i love hanging out in parking lots. there’s drama in parking lots - you can make friends, you can make enemies, you can play soccer but my favorite thing to do is to listen to loud music. it has to sound like the speakers are about to be blown out. when i was a tour manager, i spent a lot of time in parking lots all around the country. richmond VA had an awesome parking lot under the freeway. i also got stuck at a burger king parking lot in miami one time and it was pretty fun. my absolute favorite parking lot is the biergarten parking lot on western ave in LA. i’ve fallen in love and i’ve had my heart broken in that parking lot.

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

let me break it down…
Anthology 10 dollars a lot of lesser known avant garde films mixed in with art/foreign films. most things are also projected on film. really good place if your looking for something different.
Moma is like 10 dollars too but if you’re a student you can get a free entry ticket which allows for a free movie ticket you just have to ask the desk. Moma has alot of stuff on film also and is always putting up classics And retrospectives on filmmakers
Momi is also 10 and has a ton of cool 35mm more mainstream films always playing such as kubrick or Micheal mann.museum’s section is also cute especially if you like the muppets.
Lincon center is a good place to go see indies/foreign movies that have come out recently also around 10 dollars also do some retrospectives remasters and 35mm screenings
Spectacle is a community run Brooklyn theater that is one room and plays obscure cinema very fun place to go out to with friends and see something different.
Roxy has some good 35mm screenings good date place to take someone.very comfy inside this fancy hotel downside is little more expensive but overall one of the better theater experiences in New York. Warning hipster central however 😭

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isn’t exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and it’s even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

my friends send me videos of cranes and bridges all the time. it might be better than any movie before 2000. that shit is so captivating. so calming and inspiring. what are they building? when are they going to be done? will they ever be done? where did this crane come from? its so big. sometimes i sit in parking lots watching some fresh construction and think to myself, “are they building another parking lot?”

i’ve always been really good at math. people always asked me for help with math in high school and college. i think it’s strange that other people aren’t as good as math as i am. i thought everybody had to learn math. i use math all the time to make music now. i was also the captain of my high school soccer team (#8) which totally made me an asset.

i love handhelds so much i can’t even describe what they truly mean to me. for beginners, handhelds are sandwiches but as you become more advanced in the art of handhelds, you realize that the possibilities are endless. seafood handhelds, for example, could be anything from a shrimp poboy to an oyster to some baked crab hand rolls from katsuya studio city. connoisseurs understand that handhelds could also be tacos or quesadillas or even chips. the most classic, and my personal favorites, are overpriced tuna melts and cheeseburgers.
