Last weekend, Anna and I met up with a friend of mine who I met a couple years ago at the HighEdWebDev Conference. They had tickets to see a show called Fuerzabruta so we tried to get down to the theater on Friday evening to get cheaper rush tickets.

Sadly, my sense of direction was confused and after we got off the subway I led Anna east when we were supposed be headed west (or the other way around). She finally convinced me (I admit I can be stubborn) and we made it just in time to see two girls do a fist pump. They had purchased the last tickets (cue clench-fisted slow-motion “Noooooooooooo”).

We started off Saturday by doing one of the things I hate most in this world: weekend grocery shopping. I am a firm believer that full-fledged trips to the supermarché should be reserved for le semaine (also a firm believer in making this a multi-lingual blog).

Needless to say I was in a bad mood as we returned to the apartment. Anna worked on grad school stuff (from what I can tell is just a lot reading and building dioramas) and I worked on the Internets (favoriting YouTube vidoes and maintenancing my Facebook profile).

Where it began, I can’t begin to know. Wait a minute. I think it may have all started at a dueling piano bar in Times Square by the name of Sweet Caroline’s.

I had never been to a piano bar before. But, I do have a certain fondness for pianos and I do enjoy bars a good deal, so it seemed like a great idea from the get-go.

I’m taking some time away from my studying and cleaning to reflect a bit on the past week since I last blogged. Okay not really taking time away from as much as postponing my studying and cleaning…

Drew recently posted about our Saturday of running and giant pianos. Seriously, I loved the FAO Shcwarz store. It was so much fun. If people come and visit I think I might make them go there. I mean its free and you get to play on a giant piano. Its fabulous!

But Drew already wrote about that so I will talk a little about what we did last weekend. We went to the world famous Lenox Lounge.
