After the movie, James and I walked around Chelsea for a bit. And I mean around. Down 8th Ave... Across 14th... Up 7th... Down 6th... Back across 14th to 8th... I was just in a walking mood/mode.
And while walking around, I happened to run into one of my brother Michael's Coast Guard Academy classmates. It was very cool seeing him - we hadn't seen each other in a couple of years. He was living in NYC after he finished his obligation with the Coast Guard, then moved away for a bit, and moved back a few months ago. Truly a small world.
Eventually, James and I settled into Helen's for a drink and some piano bar entertainment. Fun. -Although, one guy got gutsy and decided to go for the high note at the end of "You'll Never Walk Alone"... OUCH! -Even he admitted that he probably should not have done that after he sang. Especially at 2:00 in the morning.
Then we walked up to Times Square where they had most of it blocked off for the filming of "Enchanted" (starring Susan Sarandon, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, etc.). It was kind of cool seeing just how they shut down the streets. Alas, it looked liked all the production assistants were hoping that the crowd in Times Square at 3:00am was still not so lively and numerous. There really were a lot of people out tonight. And, of course, they all stopped on the sidewalks to get a look at the filming. I believe we spotted Susan Sarandon in some super-hero looking costume. It was purple and shiny.
