On saturday, I went to the city with my friend Dani. We took the 7:16 train, and while we were waiting, some creepy guy cept talking to us and asking us questions. He's like "Is the train to penn station running on time?" and we're like "Yup." and he sees the cup in my hands and he's like "what are you drinking?" he was like one of those close talkers, so as he was talking to us he was inching closer and closer and we were backing farther and farther away. I'm like "coffee?" and he's like "Oh, I like coffee." he had this accent so I guess that in his country, its socially acceptable to talk to young girls. As we were walking on to the train, some of the other passengers joked with us like "where's your friend?" we all had a good laugh.
When we got into the city at 8, we went straight to the Equus theater so we could get student rush tickets. There were already three very weirdly dressed girls there and they informed us that hey had been there since 7 and the doors didn't open till 10. In order to get tickets, you had to get there early, so we were lucky we were the second group on line. We asked the girls to save our spot so we could get breakfast.
After eating a croissant at starbucks and walking up and down those new steps in the middle of times square (and I must admit, when I walked onto the middle crosswalk on broadway, i looked up at the sign and shouted "YATTA" like Hiro from heroes. There was no reason to be self consious because there were strangely only like 3 other people out. Plus, I reminded myself that however "quirky" I may be, I wasn't weird like those other girls waiting at Equus.)
We got back to the theater and waited an hour and a half, and then the doors opened and we got our tickets. So here's how our time between getting the tickets and seeing the show went:
We went to the virgin records store, got lunch, got on TV, went to toys r us, made a bag of purple, gold, silver, white, and teal m&ms at the m&m store, went to the much-smaller hersheys store, went to another more old-fashioned record store, and then made our way back to the theater.
Oh yeah, the TV thing. I'm on people's court. March 24th, 4:00 on fox. YAY!
The show was absolutely incredible. I loved it!!
At around 5:30, we got starbucks (I got a yummy chai latte) and made our way back to the train. Then her mom picked us up from the station.
I regret that we didn't get to go shopping (I even brought my 2 UO gift cards and my AA gift card plus extra shopping money) but next time, we planned to go shopping the whole day and then be on the studio audience of something.
