Distance Traveled Today: 30
Distance Traveled So Far: 2790
Very fun Saturday. My friends Luci and Derek, from my World of Warcraft guild (that’s Ritual Noise on Proudmoore, if you must know), came down on the train from Connecticut and I met them at Grand Central. I’d met Luci (and her brother Dave, another guild mate) last year, but hadn’t had the opportunity of meeting Derek in person yet.
We had a lovely breakfast across 42nd Street from GCT and took a walk around Tudor City and the United Nations neighborhood. (We had all agreed that crowded Times Square could do without us that day.) [INSERT PHOTO]
After saying so long to them, I zoomed back uptown to my hotel, were I threw a couple of things in a bag and made my way down to Penn Station where I caught a New Jersey Transit train to New Brunswick, where my friend Amy is doing a play with Peter Scolari and a bunch of other talented people.
The play is The Fox on the Fairway, a new play by Ken Ludwig, the guy who had a hit with Lend Me A Tenor. Like Tenor, the new play is a farce, and it was delightful Amy romping around on stage. Amy is an amazing actress and it’s always great to get a chance to see her work.
Her performance schedule over the weekend is tiring (five shows between Friday and Sunday) so we shared a hotel room across the street from the theater so we had sort of a slumber party.
