I have a thesis topic/plan.

Little Italy

Even more pictures! 
A black squirrel!! There were grey ones too, but i didn't get a picture. In Kansas we only have the red squirrels.
Elizabeth St. there were lots of reminders in NYC of my baby sister.
Little Italy


This concludes the pictures from New York City. Maybe i'll work on getting some fall in KS pictures up soon. Until then, i'm going to go watch baseball. Go Sox? I guess. Go purple Wildcats!

Graffiti to Graduate School

More photos starting with the Brooklyn Bridge.

This is a Banksy that we just stumbled upon in SoHo, and i believe it was later in the same day that we saw Frida and Dali. A very good day.
Myself, Dan, and Kristen at Pinkberry.
Pinkberry is pretty good. It's an acclaimed frozen yogurt place that i'm pretty sure started out in Los Angeles, but i'm not sure that anything could live up to its hype.
Meanwhile, back in Kansas, i have my thesis idea in hand and i sent out a book review yesterday that should be my first publication ever. Things are going well.

MoMA is where ALL the Raves Happen!

On the way to the MoMA we just happened across this rave on 53rd Ave, so we stopped to party for a second and take a picture for Sister. 

I saw my favoritist painting ever. I've loved this one since i tried to draw it when i was in a  seventh grade art class.

YAY!!

There was also a moment with a Frida Kahlo painting that i'll never forget.
This is just the first set of pictures from NYC. I'll post some more in the next couple of days. There's a whole series of traders on Wall St. just wandering around crying and reading The Communist Manifesto. A very bizarre experience.
Oh yeah, i think i might have a thesis idea.

Kaufman Stadium

As promised:
You can see all of the construction in the outfield.
The really big outfield tv.
Here's the cool fountains. I was stoked to get to see them in person and not on a Sega Genesis baseball game.

I thought they were going to win the World Series after i showed up, but apparently the Kansas City Royals are still just as bad as we thought and they couldn't make up being 16 games out of .500 in only the handful of games they had left after this one. Jeremy and I had a lot of fun though and the Royals did beat the White Sox on that night to go 8-2 in ten games. They finished the season strong. As we Tigers fan often say, there's always next season.
