yeah it was pretty fun - we showed up in NYC, I pounded four beers and the other two did their thing and we all walked a few blocks to the show, waited in line for the better part of an hour
finally got in and grabbed a doubleshot of Jameson for $20 that was actually 4-5 shots
we saw three other bands before Les came out - first one was the best we thought
by the end of the night I'd had two more double shots - I made my way up to the front of the stage and partied there for a bit and then left early because it seemed like Les was kind of 'phoning it in' - it was the last show of the tour, so beforehand I figured it'd either be an amazing show or lackluster because they're tired and want to go home - seemed like kind of the latter - but not disappointing - it was cool to see Les again
I looked for my buddies and couldn't find them so I just walked back to the hotel alone, stopping along the way a few times to smoke a cigarette and soak up a little NYC - it was cool - there was so much fog you couldn't see the tops of the buildings, and then a giant rat crawled out of a garbage can behind a restaurant when I was walking by
I stopped at McDonalds on the way and got lost for a couple of minutes, finally got back to the hotel and tried my keycard on the wrong door (woops) before I found the right one, so I sat on the window sill munching fries and watching the traffic while Lethal Weapon 4 was playing in the background
my friends showed up about a half hour after I got to the hotel -- we were all pretty drunk
I woke up at about 4 am with a splitting headache but went back to sleep and we all got up around 9 and I felt fine - just hung out for a bit and had coffee, then headed home
bullshitted in the car - drove through the Catskills - all in I took over 1,000 pictures in the car, but barely any of them came out - too blurry even though I was using the fastest shutter speeds here and there
all in all good fun
