A much delayed post but here it is:
Over the summer, The weekend of July 4th, I took a trip down to The Big apple to visit my cousin, Blue Star, a talented musician and a Sound Engineer with a B.A. Degree from Smith College. I departed in a people transportation machine (run by Megabus, service was good) on Friday July 4th(I hear it is a big holiday in the States go figure:P) from “South Station” In Boston, Massachusetts. I arrived at south station around 9 o’clockA.M. in order to get to my area for departure. I met a man using an O.L.P.C. and he gave me a quick demo of it, it was very interesting. While waiting for my bus to arrive and pick up myself and the other passengers, I was approached by a group of russians who were visiting the states and had come to Boston to watch the 4th of July festivities. They wanted a picture with me, how could I say No?! So I took a picture with them it was fun, they were happy, I was happy, I wished them well and off they went to enjoy their day.

The Bus arrived and I got on, and proceeded to get comfortable for my 4+hour journey. The route was scenic, and we only made 1 or 2 detours along the way. Arriving in NYC was great and watching all the sights as we drove past was great. I arrived shortly before 1 P.M. @ Penn Station and began to wander around and take in the sights. Soon after Blue Star arrived and we were off.  We stopped off at a few places, a coffee shop and headed back to her apartment so she could show me a few things. We hung out for a while, caught up on what we’ve missed and just wandered around.  Her apartment was cool, and I approve.

That is all for now.
Next: Part 2: The Celebration

So tonight I was introduced to a movie called Interstate 60, and all I can say is Wow. I had never heard of this movie before but I must say all synopses I have read do not do it justice, it is an amazing movie and I highly suggest you watch it. The cast is amazing in and of itself: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Amy Smart, James Marsden, Amy Jo Johnson, and Gary Oldman. The cast is eclectic and gives this movie a great diversity in acting styles to keep you enjoying each twist and turn to its fullest.

Now even though I believe a synopsis would ultimately fail to do this movie justice, the tag-line works well
“It began as a wish, became an adventure, and ended as the ultimate road trip”

My Conclusion, You should see this movie.

Over and out,
