Bright Lights Big City on a Friday Night

We have finally arrived in New York City! Is this the biggest and busiest city on the planet or what? I mean we came in through the Lincoln Tunnel and we had to get to forty fifth street as that is where we are staying. We had to cut up 42nd street and holy shit there are people everywhere. I guess the fact that all the Broadway shows are getting out and we are two blocks from Times Square really doesn’t help anything. One question I have about New York though is what the hell is with all the goddamn honking. Its pretty amusing though at times especially when you are stuck at a red light and people are honking their horns for you to get going. I think it’s just a big game but I’m not sure. I don’t think I could handle driving in this city all the time. Its fuckin’ nuts! Especially those Cab Drivers.

We are staying at The Alex Hotel and we wheel in there and this place is real quality. A nice modern hotel and the location is perfect. The view we had was unbelievable, we opened up the blinds and all you see is the Empire State Building. Simply an awesome site. We are walking distance to Times Square and there are a ton of restaurants, bars, and pubs all over the place. That’s what I’m talking about. We check into our hotel room and unload our gear and its time for us to get ready to grab some food and a couple of drinks.


"Here's a shot of our living room in The Alex, Not Too Brad!"

We went to this irish pub and we had a few beers. This crazy drunk guy and his date strolled in and were seated at the table right beside us. What a character this cat was. I’m not sure what it is about us but for some reason every time we go somewhere we always locate these crazy people. This guy was so lit that he was all over the map, he was stumbling all over the bar.

He was sooo hungry that he ordered so much food and all I could think is when is this chief gonna unload all of it. The best thing was when he was eating his chicken wings. I think he got more on his face than he did in his mouth. I couldn’t stop looking over and laughing at the situation at hand. It looked like he just stuck his face in the middle of the plate and was playing the game bobbing for Chicken Wings. The poor girl he was with, I mean could you imagine being out in public with this guy or even trying to have a conversation when the guy has wing sauce and pieces of chicken stuck all over his face. Definitely a funny site, plus the fact that he was talking nonsense and you couldn’t understand a word he would say since he was so gunned. Very amusing and another encounter for the crew to get a good laugh at.

We stayed at this place for a couple of hours and it was time for some much needed rest. We got back to the room and I was desperately trying to have a Poker Party on Partypoker (Bonus Code 25BR on Party Poker) but the goddamn internet connection in the room would not work. That’s the worst. All I wanted to do was play a couple of SNG’s and keep on building the kid’s bankroll. So this didn’t work and it was time to shut er down and get ready for tomorrow.
