X: Rancid, Norwood House, Beach, Ice Cream

Had a fun-filled and super busy weekend! Saw Rancid perform at the Fillmore (I still call it Irving Plaza, but whatever) on Friday night with bf and two other people. Rancid was so awesome. They played all their old hits and even one Operation Ivy song. Tim Armstrong gained some weight and no longer has a mohawk. Shaved head. Balding, perhaps? I wish he didn't dress like an LA gangster-- what happened to the punk rock look? They're from CA, so I guess he is allowed to look all gang-y. Afterwards, we tried to grab dinner at the beautiful and super classy Norwood House (competitor of the Soho House, but "less Euro trashy" and no photographs or cell phone use allowed), but it was tres late and the dining section was closed. In any case, the place is beautiful and I can't wait to dine there and try out the beer-battered dipped frog legs! I didn't take this photo, but here is the gist:



On Saturday, took the train to Brooklyn and met up with the bf for his magazine party/show extravaganza. Ate free tacos and sweat a lot.

Sunday was perfect weather! Went to the beach with the bf in an old school Lilly Pulitzer bikini and worried about getting a sunburn. Read GQ's piece on James Franco-- skip it. He is a snooze. Read great articles in New York Magazine about race/Obama. Do not skip! After the beach, we hit up Whole Foods and later, met up with longtime best friend and looked through her brand new photos from her vacation to Italy, France and Switzerland and then treated myself to weekly splurge of Cold Stone. (FYI: Cold Stone on 72nd Street posts their calories now!!! Horrific.)
