ooh, jason lam so hungry in nyc
Last night’s party was so awesome. Food catered by Gourmet Garage and a 6-foot sub from Lorimer Market. Great music by Sarah Dooley, Wildcats, Marcellus Hall, Prince Rupert’s Drops, Tigers and Monkeys, 100 Oaks Revival band, and Justice of the Unicorns. I can’t believe all the people that came to completely down all that food. Next time we gotta get a longer sub.
Here’s our Holiday Compilation, featuring new music we are putting out in the new year. Free to download and stream!
Party time at K&M Bar! Was frickin awesome. So much good chili and music! Very proud of everyone. This time a chili won.

Best use of Cilantro: Brad’s Chicken Vindaloo Chili. It went super fast.

Shit. We had such a good time at the NYC Food Film Festival. The food was fuckin delicious (Thanks Neil Cain, Alfonso Maldonado and crew). I can’t believe they made 300+ Turtle Burgers, plus lobster, octopus, blood sausage, pig face terrine. The bartenders made us stupid. The festival staff was rad. The films were really good. I couldn’t believe how much people wanted to talk to us about Turtle Burgers. It was really cool. We are so thankful for being there, getting free beer and making new friends.
We’re working on next year’s film. We were shooting it today. It involves fart scent spray, called Liquid Ass. It was kinda a really bad idea.
I’m excited. My video of Rusty making a Bacon-wrapped Turtle Burger will be screened at this year’s NYC Food Film Festival. It’s part of the Food Porn Party night –Saturday October 15, 2011. Tickets are $75. Pricey to see my Rusty on the big screen, but it includes drinks and fancy food from Saxon + Parole, lobster, octopus and even mini Turtle Burgers!
Rusty and I are going to have to get a tux.

Went to the Bushwick Block Party today in this crazy heat. It was actually enjoyable with mist sprayers and a hydrant cracked open. Some little 5 year old Dominican kid was dancing all thugged out to the heavy rock band, The Netherlands. His dad pulled him aside near me. Me and this other guy were looking at the kid like “yeah, rock on little buddy.” So the guy bends down to pat the kid and the little boy smacks him in the face. We both thought it was fucked up but funny as hell.
It looks like there are a couple of metal heads doing the pledge of allegiance.
FOOD: Free pizza generously provided by Roberta’s, unfortunately with an incredibly long line. A few other vendors selling meatless sloppy joes and ham sandwiches. There was a Arancini (Sicilian Rice Ball) Eating Contest brought to you by Arancini Bros in Bushwick. Some big guy ate 14 balls in 3 minutes. I went to go get a couple myself at the booth. I can’t believe that guy ate so many. One is pretty filling. But they were pretty good, so maybe it was worthwhile. I got Bacon & Broccoli Rabe and Ragu (sauce and cheese).
Ran into a bunch of friends which was cool. But Rusty and I eventually left early. Assholes were getting drunk and about to be stabbed for being a dick. Dang, giving hipsters a bad name. I don’t mess with Bushwick. Stefano took this nice photo of a Bushwick native taking away this dude’s watergun.

On our way back home to pick up some Grand Seafood, we saw this scary looking dentist office.
…and this flyer on a street pole that I really don’t get, pointing to two Indian restaurants in the area. The flyer’s disgusting. I don’t get it, unless it’s something lost in translation from someone who doesn’t speak English well?

This cookie contest party was nutz. Thank you all for bringing the awesome cookies. I’m not sure who won the grand prize. All I know is that the trophy got passed around into the crowd and manhandled into pieces. Thanks to all who performed –Jantar, Marcellus Hall, Animal Hands, Gang of Craft, Playboys of the Western World, Matt Gill, Cold Lumps & the Cookie Cutters, Nimesh Patel, The Sweatermen, This Frontier Needs Heroes and Justice of the Unicorns. Thank you Good Co. for the party bus! Thank you Brad, Jessica and Russ for co-hosting. Two days later, my fingers still smell like cookies.
Here are the pics. Something happened to the place cards. Shit.
I was taking a piss when the Sweatermen started National Lampoon’s Vacation’s “Holiday Road”. I just heard the whole bar erupting in the sing-along. When I came out, they went into this little number…
