if you can make it there...

Every now and then when I’m on my way to work I stop and take a second to stand in the middle of Times Square. I look at the lights, the billboards, the giant video screens. I look at the red TKTS steps and all the tourists who came all over the world just to see a Broadway show. Those tourists look back at me, and wonder why some crazy shivering chick is standing on the street staring at them. I smile, breathe, take one last glance around and continue with my day as usual.



If you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere, but why go anywhere else when you have New York City?

new discoveries

On Friday I made one of the finest discoveries I have ever made in my life. I found something I should have found a long time ago. Something that has been a block away from me for the past four years and I never even bothered to venture inside.

The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.

I went on a mission to find sheet music for a class I'm taking, and stumbled into a collection of every music book, script, soundtrack, and stage video I could ever want. And heads up, non theatre lovers, there's regular people stuff there too! I found a hip-hop CD section... and... a computer lab... and a copy machine?

Oh well.

I'm obsessed.
