Got a call from Derek while I was on my way to the airport it went something like this:
D: Hiya.
M: Hey what's up?
D: Do remember how fun living in NY was?
M: Shit, what happened?
D: You're gonna LOVE this.
M: THey struck...
D: hehehe. Lemme tell ya, not only is the whole transit system on strike, but you can't drive into the city from 5am to 11am unless you have 4 or more people in the car.
M: WHAT?!? The city is on driving curfew? Is that legal?
D: IIIIIIIII LOVE Newww Yorrrk! We may not be able to go to the show tomorrow. [ed. I bought tix to go see the Color Purple].
M: But the show is not til 2pm...
D: But if the cast takes the train they won't be able to get in, they won't be able to take cabs from outside the city until 11am...We'll have to call the theatre in the morning to make sure the show is gonna go on.
M: Nice.
D: Aren't ya happy to be coming home?
M: Ferreal.
D: Okay, well I love ya and I'll see ya at the airport tonight.
M: Unless the traffic controls strike and we have to circle round to another airport. What schmucks. Alright listen I'll see ya tonight. I'll call you if I'm delayed.
D: Just make sure it's not between 5am and 11am...
THis should be an interesting trip.
