 Heading out there on Thursday, staying with Roar Shack. I'll post my camp address when I get it. Let me know if you're going. Vampire Weekend remixed
Vampire Weekend - Walcott (Insane Remix #2)
Do you live within 3 blocks of Union Square?
I'm looking for a place near Union Sqaure where I can shower, store a small bag of clothes, and occasionally watch TV.I moved to Brooklyn 6 months ago. Since then, I burn an extra an average $80 and 25 hours a month to run home to shower/change and head back to Manhattan to meet friends. I will offer you $100/mo to have access to your apartment. I would like a key and would never visit past 10pm, unless you invited me to stay later (like if, for example, there was 2-hour episode of Lost on TV). Please send pics of your showerhead to zklein at gmail. Thx UPDATE: I found a match. Will post pics of the shower as soon as I get permission. To you
STRANGER! if you, passing, meet me, and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me?-Walt Whitman Russian Margarita
I coined the term while mixing drinks on warm night this weekend, for a lack of ingredients on hand:1 part Vodka 1 part Crystal Light If you're feel decadent, spruce with a Fresca floater. Maryland

From my girlfriend upon returning from a company pep rally for their recent acquisition by Microsoft:

They played the Microsoft startup noise, and then dropped balloons. Only, it didn't work the first time so they had to do it again. Seemed fitting. Nick Gray in India
 Have you been keeping tabs on Nick Gray's blog? It used to only detail minutiae from surburban American South, but Nick's gone up and quit his job in Atlanta to move to Mumbai, India. And despite what you might assume about Westerners in India, be certain that Nick's account isn't the diary of a spiritual journey. It's a testament to the easy and long-range mobility defining our generation. I do not have any plans to become a yoga master or to convert to Hinduism. With any luck, I will even find an apartment with air conditioning and a Western toilet.It's essential reading for me because I'm working to have a global comfort zone, to ween myself off nationalism, to learn the wisdom of other cultures, and to live worldly. My intentions aren't necessarily spiritual either ... I want to be ahead of the game, to be on the ground in opening markets, to develop creative businesses that fairly benefit the supplier and demanders. And, thankfully but bittersweetly, only because I'd prefer to do it myself, Nick is trailblazing. He's attempting to live comfortably in India, not as a tourist, but as a creator. He's a prototype for a new wave of cultural and entrepreneurial mashups. Colombian Night
Colombian Night on Vimeo. In celebration of a ten-day trip we're taking to Colombia with our friend Paul and his family in Bogotá, we prepared 4 authentic dishes with the help of Patricia McCausland-Gallo's book Secrets of Colombian Cooking. While selecting recipes, we picked a few that require prep times of 3 hours or more, and when we asked Paul if this would take up too much of the night, he said, "You have to learn to eat like Colombians do ... late and long." Indeed, the meal took 6 hours from start to finish. A new Copy and Taste record. We leave tomorrow to taste the real thing, and what a superb feeling to know we've earned it! Check Copy and Taste for recipes. Listening to Vampire Weekend.

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
