The temperature has dropped 25 degrees in the last couple of days. The window AC unit has officially be uninstalled. Summer is over, my friends. A Instagram recap of some funtime happenings I managed to squeeze in between all the weddings on this, my 10th summer, in New York City.

Summer officially began on April 30, 2011. At least in our Brooklyn parts. That’s when Lindsay, Kelly and I hosted what is sure to be the first of many rooftop shows at our apartment in Brooklyn, New York. Many thanks to all who attended and especially to the night’s many talented performers.

The awesome lineup included: Rachel & Mike (of Summer Hours), Jaymes Dec and Laura Young, Brad Willard & Elisa Winter, Lindsay Welsch, Josh Sanburn (of A Silent C), Lost Gloves, Alexis Alchorn (of the Kitchens), David Dondero and Sean Walsh and the National Reserve.

Had a chance to catch up with some of my favorite buddies from the Los Angeles punk band No Age at Le Poisson Rouge in the West Village last night.

Just having both their full-lengths records named in Pitchfork’s Top Albums of the Decade list, Dean and Randy were in town this week playing four shows, including one as part of a Spike Jonze video exhibition at the MOMA and another accompanying the Jean-Jacques Annaud’s 1989 film, The Bear at the New Museum.

Truly inspiring work from two awesome guys I grew up with in the Silver Lake DYI art scene. Listen to their new EP Losing Feeling on Sub Pop’s site.
