Summertime update

Hey hey kiddies...been home for a month and there have been lots of changes...okay not really but the main thing is that I'll be home for the summer after all. I'm just needed at home right now more than I am in PA. I've been searching for jobs around here which is a lot more difficult than I expected so I extended my hunt into Manhattan. The interview went well soo we'll see. I'm really hoping for the position (clerical) because the city commute is actually quite enjoyable/amusing to me. The characters you see out on the street are just too much. And if that doesn't get you then the love of listening to talented musicians in the subway and street corners (so much better than listening to the radio) should. This group Hypnotic Brass Ensemble was playing in Times Square by the subway stop; seriously good music that I haven't heard in a while! Nice beat, smooth melodies..beautiful!
Later that night, I went to Webster Hall to see what the deal was with this place. So expensive ($5 for WATER) and some of the same songs were being rotated on the different floors (tsk tsk). 6 out of 10 Webster! Four hours later I had the pleasure of waiting for the 5 a.m. train to L.I and watching many of the lovely Long Islanders do what they do best (especially with some alcohol in them): be obnoxious! Of course I caught a lot of slack (followed by silent treatment) for getting home in the a.m. but it was fun and very much so worth it! Wish me luck on the job hunt and the hunt for my phone!

Sus!
Your routine, then, must not be so different from mine. All I've been doing is job hunting! Good luck to us both!!
And yeah, those guys in the subway are unbelievable! We'd stop every time to watch them play and perform dances... So NYC, so good.
Is this Webster Hall? http://www.websterhall.com/
Looks like so much fun!! How come I didn't know about this place before??? I'll go next time! :)
Put some pics up when u can!
Love, Jen
