Aww, you're a cutie! I love your glasses. And DAMN your mom and sisters are babes! (So are you and your brother, but your sisters and mom look like they could be models!)

Apple Store Soho

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

New York Philharmonic in Central Park

Ooooh, pretty. I don't suppose there was a program for that concert, hmm?

Awesome! Amazing that you got a chance to take a full tour of the city and see all the sights. Great pictures, especially the night one.

On a sidenote, did you get a chance to visit Grado Labs and make off with a pair of RS-1 headphones?

Model Tila Nguyen is probably the sister he never tells us about. I would not be surprised if they were related.

I really wanted to do more (was only there five days), but it was a good trip. I'll probably be posting more images too -- and my sister has a crapload of prints from that 35mm she's carrying.

No

LOL. My sisters described my glasses as "almost, but not quite" hip. I also have contacts, but haven't worn them lately.

Yea, but I didn't get a copy

Wow, I went to New York City several years ago, and all the sights to see are amazing, one of the best trips ever. Do you have any more pictures?

Also what is the deal with that statue with the unnecessary amounts of breasts.

How dare you question what it is. It's art! And that is all that needs to be said.

Yes. My brother & I took ~540 shots with the digital camera, and my sister (the one on the left) took unholy amounts of pictures with her 35mm.

OMFG!!!!11! Teh b00bees!!!!! 1111oneoneshift+one 111!11oneeleven

Phong, go to hell. And before you do that, set up an NYC photo gallery. I'm deprived of my glorious city. ;.;

Yeah post some more pics.

And now you see why it's the greatest city on the fucking planet

On that subject, I might take a vacation in New York next year, since I won't be able to afford another West Coast vacation for a while.

Doesn't Ep3 come out next year?

Speaking of which, I do plan on attending a meet. If Florida isn't up to it (we shall see) then I'd hit NYC. Or both, depending on dates (if I got the money for New York too...a Florida meet, obviously, won't cost me all that much).

Knowing our luck, it'd be like it was for LOTR: ROTK, and the meet would consist of you, me, and Phong.

That's a bad thing?

Maybe between me and Phong we can drag a couple of the Bay Area-ish SDNetters/SB/whomever with us (IP and Mitth, though I'm not sure where exactly Mitth is). Kicking and screaming if need be.

Think Kennedy Space Center. Merritt Island... I usually just point to the bump on FL's east coast. I'm on the bottom end of that.

And a meet would be cool.

If you do, get the City Pass, it's well worth it, IMHO.

Hey, I can see my house in your pic! Were you stalking me?

Jesus Christ, haven't thought about THAT place in a while. I used to go there a lot with my Aunt Susan and Uncle John when I was a kid! I remember them taking me a few times a summer for a number of years--I hailed my first taxi at the age of six when I was at South Street Seaport! That is so cool!

So how's the pizza? (Must have some real NY pizza when/if he ever goes there)

I went to a place called Pomodoro and the pizza was excellent. Honestly, I prefer Chicago deep-dish style, but NY style is great stuff, too. It's far superior to what you can get down here in the Tampa Bay area.

I actually didn't go there (or Wall Street), my stomach was acting up badly that morning so I headed back to the hotel (yay mass transit!)

I needed exact coordinates for my planned B-36 strike

Of that, I have little doubt.

Although, since I've had some damn good pizza down here (Sbarro in Brandon Town Center, haven't tried that one over at University Mall yet) I'm going to have high expectations.

Dude, your sister in the green is hot.

Phongn, where's your brother going to go to college, UF like all of them?

EDIT: Don't both Rogue and you go to USF?
