Lesley Arfin, Jen Brill, celebrating the new year

 

While you were out celebrating the New Year, resident New Yorker, Fred & Associates director, and sometime-host Jen Brill was hard at work reflecting upon her favorite nights in 2008. What is her resolution? Like last year, she's going to quit smoking, and put in more hours at the office. Some things never change, so let the fun remain.



1. Tom Sachs opening at Lever House (05/08)
What's better than multiple Hello Kitties fifteen-times my size shooting water out of their eyes and mouths? A DJ set by Malcolm McLaren? High five, Sachs!

 

2. X concert at Irving Plaza (05/24)
I've only seen VHS tapes of X shows during the 80s and every single time I've watched one I've threatened to bleach my hair and start a band, even though I can't sing a note.  Bassist John Doe looked exactly like he did in 1980, and Exene Cervenka sang like an angel. I almost cried when they played "Nausea." In a misguided attempt to fit in among the old punkers I wore my Christopher Kane steel-toe boots. I don't think anyone was fooled.
