As we've noted: We love our new office. The commute, however, takes some getting used to. As the R train inched its way across Brooklyn this morning, I found this article in the New York Times which only made things worse. Apparently the JVC Jazz Festival in NYC is no longer. Turns out the company behind the festival (a summertime constant in the city since 1984) has run into some financial problems (big surprise). But then I remembered the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party is just three weeks away! If you haven't been, it's amazing: 14 of the nation's top pitmasters cook up their award-winning ribs, pulled pork, brisket and so on. And you get to sample everything—for just $8 per plate. Best of all, the two-day festival features music from six bluesy, soul singers like Howard Tate, The Dixons and SaRon Crenshaw. So while we're sad to see the JVC Festival go, we're sure the blues and soul emanating from Madison Square Park—coupled with a heaping order of baby back ribs—will help take the edge off.
