I got blackout drunk a few weeks ago in Astoria, and since then I haven't been able to find my boulder. Looking back at my phone pictures, I had it the morning of, but no pictures of it after that night. I got it from a foster quarry as 3 oz unwanted pebble during covid. I'll admit that I'm a sucker and definitely overfeed the cute thing -- so it's probably about 6 feet cubed and north of 12 tons.

The night I lost it, I had a few drinks at the LetLove Inn, and then a few more at the Bonnie. That's where I got separated from my friends, and all I remember. It's possible I went looking for a good Gyro, as I often do when I get inebriated. It's also possible I went looking for places that no longer exist like Star Garden or Rizzo's Italian.

If you think you have my boulder but aren't sure, drop me a comment asking about it, and I'll answer your question.

I'll be coming back to Astoria this Thursday to do my $10 Live Magic show at QED, so if you do have it, I can get it back from you then.

Looks like it will remain as a Greek business with same name but changes are expected

Now that my beloved Pranam is closed where should I get butter chicken?? Theirs was the best I’d ever had in my life so high bar to clear

Are there any community programs or classes to learn Spanish in Astoria? Or recommended tutors in the area?
I know there’s so many online options but would love to use this as a way to meet others in the neighborhood with the same goal
