Friday night I headed down to Jim Hanley’s Universe in NYC for the 100th episode of the iFanboy Pick of the Week podcast. The show itself was awesome and was nice to see one of my favorite podcasts live. I didn’t actually talk to anyone there like an ass but it was still good times. The podcast is now up if you would like to listen to it. There is also a good chance it will make the video show where you’ll probably see me standing off to the side. After the show everyone went to Stout down the street but unfortunately I had my underage niece’s with me so we had some sushi in the city then headed home. I did end up picking up New Frontier Vol 1 and 2 and Kingdom Come trades to help feed my current DC fixation with the handy dandy 20% off coupon iFanboy was offering.

Went into the city today to check out the opening of the new Apple Store and to pick up a Macbook. Boy was that a mistake. Got there about 6:30pm and OMG was the line long. I’ve never seen anything like it before in my line. Its stretched almost 9 blocks. No way I was standing in line that long. So went down to Time Square, grabbed a bite to eat then headed home. I’m going to just goto the local Apple store here and pick up my Macbook tomorrow. Apple Store NYC is just going to have to wait another day.

Just got back from the casting call for Attack of the Show! in NYC. Call was from 1-5pm, so i hopped the 12:00pm train into GCT and got there about 1:40pm. Decided to walk down to W 29th St since it wasn’t too bad of a walk. Got down there at around 2:00pm and was pretty easy to find since the line was half way down the street. So i get in line and ask the guys in front of me where to get the paper work. Was told a casting director was passing it out. So I waited in line for almost 3hrs in the 95 degree heat. Bunch of us in line were just bullshitting about everything, game, G4, music etc. Was good times. Finally the line started moving quick and they were taking 10 people at a time by the end. I really think they had made up there mind before NYC because they didn’t even seem to actually interview anyone. When i got up there, they had all 10 of line up, state our names and where we were front. Then asked us what kinda segment we would want for ourselves. That was it. Oh and they gave us the paper work to fill out when we got to the casting room. At that point i was so hungry, tired, hot and just wanted to get out of there, i didn’t even try when filling out the paper work. One of the questions was “What makes you a nerd” and all i put was the names of the Icy Hot Stuntaz down. So ya, I’m not going to be the next co-host of AOTS but fuck ya i tried.

Here is my Flickr pool of some pictures i took with my camera phone while there.
