How's THAT for a whole lot o' acronyms? The University of Michigan Men's Glee Club visited NYC this weekend... and boy was it a blast! SBV and the rest of the boys arrived in town on Thursday afternoon, and performed a concert at Temple Emanu-El that evening. Here's a shot I took just after intermission (there wasn't a lot of light- sorry about the blurriness)...
Isn't that amazing? It was such a grand space- and the boys sounded great! Here's a shot of the whole group after the concert (SBV is in the second row, just to the left of the middle)...
There was an 'after-glow' following the concert. I even got SBV's carnation (sorry Mom)... yay! Do we look related, or what?
After that, it was off to celebrate the rest of SFS's birthday... can you figure out what I gave him?
First there was Benny Goodman... now there's SFS! I was very impressed- having never played the clarinet before, SFS had a really good tone- way to go, Mr. Music!
On Friday, SBV and I had a chance to hang out. First, we hit up Central Park. It was a beautiful day, so we bought 'Mega Missiles' (the ice cream vendors don't know what a red/white/blue popsicle is... you have to order a Mega Missile)... YUM!
And as we watched a softball team rehearse, I admired my bro's new kicks... doesn't this look like an ad for Lacoste?
After that, we headed down to Union Square. After admiring things in Fishs Eddy (and stocking up on some glasses for SBV's apartment next year), we people watched before heading to Cafe Spice for dinner... btw, Maharaja beer is DELISH!
After dinner, we headed up to Times Square. SBV, SFS and I had tickets to
9 to 5, so we hung out on the TKTS stairs until the show started. We people watched, and while SFS was on the phone, SBV and I tried to take a good picture. Take it from me... it's harder than it sounds... here are a few of my favorites:
Yep... that's my bro! This next one is a classic, only because this is SBV's attempt at NON-squinty eyes!
Great... now he just has creepy eyes instead! Out of all of the shots, this one is the best...
It's not great, I know... but it's the best we could do! After all that fun, we finally made our way to the show (see it in the distance?)... it was a hoot! I would definitely recommend it- especially if you're a fan of the movie. It's a fun show, with great music from Dolly Parton, and Marc Kudisch was just hilarious!
I have lots more to share from the weekend... but this is a good start. Check back tomorrow for shots of the Greenmarket and other crazy antics with SFS. Happy Monday!
