When the weekend starts with Elvis Costello taking the mic, unscheduled and unannounced, singing A Slow Drag With Josephine then a Hank Williams tune with the real opening band, I'd say that's a pretty sure sign it's going to be a really good weekend. Besides an amazing concert (Amos Lee was the headliner, though it turned out to be a very good idea to have arrived early), there was giggly, girly wedding dress shopping, West Village brunching, supportive carbo-loading (I did not run a half marathon, but ate like I did), cheering for the friends who ran the race, and a birthday brunch for a lovely friend. All in all, a splendid start to April.
