Summer in the city means RAIN!

Friday I slept in, went grocery shopping, and puttered around until the afternoon, when I went to Ben and Atsuko's and met them and Matt and headed up to Williamsburg to see a Regina Spektor concert at the McCarren Park Pool. The Pool is this absolutely gigantic old pool that had fallen into disrepair. My guess is it was a WPA project. Anyway, a couple summers ago they started holding concerts there, which is pretty neat. This is the last summer, though, because they're turning it back into a gigantic pool. Which is also neat. Anyway, we got in and watched the opening act, Albert Hammond Jr. from the Strokes, which was fun for me because he dates a supermodel and I spotted her right in front of us. Then, it started to rain. A lot. We stuck it out, but we got pretty wet. It was worth it, because Regina was AMAZING! If you like her even in the slightest, I really recommend you go see her live. I've seen her 4 or 5 times in a lot of different venues, and she is always incredible and charming and just so impressive to watch and listen to. Her latest album was more rock-y, with a full band, but she played this show just her and a grand piano, with the addition of three string players for a set and two beat boxers for a couple numbers. So awesome. Also, so wet and cold. Matt and I took the bus home, got dry, ordered a pizza, and vegged out.
