the highline! unfriendly ghosts! 24!

Elvis and Emma Lee went to a sketching class on the Highline yesterday morning. It was wonderful and incredible. Here is Emma Lee’s first and last picture of the session:

Elvis took this pic up in the railyards section of the park. It’s still up in the air whether it will get torn down for condoland or if it will join its other two thirds as an awesome city park. Elvis thinks you should help the Highline. Give them stuff, like cash and love.

Last night Elvis and Emma Lee ran into one of the oldest, and what turned out to be most unfriendly ghosts at the corner bar. (There is a longer and more funny story about the bar’s two bartenders, both named Kevin. There was a night at a juice party where Emma Lee tried to determine based on oral description which one she had made out with in 2006. Both are tall, play guitar and have shaggy brown hair, possess a particular affect—as such, hard to distinguish. Emma Lee mis-identified the Kevin, and a small piece of chaos ensued.)

At a certain point in their five minute conversation it became clear that Emma Lee remembered much more about the ghost named Kevin than the ghost named Kevin recalled about Emma Lee, and he had very little interest in learning anything further. The other Kevin confirmed that he gets more ladies than anyone. “By like a hundred.”

Embarrassed, Elvis wanted to go home immediately, but their drinking companion had more drinks to drink and more eyelashes to bat at the bartender named Kevin that Emma Lee had not made out with in 2006. After playing wing lady and king of Rock and Roll through two more (albeit free) drinks, Emma Lee and Elvis finally escaped. They did not say goodbye to the ghost.

The music lawyer called, but he was at the garden-bar (see #22). Elvis and Emma Lee decided to eat a muffin, have some milk and go to bed instead. The whole thing made Emma Lee and Elvis want to move to California.
