Pastiche
Pastiche in Providence makes delicious homemade treats, especially when it comes to fruit tarts. Moonie will happily attest to this, whether I want him to or not.
Back off, little troll. MINE.
Month: May 2015
Moonie & ERB
One of the most fun things about Rhode Island is the Extraordinary Rendition Band. The ERB, an open band with at least 30 members of all ages, can best be described as a guerrilla activist street band, popping up in unexpected places to bring attention to various causes or to cause good-natured fun and mayhem – usually both at the same time – while dressed in their trademark “red, white and shiny.”
Moonie had a blast meeting them and dancing to their tunes today.
Even if his rounded, kind of wobbly feet almost helped him fall into the abyss of ERB’s giant sousaphone.
Moonie Gets Arrested
Uh oh.
Moonie and I ran into the po-po, and it turns out there are several warrants out on him.
We tried to say it was a case of mistaken identity – as hard as this is to believe, he’s not the only naked 3-inch doll with pink hair in Rhode Island – but they weren’t having it.
He was arrested by a no-nonsense officer.
Luckily, his little arms were way too small for the cuffs, and the police agreed to let him go with a warning if he’d promise to behave in the future.
Moonie promised–although I thought I saw him crossing his teeny little fingers behind his back.
And was that a wink in his little amber eye?
(Thanks to the Providence Police Department for being good sports!)
Moonie & The Daltrys
When they’re not busy being an amazing singer/songwriter and an amazing artist, Chris and Jennifer Daltry run Providence’s coolest combination antique and record shop, What Cheer. Moonie and I stopped by their booth at the Providence Rock & Roll Yard Sale (a fantastic event they coordinate a couple times a year in Providence, RI and Somerville, MA). Chris showed off a What Cheer t-shirt while Jennifer was adorable in her Kentucky Derby duds.
And the guy behind Jennifer? That’s a whole different story.
Moonie & HP
Pete Lima is a fantastic musician but spends most of his time DJing as the aptly-named Handsome Pete. Catch DJ HP at various gigs around Providence as well as emceeing a monthly karaoke night for hipsters (well, not on purpose, but that’s who seem to attend the most) at Nolan’s Corner Pub. Or, if you’re Moonie, catch him holding a plant during downtime at a record sale.
Moonie & Anthony
Sometimes I’m lucky enough to run into Anthony Loffredio, talented singer and songwriter for the band Barn Burning, with or without his dog Moses. He informed me that Moonie is a Van Halen fan (who knew?), so they had fun posing together with an album. I hope to catch some of Anthony’s solo or Barn Burning shows again soon, with or without my nude lil’ dude!
Moonie & Matt
Moonie got to meet Matt Rozzero, talented drummer for The Brother Kite and The ‘Mericans.
Turns out they had a lot in common.
Independent Bookstore Day
May 2nd is Independent Bookstore Day! Moonie and I hit a local favorite, Books on the Square in Providence, where a nice lady from Campus Fine Wines made us a special literary-themed cocktail.
Then he posed with Books on the Square’s adorable manager, Jennifer, in her favorite section, mystery (oh wait, I should have let you guess that part).
What a great afternoon! Moonie suggests you go support your local bookstore. They’re good stuff.
Frog & Toad
Moonie likes to shop local, but he has trouble picking out just one thing. He’s a natural double-fister.
Spreadsheets
Moonie helped a bit at work today.
He’s a whiz in Excel.
