The city so nice...
I've visited it twice in less than a year...
So, I'm in New York right now. I'm here overseeing a few "Reality Remix" shoots.
I just got back from the Ed Sulllivan Theater, which tonight was home to the "Survivor" finale. Aras won! YAY! He was my pick on the Fantasy Reality Challenge game on the Fox Reality website.
That's the first time in a long, long while that I've picked out the winner from the beginning. Thank you, Aras! Thank you tribal council jury!
Have had a little free time to explore the city a bit more than my last trip. I think it also helps that it's not freezing like it was during my last visit in December.
I've had some time to catch up with old friends like Sam, Jon L., Jon C., Mike, and Ryan...and make some new ones in the process - hey, Rob! ;-)
Even had some time to finally see a show while out here. I checked out "Lestat," the new musical by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. It not the disaster that many critics have made it out to be. That being said, the show is unfortunately underwhelming. While the peformances by the actors were great, the show felt episodic and the jumps in time were a bit far apart. There were a couple of numbers which I really liked namely "Right Before My Eyes" and "The Crimson Kiss." But then you also have numbers like "I Want More" which felt like a reworked version of Veruca Salt's "I Want it Now" from "Willy Wonka." I'd give it a C+. To those who have seen it, was I hallucinating or did I hear echoes of Elton John's "Whispers" (from the "Sleeping in the Past" album) in one of Nicholas's violin solos?
Overall, it's been quite an enjoyable and productive trip. Ahh, the joys of bicoastal networking...This weekend here has made me want to visit here again very soon. However, I still don't think I could ever live out here...even if the eye candy quotient for me here is a bit higher than it is in L.A. Not sure if it's because I'm so jaded with the dating scene in L.A., but I've noticed more guys who are my "type" (at least from a looks and style standpoint) out here than on the West Coast. How about a little exporting program, NYC? :-)
Well, off to bed...a morning shoot beckons tomorrow...

If you're still there on Wednesday you should go to the TelevisionWithoutPity.com Amazing Race finale party. My friend Kathryn will be there, and says it is always very fun. :) They call it TARcon, followed the next day by DimSumCon :)
