DAY 1 NYC

keepin ya updated on my journey and daily exeriences on the east coast

last night i boarded a plane to jfk

with screaming children in my ear and a smelly smelly teenage boy on my left we were off

during the 4.5 hour flight i was served, drum roll please....FREE salted peanuts

(not so good for blood sugar or water retention)

since i could't sleep because of the operatic child behind me

i decided to dig into my unnecessarily heavy carry on and attempt to get some work done

about and hour into it i started to feel my butt fall asleep which was prefered to the

extreme painful & very consistent pain in my right hamstring that was to follow

only 3 more hours to go!

SOMEHOW

during the flight i became the translator between the Japanese boy & "flight attendant"

thankfully i got a kick out of her frustration (mean i know)

of not understanding the fact that he DIDNT SPEAK ENGLISH

through all of that i got all the work done that i had brought with me!

that NEVER happens

anyway i made it.....and eventually unfolded myself, popped my hips and high fived the smelly japanese boy

I HAVE ARRIVED

found my bags rather quickly (also never happens) and made my way to ground transportation

a lovely gentle man names dmitri brown, of d.brownlimousines presented himself

$60 plus toll and tip to union square SOLD

with my bag in tow we exited the airport

wind blowing and a chill in the air i was ready,

ready for anything

(brass knuckles in hand)

the precoursor to the car was

"i just dropped off a large family upstairs,

so i have the limo tonight"

(also never happens...upgrade?)

dont know if he meant numerous people or never mind

my response....

"i'm not gonna argue with that!?"

THEN we rounded the corner

not ONLY was it a limo

but a WHITE STRETCH LIMO

i think i peed a little

chuckling away i apologized and explained

i am a avid blogger and NEED to document this

he offered to take a picture of me in front of the "situation at hand"

......and i told him i just wasnt that kinda girl.

while my ghetto iphone was cutting in and out i came to the conclusion that i would stop by Comix to see an old friend, WHILE waiting for Ryan, BEFORE we head out for a drink.....

i yelled the address to the front of the limo, and he responded on the loud speaker

so apparently he had been listening to my phone convos

and i just yelled in his ear

ry strolls in after the bar closes

we have an after hours drink

& we are ready to roll

EARLY NIGHT PLEASE

WE BOTH HAVE TO BE UP IN THE MORNING

(its already after 12)

Karibi, my bud and Comix GM

brings us to RDV around the corner

a party in the meat packing district

good scene, great music, fun crowd...we felt right at home

only ONE drunken girl dancing/swaying sans shoes

He introduces us to Silent Dan

kirillwashere.com

took some pics, drank some tequila

called it a night around 2am

AS WE SHARED A CAB OVER THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE

I NOTICED AN ADVERT FOR SKIN FRUIT

WHAT EXACTLY DOES SKIN FRUIT ENTAIL......

SOMEONE SHOULD TELL THEM THEY SPELLED IT WRONG

IT'S F*L*U*T*E

AS IT TURNS OUT IT IS A NEW EXHIBIT

Athens-based Dakis Joannou Collection, renowned as one of the leading collections of contemporary art in the world.
