THE dress.

I ordered it. But you can't see it. 

But I'll give you some hints, it's white and long. 

Use your imaginations!

I do have to admit, even though I never believed it, you do kinda get that this is THE DRESS moment. Or maybe I was just high on lace, tafetta and 2 cafe mocha's.

Room with a view.

After two snowy weekends of tromping through the 5 boroughs (pre-disabled Mark) we have come to a decision on a venue. The lucky winner is Pochron Studios. A studio space in Dumbo Brooklyn. For those of you who aren't familiar with our hood Dumbo stands for "down under the Manhattan bridge (O)" not sure what the O stands for but I imagine they didn't want to just call the area Dumb, that wouldn't be nice.

Anyway, It's one of our favorite areas in Brooklyn, situated right next to Brooklyn Bridge Park along the luscious East River (not the one planes land in, the other one).

The space is located on the 11th floor of a loft building and has an adjoining roof deck. The view looks out on the Manhattan Bridge and across to midtown with nice clear views of the Empire State building. This should make for some nice Kodak moments so charge your digi's.

Speed Dating.

We have a date so stop asking.

We've decided to test our planning and organizational skills by setting the date a mere six months away.

I wish.

Actually we had little to do with this decision. Apparently finding a space and an available date in NYC is very similar to trying to find an apt here. You race around seeing as many places as possible, then call one to find out it has already been taken by the skinny blonde girl who was also looking at it the same time as you. Bitch. So you keep calling down the list until someone tells you they actually have some availability. That availability is a Sunday in February (dark, first floor apt in Park Slope but new dishwasher) or a Saturday in August ("cozy" one bedroom in Boerum Hill but no dishwasher) . I'll take it where do I sign!

The "cozy" apt (date in August) quickly becomes the best decision you've ever made because its your own, and in this city any space (or date) you can call your own is something to fall in love with.

So August 1, 2009 it is. Get ready for some hot fun in the summertime.
