returns & departures
Just heard on the news that Astroland is supposedly coming back again for at least one more year.
WOO-HOO!
Weirdest thing I've seen so far this morning: Walking by the W Hotel on Lex while heading down to 47th, as I pass the hotel I see a human form on the ground out of the corner of my eye, and assume it's a homeless person. As I turn to look, I realize it's a 40-ish woman sitting/laying on the ground, barefoot, wearing nothing at all but a white W Hotel bathrobe; and holding a lit cigarette and what looks like a martini. On the sidewalk. In front of the hotel. In the rain.
I love this town.
[ FYI: I'm gonna be upstate for about 12 hours on Thursday, starting around 8am. Internet incommunicado, but my cell phone will be on. You kids behave while I'm gone! And stay off the goddamn lawn. ]
