Highlights from our trip to New York City:
1. Seeing Lutz from the show "30 Rock". He was walking down the street towards us, I recognized him just as he was going into his bank. Jeff was like, "hey", i was like, " can we get our picture with you??" as he shuts the door in my face. He totally ignored us! Not to give up; I wanted to take a picture of him filling out his deposit slip, but thought that might be illegal or something, so we just moved on. It was exciting none the less. my goal for the trip was to see someone from "30 Rock", it just so happened to be my least favorite character... beggars can't be choosers!
at the infamous ice rink at Rockefeller Center
2. Jimmy Fallon Show. The only recognizable guest was Alicia Silverstone (from the movie "Clueless"! lol). Jimmy was goofy to see in person, as you might imagine. He seems like a normal guy that you'd want to hang out with. We didn't hang out with him, but Jeff DID get a high five! We were able to sit in the third row, and had our 2 seconds of fame during a shot of the audience!! here's us on TV:
3. just seeing things that you see on TV or movies was really exciting to me. i guess i am easy to please!
for dad:
you can't really tell, but below I am trying to smile like Kenneth from 30 Rock. i am such a dork; the morning of our NYC trip, i practiced my "Kenneth smile" in the mirror.
4. Going to a Broadway show. We got discount tickets the day-of and saw the musical, "Next to Normal". We both enjoyed the performance, amazing talent, but the story line was depressing. we sat next to an older couple from Jersey, and i was envious to hear that they frequently go to shows. That would be so fun to live close enough to do!
While riding the subway a few times, i noticed that most people either had their music or some reading material with them. It seemed to be an unspoken rule that I didn't know. I didn't have anything to read, so I just made awkward eye contact with people.
What draws me back to NY the most is the thought of going to another broadway show. The city itself was amazing to see, and i am pretty sure that we saw a lot: Chinatown, Little Italy, Statue of Liberty, SOHO(super trendy hipster area), Times Square, Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Wall Street, the Financial District and those already mentioned. It's a pretty magical place.
I wish i could live in all the different places in the world, just for a bit. i am content to just visit them, for now.
