ohhhh markus ….

Since I plan to go to burning man this year (and my european driving license only is valid for a year here) I had to go through the struggle to get a learners permit from the DMV (and at some point in the future my drivers license. but first things first.)

The DMV (Department for Motor Vehicles, website is fugly, but excellent info and well structured) is around the corner so I went there during lunch break, not really expecting a long wait. Boy was I wrong. Huge line, probably 500/600 there. Fortunately the prettiest girl in the room was in front of me, wearing the shabby grunge supermodel look. Since I was right behind here in line, I started a little chitchat about this whole thing and we had quite some fun time. Talking about the Lifeball (since I am from Vienna) and this whole process and other stuff.

So the waiting time was (although long, about 1.5 hours) quite pleasant. Finally my pic was taken and I took the (easy) test. You only need to have 14 out of 20 questions right (my score was 20/20), but even so a guy in front of me managed to fail. And finally after another wait of about 30min I got my Learners Permit.

Now I am officially allowed to drive again (as long as there is another passenger with a driving license in the car)! yeah!

btw, later in the office I found out who I had this lovely chitchat with. It was Tiiu Kuik. (and yes, she has a boyfriend. big surprise.)

 

Fabulous S dragged me to that barber shop in trendy Williamsburg Greenpoint. Dudes with tattoos, racing magazines and everything very 50ies. And the guy who is doing your haircut, rarely uses scissors, more like a electric razor, switching blades a gazillion times. And at the end I had … the most fabulous haircut ever. And no, I won’t tell where that place was …

  

So after the fiasco last night I went with fabulous S to a Digitalism concert. and this time strictly sobber.

What a blast (as usually at Webster Hall). At the end the crowed was storming the stage, dancing there like there was no tomorrow. Security couldn’t do a thing about it.

Their smash hit “Idealistic”

and another one:

After the concert we passed this superpissed looking tranny, handling the queue in front of the Webster Hall. worth a pic ;) 

  

And afterwards going to St. Marx, browsing through the HUGE underground (adult) comic section. And found quite some pieces (even one in 3D, but the credit for finding this one goes to S) …. 

What an absolutely fabulous night!

ha! I am so happy to finally find a shoe shop that has extremely fancy and gorgeous shoes, speak “jaw dropping style”. and only totally ugly and hideous for women. so the new score for fancy shops is women : men  74.233.932 : 1.

so if you are in New York check out Irregular Choice, you won’t be disappointed.
