8:00 just got into nyc. been up since 6am getting ready (there is so much food stuffed in my bag) and getting dressed (i'm wearing 3 layers of pants ><). i watched the sun rise over the highway.
in times square now.... not that many people yet, me and sally are just wandering. the stage and stuff are all being set up for tonight :D
went by the ABC studio and saw a crowd of people in there. apparently they opened the doors at 6am and took a bunch of people off the street for today's Good Morning America. saw a few famous people.... too bad i dont watch the show so i don't know anyone lol. (edit: google says that this is Robin Roberts o: )
9:30ish. sitting in mcdonalds lol. its cold.
12? left McDonalds about an hour ago, after draining my water bottle and then emptying my bladder. no bathroom starting from now, for the next twelve hours. dear god.
i'm sitting on a plastic bag on the street of times square... the nivea stage where ke$ha is scheduled to perform is about 10ft away from me :). i have pictures with things that will never go near the internet - if you want to see them you'll have to ask xD. think "only in nyc"
now the crowds start filing in and the boredom comes. joy...
1: a few people next to me just got interviewed by cnn! :O i wonder if i got in.... on the edge of the screen.
Just signed giant posters/signs that this guy made. I have no idea who he is. Nor does he know any of us. Oh well. pretty cool idea though.
~time lapse~ sorries. there were about 3 hours where i was just standing around completely unable to move... pretty fun. we were caught in limbo between the crowd who could see the film crew arrival and the crowd up front by the stage. LG had a giant billboard that you could text messages to and they'd post it up. i texted a happy new year message to my iple group -- it either never was put up or i never noticed it. some girl next to me said she texted "yo front, what's going on up there?". no reply yet lol.
met quite a few interesting people. one of them is from indiana. the other one starting yelling when my mom began to peel oranges (he was certain she'd need to have a bathroom break because of it). there were so many people squashed into that space it was even difficult for us to make room and let people out to use the bathrooms at all.
then the police they started shepherding us back and forth and penning us up-i swear that's what the nypd called it-before settling down in a crowd along the side of the NIVEA stage. phew.
5 hours to go! Just watched the first hourly countdown + fireworks. :)
