I had to go to NYC for the annual art book fair. I didn’t know I could get so many of my friends to come with. And I didn’t know I would see so many people I knew out there too. It was fun.
We had planned to meet up somewhere in Brooklyn but ran into each other at the airport.
Long story short, our Airbnb didn’t work out so we got a hotel. And we never once woke up on time for the free breakfast.
Noah.
Set up. I was psyched to sell camera straps.
I was psyched Tiff hooked up a strap to her phone. I told her it would ruin her case the way she did it though. And it did.
Lele.
Feeling these guys outfits. I was thinking those hats must be like at least $400. And they all have them.
2 free credits when I walked up.
I didn’t even see Jesse the next day. He said he barfed all over his Airbnb in the morn and showed up an hour late to the fair. I saw his coworker and she said he didn’t shower and was looking like shit so she sent him home. Lol.
We stayed up really late every night. I am not sure how I was able to function as a salesman every day for all day but I did it.

This little girl made a cool sign for our table (said sign not pictured). I traded her some stickers, pins, and a camera strap.

Justin’s Krueger tatt. One time I went to Palm Springs to visit Monkey when he was living there. He had to go to work so he pointed us to a cougar bar. We got there and it was like 70 yr old cougars, we called them Kruegers.

Our bartender took a selfie after she took our picture.
I was supposed to leave in morning, but these dudes had 1 more day. They started talking about renting motorcycles, Mike and BB have licenses. But when they switched the talk to scooters and Monkey said he was down, there was no way I was gonna miss it. Spent all my money to change my flight and book a scooter and it was on.
They pick up and deliver scooters to the hotel. It was nice to be a tourist for once. Usually when I come to NY I am on the locals times and spaces.
This aura photo lady was really on point. She gave each of us a potent reading. She also said we were all very tired.
Photo shoot happening.
But we had our own photo shoot. Thanks Rebekah and Laura. We had a good dinner.
Monkey had never been to Times Square before.
After we dropped off scooters we stayed out late. Monkey and BB somehow didn’t even make it back to the hotel until 15 mins before check out.
The next morning at IHOP was rough, waiting for Uber to the airport.
Hotels and scooters only for next time. I’m excited about it already.
