Late, LATE, Sunday Night!
I am worn out! But oh how wonderfully worn out.
I need to just go to bed!
I had breakfast, a very fast one, with everyone this morning and then shot out because I was crying. These people went from friends to deep family very fast.
I got on the right bus and was helped my very nice mutual tourists, one who was quite hunky. And nervous around me. HA!
Then took the right train but in the wrong direction. No one told me you had to get on the train going in the right direction. NO ONE!! I did figure it out quickly though. Asked and was told to get off and go up and over and I was going in the right direction.
I couldn’t call Brak666 because there is no connection in the bowels of New York. Thankfully nothing Clive-Barkerian either.
Lucki8ly Matt was late but we connected within about twenty minutes. And what a sexy bear! Woof! I know bears and bear lovers in KC who would eat him up!
We hugged and I kissed him right there in front of the NYC Port Authority and the New York Times. OMG – what a building! WOW!
Then it was on to Times Square to see what show we were going to see. Yes, it appeared at least that Book of Mormon was sold out, or at least they didn’t need to offer discount tickets. I do not want to hear one single “I told you so.” Be warned.
We thought we were about to get spectacular tickets to Evita! with Ricky Martin (who I really want to have sex with) but then suddenly – alas – there were no Sunday shows.
So we “settled” on Cole Porter’s Anything Goes and it was simply spectacular. I started to cry. I was witnessing a NYC musical. The closing number for act one was right out of the movie-musical De-Lovely and I have never seen anything like it. People who don’t like tap-dancing would be blown away! I can’t say enough out spectacular it was! And act two was wonderful! And there were so many of my favorite Porter songs like – of course – Anything Goes, and then De-Lovely, Blow, Gabrielle Blow and more that I am too tired to remember.
Then sweet Matt agreed to go take the Staten Island ferry – and it id free – where we were able to see the Statue of Liberty. WOW!!!! Unbelievable. She is majestic my friends!
Then we went to one of Matt’s favorite gay bars and I bought us a round of beers and flirted with the very hot bartender. Then it was a rush back to the PA so Matt could catch the bus home.
And me?
I couldn’t help it! I went back to Times Square and who should I run into? The coupe from this morning! Hey pointed me in the right direction and I took about a billion pictures, on top of the billion I took on the ferry. TS at night is so amazing.
Something funny. It wasn’t as big as I expected. It is HUGE, but it is tighter, more compact. But wonderful!
Then it was back to the PA, I got on the right train and in the right direction…
BUT…..
I didn’t know which direction to go once I got off the train! I listened to the wrong person and missed the bus by – literally – seconds. Had to wait on my exhausted feet and knees for over a half hour. That was the eleven at night bus!
Finally got back to the hotel around midnight, somehow packed pretty much everything, went to the lobby and printed my boarding pass and had a cocktail and here it is after one in the morning and I want to get up EARLY in the morning to go see the Empire State Building!
Please wish me good luck.
All in all a spectacular event and experience and I wouldn’t chnge my life for anything!
Because now..?
Well…
Anything goes!
Pleasant dreams!
