Pro: I've met so many really awesome, nice, and fun people.
Con: I've also encountered too many ridiculous, terrible, need to be punched in the face right now people.
Turns out living in the heart of New York is only cool for about two weeks. Way too many fanny pack wearing, lost, sky gawkers for my liking. So I continue to wander to Brooklyn quite frequently! I even thought it would be a good idea to walk there one day in search of the perfect quaint coffee shop to try something new or unusual. Two and a half hours, sixty something blocks, and a bridge later I was way to parched to do anything but rush into the first cafe I saw and order the largest plain iced coffee they had. I guess it would've been worth it to pay the $2.50 subway fee...oh well.
Again in Brooklyn, we attended TropFest, The worlds largest short film festival! Food Trucks, live performances, a crowd of 50,000+, and extremely entertaining short films. I even attached two of my favorite finalists for you to watch. The first wins in my book because Morgan and I live that film every time we try to go get food.
Turns out the best and most cost effective way to party in NYC is to befriend promoters. The unfair line cuts, $450 bottles of vodka, and sparkler bottle dances that encompass this nightlife scene all seem a bit ridiculous to me but ya can't pass up free drinks in a city that charges $10 for a vodka cranberry!
I have been assigned a market research project at work so that's going great, really stepping up my PowerPoint game. And since deciding to head in a more philanthropy based fashion direction, I have discovered so many great companies that do awesome things for the world so I started another blog for that and recently a pinterest! But I have no friends on there so if your feeling cool and want to help me feel less lame I added the link below and you can follow that page!
Oh and I'm 99% sure the Asian lady in the Kiss and Fly photo is a ghost...
Still looks like you are having a great experience even though the people are annoying you (that's not new)! The films are fun-Me & Alex were cracking up at the second one! Tried the pinterest link but it won't connect-check it out! Love & miss you! Mom
