Better Than Real Because It's Not.

(Oct 6) preed came to town, his first visit since 2007. I didn’t get to spend enough time with him the last time because Billy had just begun his death spiral. This time Paul probably saw more than enough of me. This is that story. <insert Law & Order sound here />
Paul came to town
He stayed in the Columbus Circle area
The crazy people were there to greet us
He gave a talk at the Wall St. Atrium
We had lunch at Katz’s. The live entertainment was a family that repeatedly left their baby unattended at the table where it sucked on a mustard bottle.
We walked to Brooklyn across the Brooklyn Bridge
Then walked back to Manhattan across the Manhattan Bridge
We made landfall in Chinatown.
Someone in the Bronx who works at the Irish bar he ate at cloned his card to buy a $1000 phone.

Dawn climbs over the horizon.
Approaching the east coast.
Inside the United Terminal at Dulles, Washington DC.
Must be a tribute to Jefferson Airplane.
Paul made this all possible out of his frequent flier miles, which I know he has better things to do with. My thanks to him for putting me on the other side of the continent, and for the time he spent with me.

The world. Do Not Touch!
Outside Wells Fargo.
I’ve never seen anything like this before.
A Keith Haring sculpture. I felt like I was back in New York City.
Maybe I am back in New York.
Seriously. San Francisco or New York City?
There seems to be a lot of public art about the place.
Ironically, shortly after my return, I passed this place on Lexington Ave. in Manhattan NY.

Up through this spring, I had never been on an airborne plane. Most of the people I know seem incredulous when I tell them of this fact, wondering what sort of backwater enclave I must hail from. Believe it or not, I’m the product of the New York suburbs, out in the middle of Long Island.
While going other places has value in and of itself, one of the advantages to being near New York City is that the world literally comes to you. If you’ve never been to New York City, or if all you’ve seen of the city is the Disney District, you can’t really appreciate what I mean. People are almost dumbfounded however, when I tell them I’ve never been off the east coast, unless you consider Philadelphia not-an-east-coast-city.
So it was thus, when I found myself ordered to the airport and summoned to San Fransciso, at the behest of my friend Paul, who recently moved up in the world again, and has a very choice apartment in what appears to be the middle of everything.
Since this is a photoblog, and not a photoblab,…
The monorail! Advanced Rapid Transit (formerly Intermediate Capacity Transit System) technology from Bombardier! First stop on any trip out via JFK.
The all-important boarding pass.
Paul, Adam, James
I was honored by the reception at SFO.
The other one. (hat tip to Paul)
My stock went up just sitting at a table with these guys.
There’s a reason it’s called “The View”.
EDIT: According to Viza, we’ve been hoodwinked, it’s not a monorail.
