It's a Beautiful Day in New York
Sunny and 68 degrees. See?
The weekend was pretty cool too. Although the weather wasn't quite as nice as today's, we still got a lot done.
I found a great shoe at NextFest:
I always wondered what happens when you shove a Gameboy into a pair of Candies. As soon as they make another one, I'll be the first in line for my own pair progressive platforms. (It's where the "plat" comes from, you know.)
We also went to Toys "R" Us. ARRRRRRRRRRRR! ...Backwards! That's actually an indoor ferris wheel behind us, but there were no pirates on it as far as I could tell.
And I got a good shot of the biggest booger in board games, Plumpy from Candyland:
Did I mention I'm a fucking tourist? I thought I'd stop all foot traffic on my block of Times Square to take this amateur, poorly lit photo. I'm awesome!
We joined some other tourists at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum (but not as many as we thought we would, which is a good thing). Gus liked this plane:
We went inside this plane:
We thought it would be cooler than it was.
And of course, no loosely thrown together photo blog post of mine would be complete without a dead bird.
We found this one in the train tracks as we departed Paoli, Pennsylvania a couple weeks ago. Besides the new BlackBerry Pearl (slick!), it was probably the most interesting thing we saw in Paoli. What the hell were we doing in Paoli? Meeting some intersting people at the annual Boathouse Bash. I drank my first shot of SoCo since high school and remembered all over again why I'll go at least another 10 years without touching the stuff. Bleh!
