sitting on stairways is strictly prohibited
If you don't follow me on Twitter, you probably don't know that I was in New York until yesterday.
I'm working on a full-on trip report, with lots of pictures, a review of Spamalot, and a few jokes, but I'm busy getting actual work done so it'll have to wait a day or so.
Until I have time to properly show you New York the way I saw New York, please enjoy this example of why New York is so awesome:
For the photographically-challenged, that's a girl sitting on a stairway in Grand Central Station, next to a sign which explains that Sitting on Stairways is Strictly Prohibited. Yes, those are three New York City police officers watching -- and laughing -- at her audacity. I don't know if they wrote her up, but I doubt they did. I got the sense that the NYPD had much better things to do with their time than write stupid tickets to college students who were on their cell phones.
Great photo. Awesome composition. :) Really funny too. A+.

I got a text from someone at the same wedding; portly guy with a lot of ink and ear lobes stretched? His wife had a monstrous Nikon.
And you didn't even swing by to take me up on FREE GUINNESS!

Haha... I love coming across stuff like that. If only I carried around my camera more often...

No book signing or anything. Not even ComicCon. :(
Please come back soon!
In the meantime, you haven't said anything about Spamalot's American Idol cast member. Seemed an interesting casting choice. Was he any good?

"If you don't follow me on Twitter, you probably don't know that I was in New York until yesterday."
First thought---How cool!! That's so so nifty.
Second thought--waaay too close to cyber-stalking, this guy doesn't know you.

Wil,
You belittle my comment (see first and second comments above), and follow through by giving us part of the story. Stopped at end of Part 3 with the promise of more to come.
I rest my case.
You lost it because it took too long and you got on to other things.
I thought this was going so well that you could put it into your next book. But pretty tough to do if you don't finish the story.
