This week I've been clearing out merchandise for our sample sale in November and getting the showroom ready for Market. We are starting to gear up for market, which is in October. All our customers come to the office and walk through our showrooms and decide what they are going to purchase for the season. This market is for the Summer 2010 line.
Luckily, I can watch TV on my computer through hulu.com but current shows usually come on the day after they air, but I couldn't resist waiting to watch Grey's Anatomy so I went to the TV room early to get a seat. After the premiere I was in the elevator and I was wearing my AU sweatshirt and a girl said 'War Eagle'. She graduated last May and moved here to work along with 2 other girls that also went to Auburn. That was exciting to meet some new AU folks! We had planned to go back to the 'Auburn Bar' today, but I've had a headache and decided to stay in.
I decided I wanted to go see a show and I didn't have anything planned for Friday night so I heard about 'rush tickets' which most theatres have. They hold about 25 tickets and sell them day of at the box office for 25-35 dollars. Some shows limit them for students but others are first come first serve. My friend Tommy had recommended 'Next to Normal' a new play that won Best Score at the Tonys this year. The catch with the rush tickets is that they sell them when the box office opens at 10am so you have to be in line before that. I got up early on Friday and was headed out by 9 am. I got there at about 915 and was 12th in line. I ended up getting a box seat ticket for 25 bucks!! The box seats are partial view but definitely worth 25 dollars. The show was really great! A little different then my favorites. It was about a mother trying to keep her family together while coping with some issues. I don't wanna give the plot away though! It was great though!
Pictures I took inside the theater and Times Square
Today I decided to go to the Union Square farmers market! Its apparently the largest in NYC. I got there and there were a ton of tents set up around Union Square but as I walked around realized the tents stretched along some side streets so I just walked up and down the streets. Union Square starts at 14th street and as I walked the market went all the way to 8th street. It was filled with Gyros, Italian sausage, Thai, Burritos, and Crepe stands along with artists selling they're work and clothing retailers. I decided to get lunch so I searched for the stand with the most people at it, that seems to be a good indication for quality. I got a chicken gyro and a lemonade. I was giant but really good! Then I found the actual farmers market section with all the fresh fruit and produce from around the city. They had a ton of stuff, pies, goat cheese, fresh milk, soaps, candles, honey, apple, flowers, seafood, meat....everything!
Then I went show shopping....but to no avail :(
Now, I'm just staying in for the night and catching up on some tv! and maybe a movie!
