- Tomorrow night I'm grabbing dinner with my cousin Amanda and friend Anu in the theatre district. After, sans Anu, Amanda and I are going to see my friend Andrew in the Broadway production of "The Little Mermaid!" Once the show is over, we're meeting him backstage (I get to go backstage!) and then grabbing drinks.
- Incidentally, Thursday night is also the premiere of Harry Potter. I will not stalk the actors.*
- Friday night is the rehearsal dinner for my cousin Ryan's wedding. He's marrying a lovely girl who I've known for quite some time.
- Saturday afternoon, my family and I are meeting up with my Aunt and Uncle and we're going out to Port Jeff on Long Island. As a child, when I still lived on Long Island, we used to visit Port Jeff every weekend. My dad would get my brother and I comic books from the comic store and then we'd hang out on the playground. I hope it's all still there.
- That night is Ryan's wedding! Sadly, Samir can't accompany me since his Bar exam is in three weeks, but it'll be okay. The night will but full of "mazal tovs," "l'chaims" and "so, when's your big day?"
- Sunday is the post wedding brunch (seriously) and then we're driving out to see my grandfather's gravestone. I've yet to see it.
So, needless to say, my weekend is pretty packed. It's still crazy to think of my cousin getting married. He's two months younger than me, but has been with this girl for the past six or so years. We used to be really close. In fact, I remember when he first met her at summer camp. He sent me a letter.
I'm excited to be going up to NY and spending time with family, but I wish I had time to just relax and take in the city. Alas. There's always next time, right?
* Okay, maybe a little stalking. Swine flu or no swine flu.

Seriously? Harry Potter soon? I think I just squealed with happiness.
You have a wonderful time. Broadway? Harry? Wedding of a good friend? You can't lose here. I am headed up to Indiana next Monday, and we will be there when the HP movie comes out...I've had my calendar marked for A LONG TIME. We shall be standing in a line somewhere to get into see it. I haven't been so excited for a movie release since....the last HP movie.
Sounds like SUCH a good time- and please know that if you do stalk the actors a little bit, we won't think any less of you.
I'm jealous! That sounds like an amazing weekend! Oh - and I can't WAIT for HP. It's the one thing I've been promised for my birthday next week!
My brother works for a NY theater and I've got to admit, it's both fun and really boring to go backstage. Boring after a show when all the actors are focused on cleaning up and getting the hell out of there. But ... the experience of seeing the inner-workings of backstage is always cool. And you always walk away feeling a little special. It's the little things, isn't it?! Have a great trip!
have so much fun!!
I really want to see The Little Mermaid. I can't wait to read about it!! :)
I cannot wait to hear about all your NYC adventures! I seriously hope you ran into some of the actors at the premiere. I cannot wait for that movie to come out!
God, I'm SO EXCITED to see Harry Potter this week. It's like literally all I'm thinking about. Haha I'm such a loser.
