Whee, today Nick and I went to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, where I had made arrangements to meet up with some LJ people who I'd never met before -- [community profile] jiggery_pokery, who has been on my friends list for like 3 years? and is super-duper-cool, [profile] dezzikitty, his girlfriend, who has never been on my friends list but who is super-duper-cool, [profile] amuzulo, who has been on my friends list for all of a week or two, and his friend Stacey, who as it turns out also went to CMU, was class of '97, and we have some friends in common.

So, yeah. We met up and went to some park a few blocks east of Times Square and hung out for a while. It was a really nice day out. We played a card game that Chuck had brought called Hat Trick, which was really pretty spiffy and I liked it, although I think it needed a bidding phase. We also played a few games of Fluxx (which should be a testament to how cool I thought Meg was, because I despise that game). After that we departed to some restaurant (er, Old Devil Moon?) down in the East Village and had dinner, which was very good. Unfortunately at that point Chris and Meg had to depart to thar nor'eastern village o'Boston, and Nick and I wanted to see about seeing a show or something. So everyone went their separate ways after that.

By the way, Chris, I didn't get to properly thank you for buying dinner for everyone, so THANK YOU! Next time I owe you one! (Or at least some ducks or something.)

Anyway, Nick and I didn't succeed in seeing a show tonight, sadly :( We walked all through Times Square, and eventually came back here to look at movie times and get ice cream. And yay, he let me convince him to go see Bewitched with me, and I really enjoyed it! Shirley Maclaine was awesome, I mean, everyone was fairly awesome, but I still kept thinking "Huh, that's supposed to be Meg Ryan up there, I swear."

Yay.

I guess that's the day in a nutshell.
