Julie Pope: Adventures in NYC... and getting there.

Adventures in NYC... and getting there.

It's late and I'm beyond exhausted but I can't not write down this nonsensical day for fear of it leaving me... or apathy to set in.

We're(Brandon and I) all ready to leave on this first day of "spring" from Kansas City to NYC with a layover in Chi town. It's already snowing our flights a little delayed but still promised to be on time. I start reading Through the Looking Glass to pass the time and prepare for our wonderland themed First Friday event. We finally take off an hour late with sure promises that we'll make our connection. We didn't.

After chaos and way too much confusion I'm handed two tickets to long island for tomorrow morning and told the cots will be put out in A terminal(which we found out later were actually in C). I begin to wonder when the red queen is going to make her appearance because so far Alice and I seem to have a lot in common.

Some nice super chicago police officer told us how to get out of the airport and find food. We had an awesome bartender who served "ultimate" drinks and had a piercing on her cheek(see picture) Brandon began to relax after our little trip and then the red trolly took us back to midway airport so we could sleep on our lovely accommodations(see pictures\/)

4AM! someone shakes my cot telling me everybody has to get up! Really.. after lingering our plane takes off at 8 lands in Islip/long island at 11 then we run to catch a train.(no need to get baggage cause they said I had to go to a different airport and pick them up)

An hour and a half later I'm at Penn station finding my way to the TIGI Academy... Finally.

30 minutes of subway craziness and walking we get there. Hallelujah!

I was able to do some hands on colour training with the fabulous Berry Bachen. It was really fun and interesting. Brandon assisted and was a great teacher. I can't wait for my full day of class tomorrow!

now time for sleep.

ps I got my bags and my clothes were wet... but it's all good my way to generous host have a washer and dryer;)
