Friday Recap, etc

Didn't realize how disjointed Friday's description was.

4am wake up (after sleeping at 2am) to get to airport for 7am flight. Landed 8:30am, trained all by myself on New Jersey Transit to NY Penn Station. Got out of station and was RIGHT at Madison Square Gardens -- where the Republican National Convention was. Luckily it ended the night before, so wasn't insane, but cops were still everywhere, as was most of the propaganda. Good thing about having cops everywhere, there were safe people for me to ask for directions =)

Found my way to B&H (turned out to be just around the corner). Spent about $230 USD in an hour!! Luckily it wasn't all my own purchases. And yes I finally got a bag =) Pretty sweet, it has a place for the tripod too!! =D

Finished shopping, then took the NY subway all by myself to meet up with GKY and ILC at Rockefeller. Was impressed that I didn't get lost, NYC has local and express trains, and something like trains A,C,E,G,Y,W,D can all arrive at the same station, but go on different routes. So complicated.

Did some shopping, then off to Little Italy for lunch, with ILC's friends. Bbt and street shopping in Chinatown. Then off to Ground Zero (and running into the Chengs). Walked to South Street Seaport to buy the cheap tix for Chicago (the Broadway musical), did shopping, and took pics of Brooklyn Bridge. Was cool, as we were taking pics, a contingent of huge army helicopters flew over the bridge. Hope those pics turned out well.

Also, we experimented with GKY's camera setting called "coupling shot". So funny, we tried patching pics of us together so that it looked like a 4th person took a pic of the three of us, when really it was us switching up, and trying to stitch the pics together. It was fun, but we all have shaky hands (BL, you're not alone!!! hahaha).

Virgil's for dinner, saw Chicago (their theatre was so small, compared to TO theatres!!), took pics at Times Square, then got back on the subway to Grand Central. All three of us fell fast asleep on the train ride back to Stamford. Did a grocery run at the 24 hour Stop & Shop before heading home.

Bright and early Sat morning drove into the camp site. Site was nice, pretty scenic. Painful part was walking up the HUGE hill to get to the cabins. We went out on a row boat as well. Was hilarious, the three Canadian girls on a row boat, GKY was rowing, ILC was holding up the Mashimaro umbrella so that GKY wouldn't tan her face, and I was shooting =) hahah, they thought we were freaks =D

I'm tired and full, this is starting to get disjointed again, will have to continue another time. Night!
