Day 58-59: NYC

Got in late to NYC and crashed. Super 8 Hotel in midtown. Brilliant!

Got an early start on the day. Grabbed some coffee (from Caesar) and then headed to Central Park for a stroll...


Then headed south on the Subway to the Empire State Building. We waited in line for 2.5 hours in this...


...to see this...


...and this...


Yes, it got dark by the time we were done up there. Cold, too. But beautiful views.

Played a house show in upper Manhattan with some friends of friends. That was fun. Real quaint. One of the folks there asked me to play one of my songs at their Mass the next morning, so we obliged. After all, the residing priest wrote his dissertation on Oscar Romero. Wow.

Woke up Sunday morning to this...


...and this...


Beautiful! Expecting another 6-8 inches on Monday.

Played at the church service on Sunday morning at St. Marks in the Bowery. A beautiful place (205 year old building) and beautiful people (very diverse, ecumenical, peace-promoting). I played "The Great Inversion" from the album. It seemed to vibe...


My cousin and his wife (Joel and Rebekah) met us for a late, late lunch. We then chased musicals for tickets with no luck. Oh well, great frozen hot chocolates and teas and drinks all around. Wonderful conversation, good times, great food.

Not entirely sure what our next few days are looking like... we'll see...
