For those of your who were unaware, I made it to New York safe and sound. I was met in Manhattan by Jesse and Willie and greeted with hugs and a flask. We drank for a while, caught up and had a beautiful night all around. The following morning Willie showed me around the city. I met his boss and some coworkers, bought a copy of "A Heart-breaking Work of Staggering Genius" and a sweet bookstore, saw Jesse's work and sat in the park. Once Jesse got off, we went to the Hifi and for happy hour. We played pool with this guy (whose name I can no longer remember) who works for MTV and used to do something similar to what Willie does (from what I gathered) so they hit it off pretty well. We went home after a while Jesse went to bed but Willie and I went down to the Soft Spot and I got to meet some terribly sweet people (aka Rachel and Matt). I also met a lady whose name I don't remember but to whom I made a promise to start playing soccer with. We went to bed fairly late and then got up and went back to the same place for a Fourth of July bbq. After eating some delicious dogs and burgers we went to Ken's (Willie's boss) and watched the fireworks. We got to stand on the roof over the river so it was a damned near perfect sight. We talked to a few people from the neighboring roof (a couple cute girls and a very Ben Allen-esque guy) and then went to Marilyn and Cara's and got to meet those two cats and the man whose room I am taking as well. Finally , I went home fairly early with Jesse and got some much needed rest and started working in the morning.
