A couple of things to add to NAD's cool story:
- On Friday night, at 4am we went to a diner for breakfast as NAD pointed out. Thing is, he forgot to mention that there were two (near) brawls in there. One push/shove match was between a couple of drunks, and the other one was between the waiter and his boss!! We think the latter was fake though. Good acting either way.
- NAD also forgot to mention we went to CBGB's. Well, we went in, saw the cover charge, and headed off to the next pub.
- On Sunday, I met up with NAD at his uptown hotel and we took the subway around Manhattan (to Times Square and then to Union Square). You can't come to Manhattan and not put your life on the line on the subway, hehehe. It was weird at Times Square because it was just jampacked with tourists and natives (including one guy dressed like Spiderman and charging $5 for a photograph!), and then we went into Manny's music store to check out some geetars and the place was just as silent as a mouse. Outside hussle bussle, inside soft acoustic guitars and a room full of bass guitars with not a soul insight. Very surreal.
- We also ate at Tabla. It's one of the best restaurants in Manhattan. NAD only forgot this because I picked up the tab. Dirty jew.
- Further discussion took place about Cradle of Filth's bass player, and how to get some riffs over to NAD electronically so he can add me a bassline.
- I stayed at the Metropolitan Hotel in midtown and it was grrreat! I got lucky through hotels.com.
- Get NAD and Lurch drinking some, and I think they can come up with some money making ideas. Certainly there was talk about making it rich through real estate in India, heh.
Next trip: San Fran, seeing Slough Feg and the Hammers co-headline a pub filled with 20 people. Leave with tattoo of some kind.
