Another Dave...

So last night as I started my walk home, I saw a crowd formed in front of bright lights (it was dark at this point) and high-jump gear set-up. It was set-up on 53rd and Broadway. It was a Dave Letterman stunt!

I walked over and made my way through the crowd to see a man wearing what looked like an Olympic uniform...talking to a camera. The crowd was silent. It was peculiar...but I decided to go on home...I was tired and more importantly, hungry.

As I walked away...everyone started cheering....but not that I was walking away because who would be happy about that? No...I believe Dave finished talking to the man and I missed the high jump he did. I just saw the landing.

I jumped on Dave's Website today to check out what I saw/didn't see. But have since forgetten because tomorrow (Dave Matthews Day!)...Barak Obama will be next door to me. Literally.

This week's guests:

Wednesday, September 10
Democratic Presidential Nominee Sen. Barack Obama
LeBron James (USA Olympic Basketball Gold Medalist)

-------------------------------
Thursday, September 11
Jessica Simpson (CD, "Do You Know")
"Jungle" Jack Hanna

-------------------------------

Friday, September 12
Meg Ryan (The Women)
Ricky Gervais (Ghost Town)
-------------------------------

And note...I do not care that Jessica Simpson will be next to on Thursday. I actually would like to call in sick...or protest the show with my sign "Women Against Pink Jerseys!"

If I had it all...

So reason #431 why my Atlanta boss, Mike, is so awesome! I told him about Dave's concert to raise money for lung cancer...and this is what he came back with!

And notice he even used a Dave song as the caption...nicely done!

Weeks # 2 & # 3 recap

So I had an interesting weekend that consisted of a boy from Denmark, Heather at Fashion Week and myself in Connecticut with the cutest 3 and now 5-year old kids ever! I'm only going off of about 4 hours of sleep but will try and summarize the highlights of the past couple of weeks! Once I get some coffee and a bit of Zzzs tonight...you'll get the inside scoop!

Weeks 2 & 3

• Saw Stephen King walking with the shirt, "Be Nice to Me or I'll Put You in My Book"
• Saw America's Next Top Model that should've never won, Whitney
• I angered a married man from Canada when I wouldn't comply with his idea of "open marriage"...all while hanging out at The Hog Pit in the Meat-Packing District
• Stopped by the Today Show to watch the New Kids and Ne-Yo...on my way to work of course
• Paid a sickening amount for dry cleaning that I didn't even know could be charged for dry cleaning
• Ate pizza in Central Park while the city did sound tests for the NFL pregame show with Usher, Keith Urban, Natasha Bedingfield and more (Columbus Circle)
• Got Dave Matthews tickets (at the Garden!) and realized the show is not only to raise money for cancer research...but lung cancer research (my former boss is currently dealing with lung cancer)
• Chose Boston as my stomping grounds for my first 5k (I know people...it's not a lot, but for me...it may as well be a marathon!)
• Ate a lot of good food and discovered the bliss of Peanut Butter Cup Perfect in a quart
• Joined a gym and have yet to visit
• Beat my walk from 80th to Grand Central Station (walking by the UN on my way) by walking from 80th to Soho (that's a long walk folks)
• Fell in love with the Grand Central Station market
• Met a boy from Denmark that stole my heart who loved Dumb and Dumber
• Spent a sickening amount of money on only 4 drinks at Sutton Place while Heather and I were hit on a young Joe Simpson
• Ate the most amazing cheese fries on my life in Alphabet City
• Kentucky beat Louisville, but the Bengals couldn't even beat a drum
• Tom Brady is more than likely out for the season (and therefore will not be playing this week's Jet's home game which I was so hoping he would!)
• Attended my niece's birthday party in Connecticut and hung out with the family...fell in love with my nephew Nicolas (Age 3) who melted my heart when he asked me, "Aunt Carly...what do you want to be when you grow up?" <---picture that in the cutest voice possible!
• Roomie hung out at Fashion Week with many stars of Bravo...and will be there for a few more days...my roomie is saucy

Think that wraps that up. Looking forward to Wednesday and possibly a little 9/11 tribute on Thursday...game on Sunday....

And I wonder...

So school must've started because I see uniforms and children flayling around as I walk to the train everyday. It's crazy to think that they take the bus to school in New York City. Can't imagine growing up here...crazy!

In more important news...Chad's jersey will now officially say "Ocho Cinco" on the back. Wow.

ROOMIE SEZ

Reunited and it feels so good. Here are some pictures from our NKOTB and Neyo experience....

Pizza in the park

So today Heather and I grabbed a slice and went to check out the stage for this afternoon's concert (in celebration of NFL kickoff). Usher, Natasha Beddingfield and Keith Urban are the entertainment with "NBC stars" joining. We hope to see Jim from the Office. Of course it starts at 3:00 pm, so we'll miss most of it, but it'll be fun nonetheless!

Since Columbus Circle was closed off for the concert, we headed around to Central Park, ate our slices and contemplated about living in this really tall building that is birds-eye-view from the park. We could only imagine the view back.

Today show in the morning. Pizza in the park for lunch. NFL kickoff in the somewhat evening....I think I like this City.

A funny thing happened on the way....

O-o-o-o-o-o....

So Heather mentions that New Kids on the Block are doing the Today show this morning...nice! We detour from our normal route and go to the show...get right in...and watch the kids do their thang. We could see really good because turns out...KNOTB didn't have a lot of people there. Ne-yo joined "the Kids," making it ever more "on-my-way-to-work awesome!"

We left at NKTOB, but heard Ne-yo singing "Closer" as we walked away. Oh what it is to live in NYC!

Heather took some pics, so they will come soon!
