hey there - so, i just got back from a "field trip" here at work... we went to the NY Television Festival --- to one of the panel discussions on branding and tv... now, not for nothing, i am not involved in the television biz... and from what i heard today (the sound/speaker system sucked) it was pretty damned interesting - maybe i should take a class to expand my knowledge...
so on monday i received an email from my college alumni thingamabob letting me know that there's a get-together tonight at the Heartland Brewery from 6-8pm...
am still debating on going... i most likely will... earlier today i was about to say hell no, based on the fact that when i boarded the train, the pen that i was wielding drew a big line across my right girl and i looked like an ass... so i went to Old Navy during lunch and picked up a sweater for $20...
oh, what the hell, i'll go to this thing - i have survivor, the apprentice, everybody hates chris and ER all simmering on my dvr, so all is well in the world.
so, it's basically all classes from the university of the arts that will be going --- whomever lives/works in nyc... so there's a good chance i won't know a soul --- the last one i went to a few years ago, there was one person from my year. none from my year and major. so i'll give it a go and stay for a bit i suppose.
what else? oh did i mention that i am performing at the NY Improv again on October 9th at 8pm? so, if you're in the vicinity, pop on in.
there was something else that i logged on here to say but for some reason my brain isn't clicking together...
ah - just clicked... i am toying with the idea of taking the bus from brick to NYC from now on, it's only $299/month rather than the $320/month on the train --- plus it's an hour and a half rather than 2 hours...
on the con side of it, it does have an 80% probability of getting stuck in traffic... on the pro side, the brick bus stop is less than a quarter mile from my house.
also on the con side is the port authority where it lets out in nyc is at 8th and 40th --- which is one block over and a few blocks up from work... (penn station is only a block from my building) on the pro side to that, i would be forced to walk, meaning exercise, meaning moving... on the con side to that, it's getting colder out. rainier. sleetier.
ah, well, i may test it out tomorrow and see how i fare.
