Y3 D201

Made it to New York. Okay fine, technically I am in Jersey City, but New York is right there AND I didn't just hide in some car to get here. I landed at JFK and had an adventure on my way in. Left for the airport yesterday around 5am. Nothing like getting up at 4 when you just got home at 1 from a show.

Plane left on time at 7 and the next thing I know it's 3:45pm EST. Instead of just wussing out and spending 100+ on a cab or car service, I decided to see if I could take public transportation and get where I needed to go. Took me about 2 hours, but I did it and in the process got to see some of New York. First stop was the train from the airport to the Long Island Railroad station. That was nothing exciting. But once I hit LIRR, it felt like a movie. It really had this 'east coast' feel about it. I don't know how else to explain it. That took me from JFK to Penn Station. I got to be right in the heart of Broadway, Madison Square Garden, Fashion Ave, etc. On one hand it was kind of cool because this is something I have never seen before, on the other? I had just flown 6+ hours and basically, I am in the city. Meh. It's my city just noisier and with more people. I walked a few blocks from the LIRR to the PATH train station. The PATH takes you under the tunnel and on to the other side of Manhattan. Again, neat because I have never done these things, but overall, meh, it's a city, this is a train, it's crowded, my leg hurts, and there's nowhere to sit until Hoboken. So whatever.

Got to the hotel and then found the nearest grocery store. I now have plenty of Rockstar. The weird part is being three hours difference from everyone I know. THAT is the oddest part. I have a feeling I woke up this morning when some if not most of my friends, including TGF were just going to bed. I also warned TGF that if she tries to call me after dance that it will be 1:30am my time and I will be cranky.

Off to the client who for once works early. Usually I am sitting around waiting, but this guy gets in at 7 and leaves at 4. My kind of guy.
