RNC: Day 1
On Friday, my office was dead. Everyone had cleared out except for the lowest people on the totem pole, which means first year associates (me and my cohorts), the copy center guys and the woman who changes the toilet paper all day (seriously, that's her job). Today the office is dead-er: haven't even see the toilet paper woman. The F train was down about 75% in ridership--I got a seat the second I got on. Other than that, it was a normal commute. Sixth Avenue is full of Peter Pan tour busses, presumably ferrying delegates around, and CNN studios have moved outside to film the anchors right on Sixth Avenue (no idea why. it's not like they're on a particularly pictureseque stretch of Sixth Ave). Lanes on Sixth Avenue are blocked off. And that's about it.
Exciting, huh?
The hotel right next to where I work is holding a ton of delegates from relatively interesting states, so I'm hoping some shit goes down. There is also supposed to be some sort of protest (I forget what kind. Prostitute Alcoholic Grandmothers of Haitian Origin for World Peace and Free Trade?) going right by my office on Wednesday, so maybe that will kick the excitement up a notch.
God I should be on vacation.
