Hurrah, I finally figured out how to do this blogging thing again! It’s been a while. Hello, everybody!

New York is awfully fun. I’ve not done any of the things you’re supposed to do in New York; I haven’t visited any monuments or even gone to any museums yet. I’ve seen a lot of plays, but all in the Fringe festival; nothing yet on Broadway (though Wicked is on my list for sure.) What I have been doing is running about advertising our show, going shopping (I have some killer new dress shoes) seeing fringe shows (from the very very good to the very very bad–the best and the worst were both yesterday) finding awesome hole-in-the-wall restaurants (yesterday I had dinner at a hummus place. Yes, a place that serves only hummus. Most of their entrees consist of a giant bowl of hummus and homemade pita to mop it up with. Sounds boring, but oh. my. god. was it good. I have set a whole new bar for pita bread; the store-bought stuff I don’t think I will ever eat again.) and drinking elegant cocktails in various locales. I haven’t really strayed outside of Manhatten yet, but I keep brushing up against famous places. I peered into the pit that was the World Trade Center and felt a little sad. I watched the sun set over Jersey from the Battery Park waterfront.

Today I’m taking it easy, answering emails, eating leftover risotto, avoiding the humidity outside. It’s after 2pm and I’m still in my pjs. I suppose it’s time to drag myself to the shower and face the world; there’s a show I plan to see at 4:30 today; I have Fringe business to attend to for Boulder and San Francisco. It’s nice to have a morning that doesn’t involve running out of the house the moment I get up. At some point I suppose I need to figure out my laundry. Hmmmm.

All right, icebreaker post finis. More as it comes. Hurrah New York!
