Left the house a bit before six in the morning, walked to Davis, took the redline to the South Station where I took the 7am Peter Pan to NYC. The bus was full, barely a seat or two empty. Surprising, so shocking.
Got to NYC at 11.30, walked to Central Park, snacked a nice taco bell burrito I've mentioned a bit before. Chilled a bit at the park before friend N arrived. Went to the hotel, got a nice hot shower, changed, and we headed downtown to meet his friend SB and her friend Katya. We got bubble tea, sat at that park in Downtown which is basically on-campus for NYU students, apparently. We chilled, I had K's cookies, talked about the future, where we live, what we want to do, and the terrible really bad seeing-people situation others are in. I told them about how Melinda and I had been talking in recent days and that cheered up the mood a bit.
Took the train back to uptown, the top of the park, to meet PB and AS, plus their two friends who were in town for a month for Florida, just renting because they wanted to explore the place. AS was busking, and we were supporting him.
I've never ever ever seen the Central Park so full of people, it was incredible. Sun's out buns out, it is truly the motto of the modern new yorker.
We changed a couple of locations, before eventually coming back to the old place. Except now we had like 12 of A's friends. SS came over, and we got caught up as well. N's two friends were there as well. And somehow the guys (well...one of A's friends) and N's friends started playing antakshari, which nobody else was interested in. It went on for two hours. We had planned to get dinner with the small group but the girls left, apparently because of something I said, but idk, it doesn't really seem likely that I'd be not excited to go to Brooklyn, since the entire purpose of the trip was to have hung out with them. Something is up and I'm being blamed for it, I will not stand up for that sort of nonsense.
At nine ish, the four of us, N & I, P & S decided to get dinner, A and his friends went back home. We went to a nearby diner, and people had many conversations about patent laws and bill gates and vaccine etcetera, I didn't have anything to contribute to the conversation.
We separated in the evening, half hour after the midnight bell rang (inside our heads, one imagines), without getting the desserts that we'd been talking about for two hours. It was interesting. Something was up, I don't know why ad don't give a crap about it.
Back in our hotel room -- 28th floor by the way -- I watched tv for 15 minutes and feel soundly asleep. N couldn't sleep or another few hours, apparently.
