Feeling creative and excited.
Union Square.
Vermont a few weeks ago. Hopefully going to Japan in 2026.
Boise Idaho and Ogden Utah. Both surprisingly chic!
Fire Island.
In 2019 at The Garage in London, my band Charly Bliss played a sold-out album release show. The record had been out for less than 24 hours, and people already knew all the lyrics. It felt like we were The Beatles.
Suzume in Williamsburg.
From home. In my breakfast nook.
For dinner, when it takes too long and the food ends up being expensive but not worth the price. For drinks, when there are too many people and it takes forever to get served.
Everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, and tomato.
AI being used to make art.
Cabs: from home to the bar and back again, from my parents’ house in Connecticut to Brooklyn, always to and from the airport.
Probably directing theatre.
The Village.
I like when someone has things they want to do but can still go with the flow. I don’t like when people complain or bring the vibe down.
Niceness. Obviously, don’t be rude or disrespectful, but I think it’s worse to be overly fake-nice than to just be neutral.
My French bulldog, Chico. He is my baby.
Amazon.
I love how pretty Park Slope is and how everything I need is so close by. I hate how impossible the parking can be.
Jealousy is a disease to which I say, get well soon!
