Well I went to New York over the Memorial Day Weekend.....
...and as my photo blog clearly tells, a picture truly is worth a thousand words..LOL!!
Unlike my trip to Atlanta, I actually arrived...ON TIME, I think it had alot to do with it being Northwest and not GhettoTran..lol. When I got there, I met Yolanda and we headed to the hotel to drop the bags off and then it was off to Brooklyn to meet up with the rest of the group. We were having drinks and dinner at Night of the Cookers in what I am told, is the better part of Brooklyn..hhmmmm....never did make it to the grimy parts though I am sure I will cause I will be going back...*wink*
Finally got a chance to meet Xquizzyt1, Cee, Will, Edwige, Slow Metamorphosis, and Danja...everyone was real cool.
X, and I are officially Patron Swiggin' Padnas as witnessed in the shot below.
I think I had like 3 shots and X may have had 4, it kinda got fuzzy after those 3 that I remember and a few Heinekins, but it was all a great time and we had so many laughs that it was well worth the fuzzy memories..LOL
I had to get a shot of this because me just telling you about it would NOT do it justice. Now apparently there are quite a few resturants in NYC that don't have house bands or house pianos because dude told me he had to lug this big mufuga around EVERYWHERE...in an old white van like Omar used to drive on The Wire..LOL
...*blink, blink*...
ROFLMAO!!! Now is it just me or is this a bit impractical...hhhmmm I think its a bit impractical!! How about buying a Keyboard?? Maybe he is going for that "authentic" sound...LOL. So when I told him I had to get a pic of a Black Man rolling an entire ORGAN out of the FRONT door of this place at like 2:00 in the morning and there were witnesses....none of which are even tempted to call the police...Only in New York, baby, Only in New York......
and you know he had his own speaker for that real good Old Southern Baptist church feel for certain songs..Lol.
Now you know we shut the bar down and they had to damn near put our asses out the joint. So we all get outside and are shooting the shit and decide to take some group pics, when all of a sudden I turn around and what do I see..??? ONE HUGE ASS PILE OF TRASH, A-LOOKIN' AT ME!!!!! LMBAO!! Now this too is the norm in New York because when this great city was built, nobody thought to put in any ALLEYS!! I understand that space is tight, but that shit was crazy to me..*shrug*
I won't speak on that too much cause it must be a New York thing...lol I just know CHICAGO has alleys and that may be why we don't have as bad a rodent problem as NYC...LOL Its said that there are just as many rats as there are people, and I can understand how that could be true..
Got a chance to hang out in Harlem and Manhattan too, I took tons of pics and will be updating the photo blog with more pics too. I just wanted to post something now, but I shall be back later cause the San Antonio and Phoenix game is about to start....
