Guess Where I Went??

Yep, finally went to New York earlier this month as a bday present to myself.

Earlier this year Donald Glover/Childish Gambino had a concert at the Magic Stick that I missed because I waited to but my tickets. This was back whn I had my old job and had to watch the amount of money I spent. Anyway, the tickets were sold out and i was so pissed at myself.

One day I was on the phone w/ Claude and he told me that DG/CG was going on tour again and that he was going to stop in NY and do a show on November 3rd. I fucking flipped! I went to Ticketmaster, and yep, you guessed it, after only being on sale for 8 days, they too were sold out. I had it set in my mind that I was going so I found some tickets on Stubhub. Even though the tickets were double the price originally, I gave no fucks, I was going by any means necessary. Claude was searching for Megabus tickets, found some for $37 round trip, I put in my time off request, and it was all she wrote!

The trip started off a lil weird, Claude missed the bus initially so I thought I was going to be in NY by myself so I was a bit nervous but he ended up making another bus and we met up at the hotel. My job gets me a discount at LaQuinta & Drury Inn so I picked a LaQuinta in Brooklyn because it was close to where the concert was (Manhattan; Terminal 5). The bed was hard, and when I say hard, I mean HARD AS FUCK! The bathroom had these weird double doors like they went to a file cabinet and it wasn't completely flush so there was a gap between the doors and it let you look the person in the eye while they were pooping. Lol.

The trip was awesome. Live ass concert, walking around, catching trains, eating hot dogs (which tasted like a Vienna sausage), seeing one of my best friends from GV, eating slices of pizza for a $1, going to a comedy show, trying to escape from paying for our drinks at the comedy show, getting caught trying to not pay for our drinks at the comedy show, walking down times square drunk, the train being shut down in times sq so having to walk through Chelsea and Greenwich Village, ordering Cheesburgers at 4 am and getting them delivered, eating fat ass corn beef sandwiches... That weekend seriously goes down as one of the greatest trips in my life. It beat out Jamaica and Cayman Islands simply because the person I was with is an awesome person.
