went to new york for the weekend with jack, glen and katie. i love it there and cannot wait to get out of the burg... although the burg has plenty of crazies, new york always tops them.
top 3:
1. as i was getting off the subway, a man holding a child's plastic suitcase shouted "MAGAZINE!!!" at me. i wasn't sure what this meant, so i turned around. he was just smiling and waving at me.
2. some man shouted "hey" at katie. she looked at him. he asked, "do you have a towel?" ..."a what?" "a TOWEL" and started rubbing his own arm.
3. as i was going down the subway steps, a man asked me to be his girlfriend. he was very determined and tried following me but didn't have a subway card.
the man that asked me what shampoo i use gets an honorable mention.
this was probably my favorite new york trip so far because we were on absolutely no schedule. our group split up a lot to meet other friends or do something different. glen wasn't around much because he was visiting lost colony buddies at wagner on staten island. one morning when we were walking around central park, he kept calling us but when we called back it went straight to voicemail.
we came to the conclusion that his phone was dying and he was trying really hard to get a hold of us. finally, we got to talk to him. he only had enough battery left to spit out "I'M AT A STARBUCKS!". probably the most vague clue you could ever give in the big apple.
i never saw him again, but i'm sure he's fine.
