When I was in fourth or fifth grade, we took a bus trip to NYC for school, for forgotton reasons.

I remember telling the kids on the bus about hookers, and explained they were nice looking women who are looking for boyfriends on the sidewalk.  So, as we pulled up at Rockefeller to get dropped off with our chaperones, we're all hanging out the windows taking pictures of "hookers" pointing and laughing at basically every woman on the sidewalk exclaiming "Theres one!  A hooker !  A hooker!"

Considering that the show itself would go nowhere if they didn't attend these conferences and engage in similar activities, I hardly think you could consider this a "vacation".  It's a business trip.  There are many jobs that require travel and this is one of them.

Anyone have any good NYC stories? I'll start with two, both of which involve semen.

You just got +1 before I even read the stories themselves

[Lindsey]

My only NYC story is pretty lame.  I was there both times to do a performance in Carnegie Hall.  I walked through a crowd of pot smoke with my chaperone, and she said "What's that smell?"  The fun part was having to explain it.

Nice hotel suites, all expenses paid by AMPlifiers!  They talk about it several times each podcast!

They deserve much more.

I hated New York.  I really don't see the appeal that makes all those people go into a fanfare about it.

[Lindsey]

I loved being there.  There were people, places to go, things to see.  It's not like here...where everyone is 80 and has a cane or a walker.  Plus, I love performances and shows, so not having to drive hours and hours to see something was cool, and most everything needed is within walking distance (in Manhattan, at least).  If I could ever afford it, I'd move somewhere outside of Manhattan, and just go to the clusterfuck when I wanted to.

From what I can tell, NY is a shithole, but some people do vacation there...

[error]

New York is a shithole. Move to New Hampshire.

[dalebert]

NYC?!! ...Get a rope.

OK, SOMEONE had to make that joke.
 

[Lindsey]

There's always somebody who thinks that where they live is a shithole.  There are lots of people who think major metropolis-type cities are shitholes.  Everybody has different tastes.  Personally, if I'm going to pay out the ass for living expenses, I'd like to live somewhere I think is cool.  Not somewhere that my peers think I should.  Fuck that.

And a helmet with your bicycle, unless you want to pay the 75 dollar ticket. Oh, and whatever you do.. don't feed the pigeons; other birds are ok, but not the pigeons.

*Ahem*

*Cue the English accent*

That's not how the pigeons do it!  You're supposed to stamp on her head and peck her!

**This will only make sense if you've had the fortune to view the cinematic masterpiece that is Drop Dead Fred.

I was trying to figure out what to watch tonight during our pizza & movie evening... that wasn't disney, pixar, etc... Haven't seen Drop Dead Fred in a couple of years.  Thank you Lindsey, for the inspiration.

I'll watch Hudson Hawk next week.

[Lindsey]

Haha.  You're welcome, Joy.  I love that movie.
