Somewhere on I-95 south, in Connecticut?
Soooo tired. I've been up since 4:30 AM since our bus left at 7. Rather, was suppossed to leave at 7. They overbooked the bus, and we ended up leaving on another one at 7:30 (ish?). It actually worked out better because we were the third and fourth people to board the new bus, so we got prime seats. Score. This bus is literally half empty.
It's nice and sunny, here in Connecticut. It was nasty and cloudy and Boston for a few days, I'm glad we're finally getting out of it. You know the wooden/concrete sound barrier fences they have set up on the sides of highways in some places? In Connecticut, the wooden ones have access doors in them, and the doors are labeled with the streets they come out on. That struck me as so cool. I don't have the energy to explain the concept properly now, but maybe someone will know what I'm talking about and help me out.
I need to pee so bad but I don't want to use this sketchy 2x2 bathroom in the back of the bus. The bus driver stops at every single rest area, gets out and stretches, and leaves us all to rot and die in the bus. Hey, must be nice to use a rest stop bathroom instead of this port-a-potty on wheels. Fucker.
I really don't have a fucking clue where we are, other than somewhere on I-95 southbound in the Connecticut/NYC region. I've been looking for some kind of sign for the past five miles while I've been typing this. I'm so lost. (Two minutes later) Okay, we ARE in New York? I just saw a billboard for some radio station, "New York's classic dance mix." Okay, yes, and I just saw the New York Transit Authority building. I better pack this damned machine away and go take a piss before I ruin my bladder and am forced to wear Depends for the rest of my life.

12:52 PM - at the hotel, Edison NYC
Oh my god...this hotel is awful. To think it cost $200 a night! Everything is old as hell. The first time I came here, I got a room at Le Parker Meridien for $150 a night! Bitch bitch bitch. Oh well.
I need to find directions to the theater!
