New York - September 2010

On Thursday 17th, at around 1330 EST, I arrived in New York, and checked into my hotel room, on the 11th floor.

This hotel was the Wellington in Times Square.

 

Didn't do much that day as I was a bit warped.

Friday, the day of the Ween concert I took it upon myself to walk to my friend's house in Queens.

 

I thought I might be able to walk across the Queensboro Bridge, and save myself a swelter in the subway.

I was wrong.  Is just for cars.  Not peoples.

Eventually I ended up at my destination, got on the roof (as is my wont) and looked at the skyline.  It were baking hot.

On the walk to Central Park, I was accosted by the sight of this thing.  I have no idea what it is.

Then there was Ween.

My camera kind of let me down here.  If I had the flash on, I could get a mealy looking snap of the back of people's t-shirts, and if I went into night mode, I got the following effect.

Here's what I saw of Ween for the most of their 2.5 hour set.  Not because I was on drugs, but because I had a splitting sun headache.  Frigging New York with its good weather:

Part 2 of the travelogue coming soon.  See the next post for my favourite song of the night.
