So I went up to New York again for Thanksgiving, and realized I had forgotten to count it as a state I’ve visited. One more down!
I met Momus in NYC, and he was nice enough to sign my copy of ID Magazine. What a fantastic writer, performer, thinker and all-around guy.
Last night: a whirlwind visit to New York City. Caught Momus’ only US show this year. It was FANTASTIC. I loved the city, and now I’ll have to visit again soon. It was a little overwhelming, but nowhere near as scary and unmanageable as I thought it would be.
