Quick weekend in the City

So we went to NYC for the weekend. I guess I didn't mention it in advance, which is surprising but I had a pretty busy week. I meant to mention it in advance, mostly for anyone in the area who might want to amuse me or get coffee or something. But the following things happened:
1. We took a very long busride on Saturday morning with Olex and Jen, and got into NYC around 1:30pm.
2. We got to our hotel and waited in a long check-in line to be told that they hadn't cleaned the rooms yet.
3. We ate overpriced sandwiches that were not very good.
4. Jen totally skipped the line the second time around and got us our room keys.
5. We had a pretty sweet room at the Hilton New York. Not bad for a cheap Priceline bid.
6. We caught a Yankees game courtesy of one of my clients. They got slaughtered 19-5 by Tampa.
7. We waited so long for a 4 train that we got to the game in the 3rd inning.
8. We had pretty good seats and the weather was lovely!
9. I remembered I had Ed's phone number in my phone, and called him to get together later.
10. We ate ice cream out of those plastic helmet bowls, so I can take the bowls and try to put them on the cats.
11. We were SWEATY.
12. We got back to our schwank room, chatted with O&J until they had to go, then showered.
13. Ed came to our room and we watched part of War Games before eating nummy Italian food.
14. The waiter thought Jen and Ed were both boys - MY boys.
15. We got to have late breakfast with Emmy at Hotel Edison in Times Square!
16. We walked down to Port Authority with Emmy and shopped at the Sanrio store.
17. Of course I had to buy a Hello Kitty shirt.
18. The bus ride home was largely uneventful.
19. We picked up the car outside the body shop. He only painted over the gashes, didn't fill them or anything, but I DON'T FRICKING CARE.
20. Now I pass out dead.
