to americans i will forever be known as the xx fangirl who was too cool to take off her sunglasses. my reluctance to do so was inspired by this young gentleman (video via bagnell):
in reality i was just off an overnight bus from toronto about 3 hours before and i was very clearly overtired. this was the 5th thing i had done since arriving in new york...
- Arrived in New York at 830 am and met up with my old friend Mark for breakfast. He had shaken Obama's hand at an event the night before and was very pleased that his last day in NYC was so meaningful - little did I know I was in for the same
- Got lost in SoLita trying to find my hotel. The taxi was not help I wound up at the SoHo Grand, where rooms cost $600 a night, received quite the mouthful from the concierge there who eventually let me use their internet to figure out where I was supposed to be. I carried my suitcase with 2 cameras and a laptop 6 blocks to the SoHo Solita. Upon my arrival the concierge Peter placed a dozen long stem roses into my blistered hands and showed me to my room.
- Showered.
- Walked to NYU to pick up my CMJ Badge and grab some free swag. On the way I bought a latte at a bookstore and the barista offered me some of her fresh homemade bread. I hadn't eaten since breakfast and scarfed it down in a ravenous feeding frenzy (think Ignatius Reilly selling weenies).
- On my way out of the building I was approached by the reporter from ABC. The rest is history
