So last Friday, I had the pleasure of going to New York for the first time aaaannnnddd
meeting Sextonseven in person and I just feel like telling you guys how great it was

First off the bus I took got me there about 1 and a half hours earlier than I expected, so
I wandered around a bit waiting for Sean...In this breif time I got lost in a huge-ass Kmart
and nearly trampled in the out-of-control Macy's. So I just decided it was safer to hide out
in Border's Bookstore.

At about 5:30pm I meet up with Sean....He's extremely nice, easy-going, good looking,
smart, and kinda soft spoken. I'll admit that at first I felt a bit uncomfortably shy around him
because between his mannerisms, style, and personality he seemed too cool to be
hanging with a dork like me but he is so kind, I got over that He deserves
all the love he gets around here cause he's just all around terrific
...but thats enough gushing

We rode the subway back to his place and I got to act like a kid in a candy
store going through his music collection, picking out stuff for us to listen to.

Time flew and before I knew it it was time to check out The Virgins at the Bowery Ballroom.
Very cool show, nice sized crowd, and the band was really high energy and fun. The
only downside was the out-of-control coatcheck line! yikes!

Next we went to the East Village at about 12 or 1 am I guess to eat at Yaffa Cafe.
The theme of this place was unclear, and the music choices didn't seem to belong either,
but the vegetable curry gets 2 thumbs up from me!

After when we got back to his place, and even though it's getting late he agrees to watch
an episode of Heroes with me ..... My head finally hits the pillow at 3:45am

I slept really well for like 4 solid hours, but of course 7:33am rolls around and I was sitting up
wide awake like a complete loser so I just read and whatever about 10am Then when
he got up we watched some more Heroes! (hey, I had no idea it was such a good show)

Then we headed out for breakfast at a diner, and then took the subway back into
Manhattan so I could be a nerdy tourist
Saw Rockafeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Times Square, The Virgin Megastore,
lots of theaters, shops, people on the street, broke down Santa Clauses, all kinds of
stuff!!

It was really fun wandering around with him, but alas the evening began to roll
around and my bus was scheduled to leave at 5:15pm, so we headed back to Penn
Station
I had alot of fun and I hope Sean sort of did too This was one of my better
weekends of the year




....sorry this post is so long, I tried to be as brief as possible, but I'm basing this off a 7 page
journal entry, so it's tough okay!

...There are a few pictures I took with a stupid disposable camera but I haven't had the time to develop them yet...

YAY!!!!!

Sounds like a wonderful time!

I had the pleasure of meeting him earlier this year and I agree, he's just a doll. Cute and great style and nice and everything.

Glad you guys had such fun.

thekidsgirl said:

hopefully we get to see some pictures soon!

veronikka said:

They're probably crap! I suck at taking pictures

I love org travel stories.

thekidsgirl, I'd never checked the location listed in your profile. Somehow, you always gave me a New York air. (Though I have no idea quite what that means.) I assumed you already were there. I trust you fit in quite well there.

Sounds like a wonderful time!!!

It's always great to meet orgers. I can't wait for pix!!

Serious said:

what did he say?

JessieJ said:

hells yeah!

thekidsgirl said:

Well, it ain't a pansy town, that's for sure! My nerdy butt once asked a Baltimore cop how to get to Edgar Allan Poe's house at like 12:30 a.m. He scanned the trash-strewn street and the group of hardcore bruhs gathered at every corner, then looked at me like I had "death wish" stamped on my forehead.

Lammastide said:

Ahhhm that sounds like home

thekidsgirl said:

Nothing but nice things of course . Don't you trust him?
He told me all of what you did in an a bit more stripped down version, but I don't think he forgot anything, he even mentioned the coats too . He couldn't believe how little sleep you need and he told me you are very tall and extremely nice and polite.

thekidsgirl said:

Being a tourist. It was a fun long weekend with Anxy and his bf (who is one of my bff's).

Serious said:

everytime someone reminds me of this I feel like a friggin mutant
I cringe everytime I hear 'wow, you're so tall!'

CarrieMpls said:

That sounds like a fun trip too!
