anybody ever go to the jane hotel? saw some comedy-type monologue show interspersed with a couple of songs last night. couple of the performer were good including the one i went to see, others not so much. but i was fortunate to get one of the last seats in the balcony though it was on a low couch and i had to spy the acts through the ironwork railing and occasionally fronds from a large plant. place definitely has a wes anderson vibe only slightly creepier. the room was cool though. here it is on its best day bathed in natural light. probably 25% shabbier in reality which is fine by me.

I never have. I think Bree has. I always liked the building from the outside. Looks like a cool room. 

• i took the m14 bus! across 14th st to the hudson & w13th. walked to the west side and managed to walk past jane st (theres some weirdness there if you look at the map) all the way down to houston. saw a cop giving a motorcycle a ticket and made him take his phone out and find it on google maps. he was very nice about it. oh yeah, still dont have a data plan. 1 1/2 miles out of my way. i was 1/2 hour early so other than sitting up top it worked out.

hotel was reno'd in 2009 by the same guys that did bowery hotel and the standard. the ballroom is modern-retro. pretty convincing.
