Back from NYC

So, I have ventured to, and returned from New York City with my girlfriend. It was an awesome time. We had some great food including authentic Peking Duck at (I shit you not) New Big Wang Restaurant [images.google.com]. This isn't the stuff you get from your local Chinese delivery place; this is awesomely tasteful, freshly made, authentic rolls, Peking duck. We were still talking about this duck on the ride home the next day.
We also saw a performance of the Blue Man Group [blueman.com]. I have seen them before in Germany (in German), but my girl had not seen it, and I wanted to see it again. I was dissapointed at the size of the theater. It could only hold about 300 people maximum, and the rows were only about 16 people wide. The stage was also very limited in size. They defidently filled the room with the performance though. It was an awesome show.
We stayed the night at a hostle. That was... Interesting. It really had the bare minimums. The room had a bed, cieling light, and TV. We shared two bathrooms with the floor. It was good though, we didn't spend that much time in the room.
I would put a picture with this, but most of the fun was just the experience.

Audioslave, and more

Let the fun times roll! Wednesday, the 26th of October, I took Nicole to the Audioslave concert at the Patriot Center. The show was awesome. They did several Rage covers. I took a few pictures. Again, awesome.
Friday (the 28th) I showed a designer from Barbizon Lighting (a Kevin Shortall) Dewberry Hall, which I'm helping the project to get perminant lighting installed. His rough estimate at the time was $35 to $50 thousand using some existing stuff, and $75 thousand to do a full replacement (which is sugested). Earlier this week I sent some information about the same project to a representative from BMI to see what he gives me.
Finally, Sunday (the 30th) I took Nicole to Front Royal to see her family. They are all real nice, and they fed us breakfast (at about noon). We then carved pumpkins. I made an EP logo in my pumpkin. My work is my life. Haloween was remarkably uneventful. This weekend I look forward to a large amound of work so that next weekend I can go to New York! So excited!
