Well not really the head honcho of Emerald Land but I am off to the Big Apple, NYC tonight to help organize a fundraiser for my intrepid organization at an exclusive New York nightspot with Whoops and Big hosting and a lovely young lady singing “come away with me.” Should be an interesting experience and I’m taking my trusty EOS along as well, hopefully should be able to get some good shots of the city, meet some interesting people, gawk at some celebs, hit some hot night spots, drink a bit and raise a lot of money.
I am a tad bit nervous about flying back on Monday which just happens to be a rather ominous anniversary. The fact that I’m brown and have a goatee makes my butt-cheeks clench in apprehension about being anywhere near NY on that day, much less in an airport. Oh well, impending loss of anal virginity aside, does anybody have any suggestions on what to do or good photography spots in NYC?

dude, to be fair, i don’t think even americans are stupid enough to think that someone of your stature would be able to hijack a plane

I’m also due to be flying on the 11th too! To Glasgow mind you, so I doubt I’d have any crazy jihadis trying to blow that shit up.
Butt cheeck clench in apprehension eh? Take some astroglide if you really want to ‘ease’ the process! (sorry, I really couldnt resist that!). Goodluck and we await pics! I loved NYC the last time I was there!

get on the hop on hop off tour bus.. quickest way to get round the city and see the big sights if u aint got much time.

Hopefully that young lady will stick to the stuff from her old album, because her new album smacks too much of Dolly Parton.
Rumour has it that she’s singing incognito (blonde wig, Nicole Richie sunglasses et al) with a punk band, maybe she’ll oblige you with a few of those tunes if you ask nicely

Evil – did get up Empire state but no sunrise or random numbers..didn’t drink at all you see
Spectral – damn too bad bout the timing mate, could have shared a bottle of tequila!
Boycy – umm…huh?
Darwin – thanks for the constructive advice! Luckily no rubber gloves were broken out…I loved NYC too…pics soon on Flickr
Savi3 – sigh…never done one of those bus tours, not even in London!
Rastiadu – dude she was awesome, even though I’m not really into that kind of music…didn’t get to ask her bout the punk band…sounds more like the kind of stuff our opening act would sing http://www.nelliemckay.com/
