Despite having communicated very vague details, we decided to meet in the massive 42 st subway station. Two trains had come and go while I waited and despaired. It wasn't until the crowd dispersed that I turned and we spotted each other: amazingly, we had managed to find each other on the platform in under 20 min. Awww.
We then transfered onto a series of trains on our way to Bleeker St to meet up with Maddie & Co. We caught up on our lives quickly, me talking about my new devotion to marketing and him talking about cattle.
Ch. 2 The Adventure of K-Town
With Maddie & Co, we whiled away time drinking fruitpunchvodkas and playing Taboo to the sweet sounds of 90s pop. Of course, Anthony quickly became "very committed" to the game (shouting "FUCKYOU" to his teammate upon very word not guessed correctly). Then strangers appeared and we went to K-Town for a 3am snack. Of course, food was not up to certain standards and we had bill drama (damn strangers). But we left intact and full, if not satisfied.
Ch.3 The Adventure of the Night Over
Here we went our separate ways to get home. Anthony was staying a few blocks from me so we took the train toward our destination of 103 st from 34 st. This took about 30 min and in my late night stupor, I led us onto the wrong train into East Harlem. Luckily another good-looking college-aged white male (APPROACHABLE!) did too, and we took a cab together back to my place. We then went up to my apartment and sadly by we, I mean me and Anthony. He wanted to shower at my place, for he had never used a public shower in the US (NEVER?! Never.) He had planned to leave and walk to where he was staying but ended up crashing on my couch. Score.
Ch. 4 The RUSH Adventure
RUSH: An 18+ gay club, where girls pay more cover than guys. While Anthony entertained his UNICEF friends, me and Crystal stood at the bar and stared, facsinated with the 18yr.old boys table dancing (one of which was dressed as a True Blood vampire), the adorableeee bartender, and a built dancer who, in Anthony's words (and we agree) "oozed sex." Also, sometime during the night Anthony became inexplicably very drunk.
Ch.5 The Adventure of the Night Over, No. 2
While waiting for the subway train, Anthony decided his feet hurt and took off his shoes and rolled up his jeans. Again: Anthony was in socks in the NYC subway station. Crystal was embarassed. Then Anthony performed his banana song. Crystal was entertained. Anthony quote of the night: "Oh poo poo."
Afterward Anthony came to my apartment for another shower, before which he promptly fell asleep on my living room floor.
Ch. 6 The Adventure of our Last Time Together in NY
I thought we were going to have dinner but instead I got a phone call. I'll miss you Anthony.
