Cheese Buyer
How about we… head to The Ides at Wythe Hotel for the monthly installment of Santé Motherf*ckers - a DJ party with magnums of natural wine going around.
How about we… check out Tørst in Greenpoint when it opens later this week, and dig on the Scandinavian design & beers.
How about we… go check out the "We Buy White Albums: Rutherford Chang" exhibition at Recess, and grab a drink in the hood afterwards.
About Foster
An awesome place I've visited:
Private backstage tour of the Metropolitan Opera during intermission at Otello. Dinner at Blanca. Appenzeller cheesemaker in the Swiss Alps.
My perfect Sunday:
Breakfast at the bar at Diner with the Sunday Times crossword. Mid-afternoon walk around the neighborhood. Cooking dinner at home with good tunes blasting. A good book/movie and a glass of wine to finish it out.
The movie I've watched the most times:
Annie Hall. Blazing Saddles. Jurassic Park.
My life history in 5 sentences or fewer:
"He lacks altogether elect phrase, musical rhythm and any charm of imagination or thought. He sins constantly in baseness and vulgarity. ... None the less, one cannot but admire his positive ability. A mixture of good sense and mischievousness transpires successfully through his elaborately roguish airs."
My first concert / My dream concert:
First concert: Ben Folds Five. Best concert: LCD Soundsystem Terminal 5 (3rd show). Dream concert: Count Basie Orchestra in full in the 50's. Velvet Underground w/ Nico at the Factory
Obscure knowledge I possess:
Can solve a Rubik's Cube in about 90 seconds. Used to be able to translate Ancient Greek, but I'm a little rusty.

If I won the lottery and quit my job, I would:
Buy a farm upstate, and make cheese, raise animals, grow crops, and brew beer. And I'd open a shop/restaurant in Brooklyn to sell my wares. Or I'd buy this castle: http://www.sothebysrealty.com/eng/sales/detail/180-l-682-4000014710/extraordinary-medieval-castle-torino-to-10018
