ROFLThing NYC: The Aftermath Sunday, Jan 25 2009
the internet 10:19 pm
Well, that was an adventure. It was my first time in New York; I didn’t do anything too touristy but I was not disappointed. There are diners, there are things open late at night, there are cheap food places open late at night, there are coffee shops where I can sit for four or five hours reading Sarah Vowell. The streets are on a grid. The subway system kind of makes sense.
I mean, seriously, where does that go wrong?
ROFLThing was good times. There is not much else to add, except that the afterparty took place in a loud club with annoying club music and REALLY FUCKING EXPENSIVE DRINKS so it was something of a let-down (especially after the initial, if brief, belief that drinks were free). It was also too loud for conversation, and I’m not much for dancing at the best of times–especially not when I am carrying my bag around because there is also a two dollar coat/bag check.
Still, a successful weekend all told. Good conversations, good speakers, good liveblogging. Hurray.
