NYC & I, reunited.
Ah. Braid was so amazing.
However...
When we first got down to the city, we went straight to my mom's locker room and the security told us we weren't allowed in there (even though I've been going in there since I was 8 years old), which was a load of crap. Blah blah balh, we finally figured out what to do.
So it's about 5:30, the train got in at 4:40, and the show doesn't start until 9. Neither of us is hungry, so we go to H&M for a little shopping. Oh God is that place huge. I think it's something ridiculous, like four stories high of pure shopping goodness. We spent about an hour or so in there, and then at around 7 left to drop our shopping goodies off with the rest of our luggage.
Ended up in Chelsea before we knew it. We just kept walkng up 7th Ave. and as I turn my head, I realize I'm looking at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology <333), therefore realizing, we've been walking for a while.
Went to Bellanapoli for stromboli and pizza, and it was very yummy. I couldn't eat much though because I was so excitied/nervous about Braid. Which brings me back to the reason I created this post:
Arrival time at the Bowrey: 8:15. Walk over to the park until 8:30, when we can go in. Had to buy new tickets because the ticket box "lost them". Paid another $30 for the tickets.
SHOW EVENTS & COMMENTS//
Murder by death (9:00)- Better than I expected.
Minus the Bear (10:00)- Pretty good.
Met this guy from L.I. (10:45)- Name was Chris. Talked about his family.
BRAID (11:00)- FUCKING AMAZING.
You just had to be there for the experience. Seeing such a great band get back together was just a-m-a-z-i-n-g. I can't even explain it. It was something i'll never forget.
And I still haven't caught up on the sleep that I lost that night.
