into everything

new york was pretty cool. got there and back in one piece for those of you who were worried about me. i did a lot while i was there, more than i thought i would. you could tell me and steve were kinda out of our league once we got there. we met up with kaitlin and meandered to brooklyn where she lives in this huge warehouse with 10 other people. one of which is gavin rossidale's (from the band bush and gwen stefani's husband) former bandmate. after that we settled into our hotel. we were located in the financial district. went to dinner, then out to the bars with her brothers. we went to this one place called mad something, they had arcade games (me and steve had a field day) and graffiti all over the place..then we shuffled to this place called pianos where me and kaitlin met some interesting australians (highlight of the trip) and then we moseyed to this other bar called annex for an 80's dance party with the aussies. that was just day 1. day 2 was shopping in soho for sneakers, we went to a few cool sneaker stores aka BAPE, NIKE etc etc...it was heaven for me. Went to the south street seaport for a concer that night to see Hot Chip for free. Awesome!!! Later that night we went to the lower eastside again for bartime. We hit up this one place and then went back to annex for super dance party with a few really cool DJ's...and then pizza galore at like 4:30 in the morning. Saturday, Steve left and I went to ground zero...extremely intense and overwhelming, and way to much for me to handle. The hole is enormous. I don't think words can express the magnitude of being there. Then I went to this place called Roys Pizza which is where Pacino and DeNero eat. Later it was upperwest side flea market time...then that night dinner at La Botteca in Chelsea. Bartime took place for an hour being as though dinner didn't wrap up until 12 and we were tired from the night before....we went to this little bar in the meat packing district..they had the killers and bloc party on rotation which was cool yet slightly annoying. Sleep was a delight that night.

getting around in NY is a lot different than philly, im so used to our 4 trolley/subway stations. At least I expanded my horizions...and made it back without getting lost. im proud, i think thats a big accomplishment on my behalf. i have no cameras to document this event being as though my camera broke at the 2nd to last ice cream social. blehhhhh i gotta take it to the geek squad asap.

bye! bye!
