have been pan-am back in the heyday of jet set romantic comedies. In an interview with a main actor, (AB) addressed WA's hands-off directorial technique. Relaxing after a take ab asked the other actor in the scene, "do you
think he liked it?" Other actor: shrug.
