Happy Halloween From the East Village

Halloween snuck up on me this year — boo! — but fortunately I have this super fun and spooky mural (artist unknown) to share with you and bring the haunting spirit of the occasion to this rad blog. Here we have a full wall — also playing host to an ATM — depicting a trio of cackling jack o’ lanterns  lounging in a graveyard, as bats circle a mysterious, hilltop castle looming in the background. Yes, it seems to have everything needed to have a Happy Halloween!

Pink is not  a color one would typically associate with Halloween décor, and yet, this adorable, smiling Pink Ghost — with a bow on her head — was discovered by me in the home goods department of TJ Maxx.

If you love Skulls and Taxidermy Bats as much as I do, you will flip out over NYC-based artist Joseph Grazi’s new collection of sculptures and drawings, God Complex, up for just three short weeks at Joseph Gross Gallery. Seriously, it is pretty awesome.

Bat Cake!

This awesome-looking Bat cake was made by an obviously talented baker/cake decorator in Italy, but I couldn’t find the recipe or decorating instructions anywhere on the interwebs. So if you are feeling ambitious and want to make this cake for Halloween, you will have to “wing’’ it.

Texas Is The Reason (For Bats)


Austin Gets Batty

Hey what’s up.  I hope you missed me as much as I missed all of you. I just got back from spending a wonderful week having non-stop rad fun in south Texas with my sister, Keven (or in Espanol: “Quevan,” as I am now calling her). We basically wore ourselves to nubs being shameless tourists, but it was worth it. One of my favorite things we did together while in Texas was cruising out onto Austin’s LadyBird Lake close to sunset and watching 800,000 small bats fly out from under the Congress Avenue Bridge. Seriously, that was just insane. Anyway, Texas (San Antonio in particular) is awesome. You should go there for a vacation, and tell them I sent you.
