CN International offices. Uneventful night for sure.
Trying to finish this Global proposal. Out of nowhere Jackie calls and manages to convince her to stroll downtown to Tribeca to get a drink with Ambro.
9pm
At Landmarc drinking a nice chilled Manhattan on the rocks. Miles is working at the bar.Slowly the small round bar started filling up with new faces. First arrived a Korean named Justin.. then Tony joined also..still wonder was he really Swiss? and finally a very old familiar face from the first years in New York made his appearance, Robert the old wine consultant at her most favorite spot "Raoul's" restaurant in Soho. Conversation about films, art, tv shows, about the Greeks who are obviously the reason behind the economical crisis! About that book for the vampire lady that Tony was trying to read while on the other side the discussion was about alienation from each other, why do young people have to date through an online dating machine?Well, J said, I guess we live the Online period, same way you choose a shirt online, you choose a girlfriend online.
Music is playing loud. Song " Driver's seat" from Sniff 'n The Tears".
A smile in the face. How amazing it is to still be here; living the dream of the Big Escape. As long as she can have a drink in a short glass with three ice cubes, a funny bartender, her notepad and her A1 camera; all will be just fine.
What a ride so far in America
Listen to the music.
Imagine you are at the drivers seat now.
Let me takc you for a short ride through my photos to some of the parts of New York and USA that I loved through my travels.
Just enjoy, feel the wheels speeding up and your imagination driving you to new lands, from New York to Las Vegas, to San Fransisco; places you maybe dream to visit one day -

This comment is about the Landmarc evening!
ReplyDeleteIt was a surreal cold dark dark dark New York City night.
The darkest of dark thoughts crowd my mind lately.
It was a night before my trip to Europe, could be my last is what I imagined........
Some strangers and some friends sitting around a circle bar....drinking and sharing thoughts. Surrounded by laughter, loneliness, wit, and the warmth of a good fire. Reminder of why New York City touches so many hearts.
it was a good one like this morning -
