I kept saying New York City! in this weird way all week and I couldn't figure out what TV character I was imitating. Today I realized it was none other than Kris Allen in the bubbletweet video. Hee. So yes, I am in NYC and so far everything is going my way. The things that matter anyway. I got a window seat on the bus (that arrived on time!!) and with no one next to me I was able to stretch out started the trip. Then yes, I did go to the wrong address to wait for this Breakfast with Glee thing where the castmembers were going to a theater to do a radio show and some lucky contest winners had a ticket to be there, ask questions, meet and greet, etc. I was not one of those lucky people but I wanted to see them arive and possibly get into the theater. I quickly decided to take the subway to the Apple Store so I could check the right address and go there hopefully in time to see them. I made it down there by 7:30 and waited to see if there was any chance I'd get in. A guy came and said probably not but a couple people next to me said every time they did this, people in the standby line did get in. I was fourth in line so yeah, I totally made it in :) I was so happy, shaking and crying (not really for that last one).
But yeah, I saw the actors who play Mercedes, Santana, Artie, Tina, Finn and Puck and they were answering questions for Z100 and generally being super cute, dancing during the commercial breaks when songs were playing and it was just so cool to be in the same room with them. I got some video of it as well. Then a bunch of people all got to go up at once to get a picture with them and meet each one. And so I did!! It was great to meet Amber and Naya for the first time and I was sure to tell each cast member something special I loved about them (Kevin: favorite voice, Santana: loved her Bad Romance solo, Finn: the end of the last episode was amazing, etc) because I always like to give them a little feedback to tell them how much I love them. I waited outside and saw them leave but sadly it looked like they were too busy to do any autographs. Overall I was just soooo happy I got to meet them and attend it because I thought I had no hope without a ticket. Good way to start out my day. The $8 I spent on the subway ticket was sooo worth it. Although really, what happened to the all day passes? :(
I didn't take my computer with me this time *pause for shock* mostly because I didn't want to lug it around because I want to get some actual workout time in today. It actually is working out well because I brought a few books I've been meaning to read and I'm actually getting some serious reading time on them. Always having fun walking the streets of NY, walked Tribeca to the Apple Store along 6th Ave/Broadway which is always entertaining in seeing what's around. Except for the extremely tempting food parts. I don't know how New Yorkers stand it. However I am super in love with NYC right now in the I reeeeally want to live here kind of way. I feel like I'm cheating on LA lol but I know I could only ever live here during the summers so it's okay. I just love all the bright lights and stimulation and people and energy everywhere. It's fun.
Looking forward to meeting up with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) fredericks and paraka later/tomorrow! And of course the big concert is tonight eeee. I am glad I am going to their first concert at Radio City Music Hall. Even though I originally wanted to go to the last one, it all worked out because now I got to meet them at the Breakfast with Glee thing!
And lastly a meme because I am curious if people see what I see or even more:
Check my fandoms, my favorite characters, the pairings I like the most, my kinks, my fictional crushes, anything. Now, in a friendly and possibly teasing way, point out the obvious and not so obvious trends or fetishes you see in my tastes. Maybe I'm nuts for all vampire stories, or have a thing for men who smoke, or I'm fond of the tsundere archetype, or I'm into rival slash. Let's point out all of those you've noticed I tend to squee about during our friendship. |

| I like to top. |

*laughs* I can never say that without laughing like Adam. But yeah, I do like to top because I am currently number 1!! I had the biggest weight loss percentage in the group at 6%, boo yah! Yes I am psyched. Also the number of pushups I can do is increasing and I am very very happy about that because I want to do this double clap pushup so I get free personal training lessons but really just to show my trainer I can do it. Cause I'm all badass like that. No really, I'm a very competitive person (/Santino or any reality show contestant) and this just makes me happy.
I am in a Neil Patrick Harris kick for obvious reasons. His voice is just sooo gorgeous and pretty and gets to me and of course he is pure hotness. The gay thing helps because I am me and can't help myself but he's just awesome at everything really. I have been listening to all his Dr. Horrible stuff and Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit (this HAS to be Mad Men vid amirite? someone do it so I don't have to) and his recent stuff but does anyone know of any more music that he's done? I need more!! I reeeeally wish he could join the cast of Glee and sing every week cause I need my fix.
Oh, I'll be in NYC (again I know) on May 28th, all day until my Glee concert at 8pm and early morning on the 29th so if anyone wants to hang out, let me know. I am hoping so much I'll win this radio contest breakfast with the cast of glee (plus q&a/meet and greet) cause I'd DIE OF JOY but who knows at this point. Really I am just soooo excited about the concert and can't wait to see the energy and music love of Glee live in concert. Sure to be epic and crazymaking.
My thoughts on the Modern Family finale can be summed up quickly: awwww that was perfect :D I love when this show can make me cry. |

The videos will have to come later as I'm too tired now to edit them all together but here's what happened when I went to NYC and saw Adam/Kris/David, Allison Janney and fans...
( Details of my NYC trip )
And that was my trip. I'm just glad I didn't lose my backpack this time and nothing went disastrously wrong. It was amazing really. And it made me look forward to Vividcon so much more because there really isn't anything like hanging out with fans. It's just satisfying in a deep kind of way. Anyways, thanks to everyone who I hung out with for making my trip so much fun! I'm thinking of going back to NYC actually to see the ball drop. We'll see...I think I am going to have to get really into Allison Janney and Adam Lambert because they are too awesome to be ignored.
On another note, have I mentioned I'm getting a car in January? I'm soooooo excited!! It'll help me get around in LA and I'll actually be able to go out and night and do stuff and not have to worry about sucky public transportation. The freedom!! I really can't wait. I will need to buy a TV for my dorm and I'll have to spend some money on that because I love big tvs and don't think I can settle for a small one. Can't believe I'm going back to college in less than three weeks. I miss California a lot though so that'll be good.
I can't believe in one week I'll be watching Mad Men. At Vividcon! |

| Back From NYC |
[Aug. 8th, 2009|04:06 pm] |
Will have to post a detailed recap later as I've got to go to work now but here's a brief snapshot of a highlight:
Yeah, I met Allison Janney!!! It was amazing.
Also got to see Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and David Cook in concert, had a wonderful time hanging out with fangirls and saw 9 to 5 which was excellent. NYC beat me down a bunch of times as it does but in the end, the good outnumbered the bad so I'm happy. |

So my greatest fear was avoided and Federer won his semifinal and is in the US Open finals. BUT of course the stupid rain screwed up the other semifinal and now the final won't take place til Monday. ARGH. But fuck it, I'm staying. Some extra money for food and possible attractions, missed classes and less in my hard drive fund but whatever, I need to have the whole point of this trip. It's just frustrating.
Besides that my trip has been pretty awesome so far, forgotten (lost?) cell phone aside. Did tons of walking exploring the city, spent time with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) counteragent and veredus who are made of awesome (with bonus vidtalk!), met Jay McCarrol at Fashion Week (!!!! he's awesome), lusted after too many items to count in the NBC Universal store, saw $11,000 outfits at Saks and am now at the wonderful Apple Store charging my iPod and updating here. So I have all of Sunday free now to do whatever I want and will watch the game at 5 pm on Monday *sigh* Only for you, Federer.
Now off to Rush, to go to my first club which of course will be filled with hot guys dancing and making out with each other :D Sounds good to me. |
