me and my neighbor IM about blogs, other bloggers, libation, my crush on matt and much much more. like, so much more.
jendcarlson (3:26:50 PM): ever since your mention in the new york times sunday edition, how has your life changed?
TheJoeyWay (3:28:35 PM): suddenly I feel head-and-shoulders above all my internet peers, except for employees of gawker media of course. also, my parents have momentarily dropped their feelings of resentment
TheJoeyWay (3:29:08 PM): besides that, i'm still just a normal, intelligent, attractive, awesome dude - like i've always been, ya know?
jendcarlson (3:30:06 PM): have you been to busy being modest to update your blog? you haven't updated since yesterday, which is equivalent to a week in blog time, what gives?
TheJoeyWay (3:31:54 PM): haha, funny you should mention this jen dailyrefill. I have had another Times-worthy post waiting to go since noon, but Blogger's been down all day. it's aggravating to know that my awesomeness is on the screen in front of me, but unable to be disseminated
jendcarlson (3:32:46 PM): i can imagine the frustration, shouldn't a high profile blog such as your own be moved over to movable type?
TheJoeyWay (3:33:14 PM): ouch
TheJoeyWay (3:33:21 PM): well, here's my take on movable type
TheJoeyWay (3:34:31 PM): actually, I don't have a take on it. but our redesign will be up in 1 or 2 weeks, and we won't be using blogger anymore.
jendcarlson (3:34:37 PM): good. these questions are boring. what we really want to know is: what does joey tale of two cities do on a typical evening in the LES?
jendcarlson (3:34:57 PM): i know you go to libation.
jendcarlson (3:35:06 PM): admit it!
TheJoeyWay (3:36:38 PM): i will never, ever set foot in libation...and it's not because of the clientele or aggresive takeover ploy or anything like that. i just refuse to spend $6 on a beer, unless i'm at the Bowery Ballroom or something and have no choice.
TheJoeyWay (3:37:12 PM): and as for a typical evening...during the week i am a waste of space. the weekend is reserved for wherever the High Life flows
TheJoeyWay (3:37:44 PM): i heard a rumor that Jeff of Central Village went to Libation last Saturday night, though
TheJoeyWay (3:38:12 PM): my loose enforcement of capitalization in these IMs is confusing me
TheJoeyWay (3:39:06 PM): I enjoy the library and welcome to the johnsons the most, i think...i like jukeboxes and places you can sit. i am a fat, fat man.
jendcarlson (3:39:09 PM): central village at libation! i saw him at sleater-kinney the other week. wtf?!
TheJoeyWay (3:39:28 PM): yeah i know, again, it's just a rumor...but you know how rumors always turn out
TheJoeyWay (3:39:35 PM): in TRUTH!
jendcarlson (3:39:46 PM): i heard he's a silent partner at libation
TheJoeyWay (3:39:54 PM): but the dude's got a sidekick...first comes the sidekick, then comes the $10.50 cocktails coated in gold dust or whatever
jendcarlson (3:40:02 PM): and dating lizzie grubman
TheJoeyWay (3:40:22 PM): yeah...is she jewish? if she is they're good to go
TheJoeyWay (3:41:37 PM): you know what's funny about the Times thing, though?
TheJoeyWay (3:43:01 PM): in the article, there was a line that said tale of two cities reported tension between club goers and long-haired passersby or whatever
TheJoeyWay (3:43:03 PM): which is true
TheJoeyWay (3:43:11 PM): but the dude never emailed me or anything
TheJoeyWay (3:43:28 PM): i co-write a dumb blog for christ's sake, how did he know i just wasn't making it up?
TheJoeyWay (3:43:44 PM): you would think, if it's in the the times, the dude would have at least e-mailed me to check
jendcarlson (3:44:34 PM): i wouldn't expect the times to check facts
TheJoeyWay (3:45:05 PM): i demand verification from my meaningless trend/neighborhood pieces
jendcarlson (3:45:46 PM): okay, so, if you were free to "make vegan loafs" with any of the employees at 88 Orchard...who would they be? and yes, i'm using "make vegan loafs" as a euphemism.
TheJoeyWay (3:45:52 PM): vegan loaf, if it's hazelnut-chocolate then definitely Matt, if it's chai-chocolate, well, anyone else will do
jendcarlson (3:46:01 PM): is matt the hot one with the lip piercing?
TheJoeyWay (3:46:07 PM): yeah
TheJoeyWay (3:46:26 PM): he's friend with a cousin of mine
jendcarlson (3:46:35 PM): i love matt
TheJoeyWay (3:46:45 PM): i think the whole LES loves Matt
jendcarlson (3:46:47 PM): why doesn't he love me joey, why?!?!?
TheJoeyWay (3:47:19 PM): if the LES was a high school, he would be the quiet loner who was unrelentingly adorable and every girl would want him but not talk about him to each other
TheJoeyWay (3:47:26 PM): how do you know he doesn't love you?
jendcarlson (3:48:21 PM): we are both quiet loners, we can't love each other
jendcarlson (3:48:24 PM): i would sit in the corner of 88, blogging, while he quietly served coffee to patrons of the LES tenement museum.
TheJoeyWay (3:48:40 PM): by the way, matt has a band called mirror mirror. don't you think it's weird when you go see a band and recognize one of the members from the service industry?
TheJoeyWay (3:48:56 PM): i think of that whenever i see sam jayne/love as laughter...he's a bartender at kate's
TheJoeyWay (3:49:09 PM): dude, have you been in there? join the list
jendcarlson (3:49:22 PM): glenn from asobi works (worked?) at clinton st bakery. he gave me free cookies once.
TheJoeyWay (3:49:31 PM): i went to college with that dude
TheJoeyWay (3:49:41 PM): an upstanding gentleman
TheJoeyWay (3:49:44 PM): here's my glenn story
TheJoeyWay (3:49:52 PM): i was but a freshman, finding my way
TheJoeyWay (3:50:16 PM): and i walk into the college of communications offices, and hear neutral milk hotel BLASTING from inside
TheJoeyWay (3:50:23 PM): and i thought i was in a dream or something
TheJoeyWay (3:50:33 PM): but it was just glenn, sitting behind the desk and rockin' it
TheJoeyWay (3:51:02 PM): at that point, i knew i would one day be rich
TheJoeyWay (3:51:10 PM): but it was unrelated to the NMH anecdote
TheJoeyWay (3:51:13 PM): i just knew i'd be rich
jendcarlson (3:51:29 PM): it would be fun to piece together someone's life by a series of seperate encounters with them throughout the years
TheJoeyWay (3:52:33 PM): it seems that this is what this conversation is...Joey Illustrated - the Rise of a Legend
TheJoeyWay (3:52:40 PM): are you going to crash mansion tomorrow night?
jendcarlson (3:52:55 PM): i am going, are you?
TheJoeyWay (3:53:41 PM): i might go, jeff of CV just told me it's gonna be good but he might ditch it for a DJ set at Libation
jendcarlson (3:54:02 PM): that dude loves libation.
TheJoeyWay (3:54:22 PM): it's kind of creepy, his obsession
TheJoeyWay (3:54:40 PM): but hey, isn't the LES all about finding your true self?
TheJoeyWay (3:55:09 PM): if his true self is standing behind a velvet rope where his ancestors once tried to make ends meet, so be it
jendcarlson (3:56:10 PM): we need to save CV. let's have a libation intervention, like on A&E's new series Intervention.
jendcarlson (3:56:15 PM): is this still the interview? so let's wrap this up...to summarize, in 5 words, who is joey?
TheJoeyWay (3:56:39 PM): wait, this was an interview? FOUL PLAY
TheJoeyWay (3:59:04 PM): a well versed culture faucet
