Yet ANOTHER
weekend spent in NYC. I started out drinking margaritas Friday night
with Heather, Lana and Silver and we ended up getting smashed as usual.
They are such a bad influence on me.
After
finding myself back in Silvers apartment Sat morning, I then rang up
Stef and caught up with him, Adele, Shane and Sarah for another great weekend:
We started off going to Madison Square Garden Sat night for a
Heavyweight championship boxing fight between Ruiz and Toney (guess who
I was rooting for):
Madison Square Garden was a pretty cool arena and I recommend going
there if ya get the chance:
Stef, and I managed to
sneak down to the $250 seats for several bouts, the view down there was
fantastic:
We saw some
great boxing action before
we were snapped and had to go back up to the top. It was worth it, the
atmosphere down by the ring was sweet.
Don King
also came out while we were down there:
wearing all
his "bling" and waving American flags like they were going out of
fashion. Now there's a man who loves his job.
The next day Stef and I
took off to Atlantic City, where we met up with Sheldon for a few hours
before going in a Texas holdem poker tournament. We did alright, Stef
lasted 2 hours and I lasted 3. I went out with a pair of freaken queens
in my hand on an all in (lost thousands in chips). The other guy had a
pair of aces. DAMNIT!
Of course, we went to
Hooters while we were there:
And wandered around the
casinos and hotels, which are like mini towns inside:
(that sky is painted).
Here's Atlantic city by night and day (it's basically a poor version of
Las Vegas):
We drove back Monday to
meet up with the others and went to a sweet restaurant that night with
everyone to celebrate how long Sarah and Shane have been together:
The next day involved us
mucking about as usual:
...wandering around the
streets of NYC a bit more:
...before Stef, Adele and I
went on a helicopter ride!
Here's
a taste of what it was like
in the helicopter, I totally recommend it, cost $108 for 10 mins or so.
We finally checked out the
world trade centre hole and wall street:
before I took back off to
DC to catch my plane back to London!
All in all, yet another
fantastic weekend, NYC hasn't let me down yet.
