Manhattan Day 2.5
The plan was to meet up at 3:30 to stand in line to see the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I got there first and there was probably 50 people in line. We had email confirmation for the show but no tickets so we all basically stood in line until they're ready and they hand out tickets IF your name in on their email list and IF you're the first 250 in line. After an hour and a half standing in line we got our tickets.
Then we sat in the studio for another 30 minutes and then we had to practice cheering REALLY loud. Then the show happened and it was basically like watching what they put out on tv right in front of you. Really fast, quick, and mechanical. Jon said hi and answered 2 questions before it all began but when they broke for commercial breaks he basically sat and did nothing til it all started up again. He did the show, thanked the audience and left. It was very quick for all the time we spent waiting to get in. Oh well.
Nathan picked dinner at VNYL which was pretty good. I'm letting him choose food from now on because everything I pick seems to suck. We arrived back at the hotel about 9pm so I could take a shower. I had been walking since we left the hotel at 9:30 earlier in the morning so I was SO hot and sweaty. Like a sponge. I don't think I've ever done so much walking but the streets are so close it seems a waste to head to the subway because I can get places faster walking. But by the end of the day I easily clocked more than 5 miles. I know, I know, not soooo far but my poor feet were yelling since I'm use to a desk job.
Speaking of heat, man do I feel inadequate walking the streets of New York. All the women look perfect. Perfect hair, perfect outfits with perfect jewelry and belts and purses and shoes that all match. I'm convinced they all have built in AC in their clothes because they look so cool and stylish walking purposefully down the street. Whereas I catch a glimpse of myself in a window lugging a backpack wearing walking shoes, my hair pulled back in a ponytail because it's so freakin' hot and every pore in my body not perspiring...SWEATING!!! It's disgusting hot. How do they do it? I told Nathan if I didn't have to worry about all the stares and people pointing I'd walk around naked. Luckily, he heard Wednesdays in New York are nude days so I'm really looking forward to that!
After my shower we headed out one last time for a 10:30 showing of Pirates of the Caribbean at the Zeigfeld Theater. Beautiful huge old theater (only one screen!) and we were about 25 total and we thought it would be packed. Then it was a quick walk back to the hotel at 1:15am to hit the pillows. There were still lots of people out and it was VERY warm when we walked back. When do these people sleep?
