Brooklyn Burger, Bad for Bison, Eau D'Jersey
Friday, February 6, 2009

Rock and roll: Checked out Roscoe's new Cowboy Technical recording studio in Williamsburg. (New Heathens were the last band to track in the old one). The new place, on the 6th floor of a building at the base of the Williamsburg Bridge, looks really cool! Got to eavesdrop on the mixing some of Kasey Anderson's new record, which sounds sweet.

From there we went to Peter Luger's for lunch and I missed the great pic: both Roscoe and Kasey photographing their hamburgers with their phones. Watch for burger pix on Roscoe's blog.

Bad News for Buffalo: Montana House Bill 253, which I blogged about last week, died in committee. Very disappointing for those of us who want a solution that would allow Yellowstone bison to cross the park's border without being shot by the Department of Livestock.

Pancakes anyone? The New York Times (note the byline) reports today that a mystery maple syrup smell in Manhattan was traced to a factory in the New Jersey town where I used to live, North Bergen.

My issue is this, with all the nasty, awful smells wafting over Jersey (the scent of raw sewage around the turnpike near Newark Airport springs to mind) why were New Yorkers upset about the aroma of maple syrup? Memo to Manhattan: it could have been a lot worse!
