NYC: Halloween Dog Parade

What if Quiggly was in the NYC Halloween Dog Parade? She hates other dogs - I was thinking we could dress her up as a female vampire - she'd have real life blood sucking tactics and she has the ears of Batty! Anyone got any ideas?

Even if Quiggly doesn't do the NYC Halloween Dog Parade - she is still getting a costume for Halloween. What would be a fun and appropriate costume? Please leave comments.

"The Famous Met" - The Great Gatsby - 1920's College Party @ The Metropolitan Museum
FREE. FREE. FREE. FREE. FREE. FREE.

Last night Jess, Brennan, Brennan's actor friends and I all went to this insane event at the Met. It was for college students only and everyone dressed up like they were in the 1920's. There were drinks & crumpets & live music on a piano & bass & dancing and all of it was located in this huge room with a long pool & these pyramid things (real pyramids reconstructed) and awesome lighting - it was insane - felt like a movie.






Nevertheless, the actual event was an opening of a new wing - "the American Wing" or something like that...so we also had a grand tour of the artifacts from old and enjoyed more strawberries & then hit the road home...

NYC has so many little cool events - it's impossible to have time & money for them all - but trust me, when there is a FREE event - we will be there!


I will post pictures later tonight!

NOTE: some random chick took the pictures and is sending them to Jess on Facebook - once I get them I will tell you all to check em out!

Yesterday, Monday, September 14th, 2009 - Bryant Park, Manhattan, NYC - Brennan, Jess and I hit up fashion week. Not too much action, considering we did not have tickets to any of the shows (INVITATION ONLY) - nevertheless, we did some massive people watching and hangin around the city.


In fact, we saw some chick from America's Next Top Model and a ton of other random fashion peeps. All in all, it was fun - got to enjoy the city on a magnificent day - did some window shopping...


And in the end we met up with Keenan and ate at this Japanese restaurant, "Tokyo Bar" on 277 Church St. Might I say - they did not take our RESTAURANT.com coupon! I was a little upset about that; anyway, the food was strange, too: cooked squid, "ketchup" rice with eggs, IshiSEEmi a raw animal, and some normal old french fries. Oh well, that's what you get with RESTAURANT.com Still enjoyed the atmosphere & their music...

Taste of White Plains? Taste of Rye? Taste of Greenwich? Taste of Port Chester?
Today was a day of tasting. We feasted on the Word and worship and then feasted amongst all the little towns within our area.

It was supposed to be "Taste of White Plains" - 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Umm yeah, we walked around found all the free food there was - which was like one booth, got a free day pass at a pilates wellness center and then dipped out.


We thought we would go to the Rye Beach, little did we know - parking = $8.00, GETTING ON THE BEACH = $8.00 PER PERSON! That would have cost us $32.00 just to go to the beach. Ridiculous.


Therefore, we continued on - listening to the GPS tell us there is a Coldstone Creamery in Greenwich, CT...Yeah, the Gipsy was confused itself. Could not find the Coldstone -


So we went onward - to Port Chester, NY. (All of these areas are 15 minutes away). Drove around and finally found an AWESOME LATINO ICE CREAM SHOP!


DANKLICIOUS ICE CREAM BARS = $2.00
BEASTALICIOUS CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANAS = $1.50
BIG SCOOP OF INSANE ICE CREAM = $3.00

We let the ice cream melt in our mouths as we (Jess, Bennan & I) ate our tasty treats on a bench along the Port Chester Downtown Area. Good times...
