a pleasant tomorrow: we went, we saw, we conquered

So Court and I (Brooklyn - RIP jk) finally made it to the Big Apple. It started out a bit rough, with a snoby little man denying us a place to sleep - but we are strong women who handled it with great dignity - ok I cried - but we found another place and all was well with the world. I also made the mistake of wearing my Rainbow sandals as we ran around the city streets with our luggage and weather that made you sweat in places you didn't know that you could sweat in (I know I know you have sweat glands all over - don't get scientific with me - it was hot and humid!). So basically I gave myself deep Indian burns (is that racists?) and open flesh wounds on my poor little feetsies and had to hobble around for the rest of our days. But it was all made right by the city herself - I don't understand how people can afford to live there but one day I will find a way. Most people go there for dreams and with exact objectives in their minds - I just want to live there - I am just a sucker for a city that is that vibrant and undeniably cool. So we saw the great Patti Lupone in Gypsy - it was a great play - but in the last twenty minutes it became the greatest thing ever in my whole life - if I could do even a smidgin of what she did I would be on Broadway in an instant. We also saw Spamalot and a new musical called [Title of Show] - both kept us laughing the whole time - you must look into the second - its so worth the viewing. Lastly we saw the longest running show - that's right Phantom of the Opera on Broadway - I know I did not appreciate it as much as Courtney, but I appreciated it as much as my little unknowledgeable heart could - and crazy Meg could not even ruin it. We went on a ferry and saw so much and walked and walked and walked to see as much as we could, but of course need at least another trip to get it all in - But we did go into Mood and buy buttons (if you don't know what I am talking about you need to get on the bus! The PR Bus that is). So here's a list and some pictures...
