Ah... back from two weeks in the Big Apple. Got to see a few people I haven't seen in a while, but missed a couple of others who were sadly unavailable.
Didn't really get to see many sights, since I'd already done most of the touristy stuff when I lived there - though I did get down to the Brooklyn Museum which was having a 9/11 exhibit. Dressed up as Alex from A Clockwork Orange for one Hallowe'en party (albeit in his later years when he'd really let himself go). That's a real bowler hat though - not some plastic thing. I got it from a hat shop on Fulton street which also sold the greatest pimp hats ever. I also went to another party as a football hooligan - but that was just me wearing a Leeds sweatshirt.
