New York

Ok, so I have been really really bad about blogging. Which is sad because it is something I love to do.

My blogging habits have to change though because I am now in the same office as my boss and he is directly to my left all the time. Except when he is not here. Like now.

So let me get this in before he gets back...

About 8 days ago I got back from my 4 day long trip to New York city. It was a blast. I was there for the Del Close Marathon (an 72 hour improv marathon) hosted by the famous Upright Citizens Brigade theater.

Mostly I watched improv while I was there but every now and then I would get the chance to venture around the city. The one place I had to go was...

Ever since I was around 12 years old I was a huge fan of David Letterman. During the summers I would stay up super late (for me) and watch Carson and Letterman. Once he switched to CBS and came on earlier I would sneakily stay up late on school nights and watch. I think he might be my absolute favorite TV/Movie personality.

Of course I also had to go by Rupert G's Hello Deli!

It was closed. But it still delighted me.

There was an older couple snapping pictures of the theater and Deli at the same time I was, and we got to talking about how exciting it was. The conversation lead to how much Jay Leno annoyed us. It was great to have Allies in the Late Night war.

I rarely bring up controversial subjects on my blog, but I think I believe more than anything that Letterman is a million times funnier than Leno. Leno is stilted and lacks the personality and wit that Letterman naturally possesses. That's my 2 cents.

My friend George and I went to Carnegie Deli and challenged each other to an eat-off. The Sandwiches there are HUGE. We both got the Reuben which basically covers a large plate.

George won... and also lost.


At F.A.O Schwartz I saw the big piano from the movie BIG. These two enthusiastic employees began doing the routine from Big, but then jazzed it up with some really complex dance movies. It was radical.

Overall it was a super exciting weekend. But ultimately made me love Chicago even more. New York is fun but after four days it wears you out. I think Jorin feels the same way.
