jonesthecurl wrote:Ok, so to catch up a little on the Jones vacation - the kids were at camp horseriding, rockclimbing, fishing, a whole lot of other stuff (envious dad). So we did a mini-tour of the states.
To take the last first, we spent the last three nights in NYC, and on the Thursday Mrs Curl went into work while I spent a last day nosing.
Of course, I bought books and comics. One of the finest purchases was a volume of Dan Dare from the ancient Eagle comic, discounted to $9.
Our NYC hotel was in the Chelsea district, we were on the 21st floor and had the most stereotypical NYC view imaginable: on the roof across the street was a gaggle of watertowers that made you expect a knock-down drag-out fight involving DD or Spidey at any moment.
IN the middle distance was a a new skyscraper being constructed, and behind that probably NYC's two most famous buildings - the Empire State and the CHrysler.
We ate some excellent meals out - THai and Indian and Italian, and two excellent breakfasts in a nearby diner. ONly duff meal was the room service breakfast which we allowed ourselves on the last morning as the final luxury. You coulda played baseball with the poached eggs, and it took me over a minute to find the burnt sausage amongst the burnt homefries, because it was the size of a homefry: the smallest sausage in the universe.
We paid our first visit to the Metropolitan Museum, and I was cultured out after only about 5% of it. There will certainly be more visits. I was very proud of spotting that a portrait by John Singer Sergeant was by him just by the style, and sorry there weren't more. (I once went to an exhibition of his pencil drawings in London, he is vastly under-rated).
Also went into the NYC library for the first time, it is awe-inspiring. I got a list of exhibitions, lectures, etc held in various library locations, all of which are either already past, or happening while I'm busy. I shall try to keep an eye on what else they have in the future.
We went to a stand-up comedy show one evening, and I'm gonna sign up for some classes that they run there in the next few months when I work out exactly when I can spare the time.
We tried to get tickets for the free "Shakespeare in the Park", only to find that some of the people that'd been queuing since 8am failed to get in.
We went to the South East Seaport or whatever its called, very dissapointing, just a small and dull shopping mall really.
We walked through Chinatown and Little Italy, Chelsea and the East Village, and lots more.
WE walked our legs off. With only one subway trip and no other transport, we hit the Staten Island Ferry entrance and 93rd Street, as the Southern and Northern extremes, and the Chelsea piers & 1st avenue as the western and eastern extremes. Altogether I calculate we wlaked about 40 miles while we were there.

strike wolf wrote:No what we're saying is prevent a massive posting streak that would take on the form of what looks to be spamming.

I should be asleep. I'm the only one awake in the house. This is a rare occurrence.
