Song of the day: I'm Only Sleeping - The Beatles and Good Life - Kanye West
I've realized that New York is very similar to Las Vegas.
Your experience and time varies greatly upon who you are with.
In my case, in who is visiting.
Reed had come just the week before and it was a very sports oriented and couple-y trip. Katie's trip had a whole different spin on it. As did Angie's, who came 4 days later. Katie's was a chic vampire's delight and we had no need for this thing humans called "morning". Angie's was the epitome of a "girly trip", complete with 2 Broadway shows, the Sex and the City tour, brunch and a pedicure. And although I've repeated a couple of the sites, I haven't come close to repeating experiences.
And, just like Vegas, what goes on there stays there so I'll only say this of Katie's and my vampire chic weekend. and in order to protect the innocent, it'll all be in alphabetical order:

If I haven't mentioned it before - I love this trip recap. :-) So looking forward to being back out there!
ReplyDeleteThink of something fun to do on Friday 10/15 when Michaelyn and I are both around? I think Roger might randomly be playing in NY that weekend, so possibly live music, or...? Who knows? We can go anywhere the evening takes us - whoo hoo!
