New york Cray-fish
So we trekked up to NYC yesterday. Snydy took the helm of the Enterprise and off we went. We met up with Theo tri and later, Mart man. So the Show was good. We saw Robert Cray at BB kings place. It was an interesting venue. The wait staff is solid. We got into NY about 5ish. we met Theo and had a nice meal. I think it was the flagship Ruby Tuesdays.I've never been in a nicer one.My meal was good as was the conversation. we discussed things like if it was proper to hockey check someone on the street. Our answer was only if they won't move. We figured the right technique is to cross your arms and charge ahead. You basically need to get Margie mad. After the show we poked around times square. Talked a bit more ,got cold and said our goodbyes. Rod was really tired so he put the enterprise at warp speed and off we went. I had a real good joke on the way back. I'm proud of that one. I also dazzled Rod with my excellent blues lyrics. I figured it beat him falling asleep at the wheel while we were flying along. Good trip, Good times-C

OK, let's start off with a few gramatical errors.
Cray & King needs to be capitalized, but enough schooling from me as I could delve deeper into this article.
Yea, I drove since Snaporte was being a bitch about driving in the rain. We left WFM & went over to the Big K in search of a silver sharpie so It would show up nice on the picture of Robery Cray & Buddy Guy, when I Cray signs it of course.
We cruised into town with no issues, parked in my favorite lot & proceeded to meet Theo at Office Depot, when he found a nice 4 pack of silver sharpies. Big K didn't shit. They should call it Big S. On out way to the Depot, we were walking on the right side of the street. Me on the right Snadouche on the left, when we see a guy coming towards us. I see this asshat cross his arms right before he reaches us & plows through. I yelled back & called him an asshole & we proceeded to yell expilitives at each other on 40th st. I know better now for next time. I'll cross check the next person with my mono pod.
Ruby Tuesday was indeed nice, but it needs to be if you're gonna be with the big boys in Times Square. We had some stimulating coversation then I remembered I had to "drop the kids off". I did so completley.
We made our way to the venue & got in, checked our coats & picked up our credentials. We got a nice table by the side of the stage. Easy access for me to move in & out. I shot the first song then shot from my seat. After Cray left the stage for his encore, I got my picture ready & peeked through the curtins. I said Mr. Cray, to get his attention. he looked over & one of the guys took my picture & gave it to Robert to sign. "All the best, Robert Cray".
I just have to get it signed by Buddy Guy now.
We said our goodbyes after a triuphant walk around Times Square & proceeded to drive home. We made a pit stop at Roy's for the second time that day for a needed rest. We ate, gased up & got on the road again. I was fading quickly. What Snaporte failed to mention was I was in New York the night before shooting Keller Williams & was cruising on 3 hours of sleep. What Snaporte doesn't know was his "jokes" & lyrics actually were putting me to sleep.
That's pretty much it. Leave it to me to fill in a few extra blanks. I should have saved it for my own blog. Hmmm
Yeah this isn't spider blues. this is C town. the point I was making is that you were going at warp speed with no rest. -C
you should have taken friday off like someone told you!
Rod almost missed the food taking so long to drop the kids off...
