Lindsey Conquers NYC

When I think of my trip to NYC I think of three things...

1. Food
All of our plans revolved around food.  I do have to say that I had the best food that I have ever had in my life while I was in New York.  They had everything from cupcakes, fortune cookies, sandwiches, and frozen hot chocolate all of which were as big as your face.  Come to think of it pretty much everything was as big as your face and tasted like it was made by the gods. 

Dylans Candy Bar did a good job putting me in a sugar coma

Michael & Siri took us to Serendipity for some huge frozen hot chocolate

2. Walking
Nicole and I walked everywhere.  We only managed to get lost a couple of times.  The first was when we ended up wandering around for about an hour because we couldn't find Siris apartment. After walking for quite a while we ended up calling Siri who told us to immediately turn around and head in the opposite direction that we were going.  She called back 15 minutes later, and thanks to me, we ended up being in the exact same spot we were in when she first called, don't ask me how. We couldn't stop laughing.  As it turns out our direction would have been right had we been on the other side of the subway.   It was funny because Nicole and I were both accusing the other of leading us in the wrong direction when in reality we were both wrong. 

The second was when we were trying to find the Seinfeld diner and accidentally got off in East Harlem and had scary men yelling at us. Our game plan was to stuff all our valuables in our bras and get the heck out of there. Luckily we finally made it to the Seinfeld diner....

When we weren't walking we were riding the subway.  I loved seeing all the talent (for the most part) perform.  It seemed as though everyone had thought of a different way to catch your attention.  I saw everything from a man playing what appeared to be a fishing pole in Chinatown to three homeboys doing all sorts of flips on the subway car, warranting dirty looks from sour faced women.  We did end up seeing some real shows...

Ellens Singing Diner best chicken pot pie EVER!

3. Acting Stupid
 This is one thing that Nicole and I are good at and we found lots of opportunities to do just that.

Nicole and I also took the train to Washington D.C.  and stayed in hostels for two days.  While I can't say that D.C. was one of my favorite places, they did have some pretty awesome museums to mess around in...

The Shawn Song and Cameroni.

Nicole and I didn't have any plans Friday night.  After realizing that we really don't have any friends, and the ones we do have don't answer our calls we decided to write a song to one of them because we are just that lame cool. This is what we came up with...

My only defense for that video is that it was late and we thought we were hilarious.   Let's just say we know how to entertain ourselves.   I am glad to say that we had a little bit more going on Saturday night.  Our friend Cameron was having another one of his concerts.  We always do our best to support him ever since he saved us from social suicide by being gracious enough to come play at our party in August after another artist bailed last minute.  I really cannot say enough good about Cam, he is such a sweetheart.

So when Cam asked us to invite as many people as we could to his show, we of course did.  Cam did amazing as usual.  We love Cam, he always makes a point to show us a little love during his shows usually with a wink and look or even getting right up to us and singing right at us during certain songs.   This time when he jumped off the stage he sang right to Nicole, and as for me he made sure to point to me when he sang "I hit ten for ten with you downtown."  This is particularly funny because earlier in the year I told him that I wanted him to make a shirt that said "I hit ten for ten with you downtown."  His response was "You would Lindsey."  Its not looking like he is ever going to let me live that one down.  Unfortunately, we didn't get Cams big bear hugs with a kiss on the head after the show, but we did get to chat with Cam's dad (Al) and step mom (Erika) for a bit. They filled us in on some exciting stuff that will be happening in the next couple of months.
