Monday in New York

Just a few New York moments from today. (yesterday, actually. It’s 1:35am on Tuesday morning. Damn, I need to go to sleep!)

We went to the top of Rockefeller Center. It’s cheaper and faster than the Empire State Building, and it has this great view of the Empire State Building!

It also has a killer view of Central Park.

Nothing special, just a cool chandelier at the restaurant where we had lunch.

I love these subway signs.

Many more pictures to come, I’m sure.

Rush

Rush was otherworldly tonight. I thought the show in Boston was excellent. Tonight blew Boston away. The downside being the audience. I’ve seen three Rush shows at Madison Square Garden, and all three included a boring crowd. The other two included a number of obnoxious people too. That didn’t happen this time. Just the usual everyone sitting down after the first song. Wussies.

M&M’s

As New York visits go, today was very subdued. We are staying near Times Square and we didn’t really venture beyond much at all today. We went to a few stops and had a relaxing day. We also spent some time in the hotel room and watched both Captain America movies.

Tomorrow is Rush, so it will be a busier day.

I have to say though, that the epicness of the M&M store in Times Square cannot be overstated. I could live in that joint!

Chris Squire

I just read a post on Twitter from Geoff Downes, the keyboard player in Yes, saying that Chris Squire passed away.  This is awful news!  My condolences to the family and friends of one of the greatest musicians I’ve ever had the pleasure to hear.  Rest in peace, Fish.
