The Prep/The Performance/The Party
Unfortunately, we were not permitted to take pictures inside Carnegie Hall… legal stuff… blah, blah, blah. Anywho, I will offer you a glimpse into the evening as best as I am able.

Night Time Square
After our quiet, pensive downtown excursion, we went back to midtown and wandered time square at night. It is markedly different from being in downtown Ashland at midnight. I think there were as many people walking around Time Square as there were people sleeping in Ashland. To celebrate being in the neighborhood, we decided to [...]
World Trade Center
Not until you look at the massive buildings that were dwarfed by the towers do you realize what the scale of this was. Its a lot taller than five inches on your TV. It had to be wrenchingly loud. We didn’t talk much for a while…
