I'm heading up to New York City on the Oct 8th through 11th to meet with several people I have not seen in a long time (or at all).
I feel bad about springing for the trip just after getting my bank account cleared out by surgery, but Laurence, my entomologist friend from England, isn't going to be back in the states for another four years or so. I unburied all my nuts and I have a nice cushion. So I'm not going to be poor again any time soon. (Many thanks to the people who sent me freelance projects, money, etc, so I could save for surgery.) I've found ways to save money on the trip, too, like sharing a hostel room.
While I'm up there, Laurence and I are going to have an EPIC Pokemon battle at the Nintendo store. This is a battle four years in coming. I have been EV training my Pokemon in preparation. They're almost all maxed out on their stats, mid to upper level 30's.
So, what's awesome to do in NYC? I want to check out the orchids at the botanical gardens. What else?
