Had fun in New York book shopping, sampling lattes, going to a comedy club, and having dessert.

New York – Day 2

Got sick and ended up in the emergency room! But I recovered enough to go to Dirt Candy in the evening after sleeping a bunch in the daytime. Dirt Candy was ridiculously awesome and I’m so glad we went to this cool vegetable restaurant!

Party that ended slightly earlier than usual because we’re all getting old, man. Still, lots of fun (and food) was had by all.
