Whirlwind Tour of Manhattan
After clearing my desk on Friday I thought it was time to leave the city, if only for 24 hours, so I headed up to NYC to do a drive-by of all the holiday decor and madness, then to Blowoff that evening. But I was so worn out from the trip and tour I left before Cyndi Lauper stopped by for a visit. At least I got to see Eric before I left somewhere after 1am or so.Stephen gave me a nice walkabout of midtown Manhattan, including Grand Central Station:
I looked up at one point as the sun was setting and there was the Empire State Building:
Stephen and Rex had some holiday shopping to do, but I was not able to find holiday designer Command Strips to help them solve their mantle/stocking issue:
We weren't in Rockefeller Plaza for long, and I was unwilling to fight the crowd to get any closer than this:
It was a fun trip but man, I am beat.

Maybe next year you can also do Night of a 1000 Stevies. (Speaking of which, apparently, they'll be announcing 08's date shortly after New Year's Day)
Hello Mr Jimbo. Very nice pictures of NYC. I have only been there once long time ago. Love your blog. Happy Holidays.
Now I’ve got “I'll Take Manhattan” stuck in my head….
Cyndi Fuckin Lauper was at Blowoff? Cool.
Hi, Jimbo.
Nice meeting you Sat night.
The beard/moustache looks very fetching.
Yes, Cyndi Fuckin' Lauper was there and I missed it.
I can't believe I lived in Princeton, New Jersey for seven years without ever once setting food inside Grand Central Station. Lame.
However, my boyfriend and I did once spend a really wonderful afternoon of romantic NYC Christmas vignettes that culminated with smooches under the Rockefeller Center tree.
He dumped me three weeks later, but I still have fond memories of the tree.
