TS and I tried to go a tribecca film festival film last night, specifically Toots up at 68th st (it seems most films were not being shown in the actual neighborhood of tribeca). We waited on line* for close to an hour to discover that not only were there no tickets for us (we were closer to the end of the line, than the front) but that they infact had no tickets available to anyone in the line.
Turns out that had we slipped the filmstudent "line manager" a cool $10, we would have gotten tickets. damn. I've got to use that trick sometime.
We ended up dinning at Cafe Mozart, listening to live jazz. During our stroll down to Columbus Center there was a frenzy of activity in front of Lincoln Center. We ambled over to investigate. It turns out it was day 4 of David Blaine's lastest stunt of living under water for 10 days. Wow.
This is why I love NYC . . . you never know what the hell you'll end up seeing.









*thats NYC speak for in line
