here's the other things i did besides nyc. saw yankees lose to red sox at fenway. great game. great weather. fenway is a way better stadium. sorry. but if you're ever in the area i highly suggest going to maine and new hampshire. the franconia notch state park in new hampshire has some beautiful sites. my son starts junior high school on monday. uggggggghhhh
i'm back. wow. i had a really good time in new york. i took my mom for 3 days for her 50th bday. we arrived monday at penn station early afternoon. walked to hotel. went to e.s.b. (was with mom it was toursisty time) empire was funny though cuz i made a lil mastercard statement. tickets for 2 to e.s.b 40 dollars, number of floors to get to observatory deck 86, wait time to get to said deck 120 minutes, watching a girls dress fly up from the wind on top of e.s.b. priceless. anyways that was alright. had reservations made at becco, small nice italian place. dinner was amazing. over 100 italian wines only 25 bucks each. took a cab through times square at night, neat. next day started at st pat's cathedral. walking down 5th to hit up shops. had to see f.a.o. schwartz. people were playing chopsticks on the piano! there's a line to get into the apple store. i laughed at that. then went to the met cuz musuem of modern art isn't open on tue. the met was amazing. we spent close to 4 hours there. it got to the point where i was just snapping shots to look at things later because i wanted to see each room, i think i did. amazing. so much great work was there. after that met up w/ a friend and he took us to mcsorley's the oldest pub in nyc. they only serve light or dark beer. it comes in 6 ounce pub glasses. when you order a beer you get like 2 or 3 of these 6 oz beers. so ordering a round for a table 5 or 6 people, a dublin born mick waltzes out with like 20 baby beers in his hands. i got drunk. for an appetizer, they bring you american cheese, onions, a package of saltines and there's a horseradish mustard. pretty fucking good stuff. we did a lil more bar hopping then went to bobby flay's restaurant. i was lil drunk at that point and prolly didn't need to be going to a place owned by a guy i don't care for much. it was okay, as we had just got my drinks my friend mentioned he knew where mario batoli's place was and wish i had gone there. but again it was okay. i was prolly a lil loud and obnoxious there but fuck it. last day there took the subway into the bronx. had faboulous seats at yankee stadium. watched the moose pitch one of the better games he's had all season. it was a great time. but now you're in fenway and it's on! i'm going to sunday's game at fenway park, that will be one of the best times of my life. the pic of e.s.b i left up here is from the roof top bar of my hotel. it was a quaint lil scenester place playing beirut and what have you. but when you look up e.s.b was right there. my mom had a good time. so did i. i think for only 3 days we accomplished a pretty good amount. would've liked to have done more but fuck all that walking was getting to me. and the humidity. gosh. anyways if you're still reading, i love you
yo skyler i'll be in boston area for 2 weeks july 15th to 30th. are there any good shows coming you know about? do you want to do a drunken freedom trail afternoon? are you even still around boston? is there something coming up in that time frame i should keep in mind to do or see? can you get me red sox tickets cheaper than stubhub particulary when the yankees are in town? yeah that last one is a stretch but asking never hurt anyone. are you still like 19 or are you of age yet?
so i wanted a blu ray player for my new t.v. so i bought the playstation 3 metal gear bundle. why not right, it's the same cost as a blu ray player might as well get some gaming out of it. so then i started playing metal gear. the movies are so long and boring, but the graphics and game play is top notch. so i beat it. so i started playing metal gear online. now i have a new friend on my list of addictions. i really only wanted the thing for the new street fighter, final fantasy and tekken due out early next year. but shooting people online is kinda exciting. and blu ray movies are the shit. and i saw wall e. it was awesome. i wish i had gone stoned. and the new hulk is good. and i'm excited for dark knight. and i go on vacation in 2 weeks for 2 weeks. yippee
