You know you wanna go to NY with me...
Ok, so yeah this is going to be a public post. It's my first in forever, but don't think I'm going to make a habit out of it...
Anyway, going to New York in August made me realize just how much I missed that city. I honestly do love it and have thought about living there before...I don't know if I'd be able to cut it there, but I'd sure as hell like to try sometime.
In high school I used to get there once a year, which was fantastic. I knew I had been going through a bit of NY withdrawal since, but I didn't really let it get to me. But then I was reminded of what I was missing and I REALLY want to go back. lynchmob and I were talking the other day about how there's just this energy in the city...I don't know that I've seen that anywhere else.
But getting to the point, I did have one idea of how I could get back there, I just didn't want to get my hopes up until I saw if it could work or not. The good news is that it just might. There's a bus that runs from IUP to New York and if I wanted to wait in line for tickets for a show, it'll allow for that as well because it's a much longer trip than most other buses take.
This is the information I have so far:

SO the main reason I'm posting all of this is that New York is so much fun when you're hanging out with someone. This bus trip runs on Saturday, November 11th and Saturday, December 2nd. Is there anyone, anyone at all who would like to go with me? Ideally I'd like Kait to go, but you'd have to get out here...I know you have a car now, but that'd be a lot of driving and stuff for you? Also, Liz, we've been talking about hanging out more and I know you love NYC about as much as I do. Would you want to do something this? Or anyone else, too!
I mean there's soo much to do there...shopping, fantastic restaurants, shows to see (although I'll probably want to see The Wedding Singer again...well, yeah...that's just about a definite. I'd go to Les Mis but I doubt I could afford tickets) Hmmm...leaving at 10 pm...that probably wouldn't allow time for a night show too...damnit. Just a matinee I guess. But there's so much more to do too...museums, anything and everything you could want.
So yeah guys, let me know. I got really excited when I heard about this bus trip because it really could work. And I'd absolutely love to go. But it'd be a lot more fun with you guys!!!
