Brooklyn musician Scott Alexander, better known as the "Cookie Man," is leaving New York to be with his wife in California. You mean giving out vegan cookies for free from an inflatable couch on the street isn't as rewarding as love? Comedian Dave Keating, who organized Alexander's goodbye-show last night at The Suffolk, told the Daily News, "Damn. He is taking his delicious cookies with him." But Alexander hopes that the West Coast will be as receptive to his baking endeavors. "I'm actually hoping that doing the cookie thing might help me find a job. People seem to be most impressed by me when they see me giving away cookies."
