On Friday September 19, 2008, Tom Morello (guitarist for Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave) was interviewed at the Wall Street Journal Cafe followed by a performance where he played two of his songs off his latest solo album titled “The Fabled City”. Being my all time favorite guitarist it was an incredible surprise to find out that he was going to be in the building and floor that I work in. I’ve seen audio slave twice in concert while standing right in front both times but I don’t think anything can top this. Take a look at the videos and photos(coming soon) from Tom Morello live at WSJ cafe.
You can see me on the lower left during both performances when the camera pans around the room.
On Saturday March 29th, we went to the Jacobs Javits Center to see the latest rides at the New York International Auto Show. This was the first time we attended the show. We are not car enthusiast but we enjoyed what was on display. It was a good show which featured some of the hottest cars that will soon hit the streets. The only down part was the massive crowd. It was very difficult to move around at times. Despite this, we had a great time and look foward to it next year. Click the image below for more pics.
On July 20-23, we went on our first trip after our honeymoon to the Poconos. Ashley’s parents own a house there in the community of Saw Creek. One of the activities which we did while there was to take a trip out to Bushkill Falls. We took a trail through the woods and saw many of the beautiful waterfalls located here. A highlight of the trip was when Ashley decided to go off the trail and walk down a very slippery and narrow cliff. This was somewhat dangerous but she did not let fear stop her. As we both went to the edge of the cliff we had a better top view of one of these waterfalls. The trail was said to be 2 hours and 30 minutes but we completed it in 1 hour and 45 minutes. This was also the longest trail in Bushkill Falls. Another note of our trip was right before we left to go back to NY, a deer was taking a nap right in front of our car. I had to be careful just in case it was an ambush and his boys were waiting around the corner for me. I managed to take a few photos of the deer and one of his friends that was around the corner right before they ran off. Overall, we had a great time and it was good to take a break from day to day New York City life. Click on the photo below to view some of our photos.
The Simpson’s is the longest running cartoon series ever. All of us have our favorite episodes or Simpson’s moments. Years later they decide to make a Simpson Movie and Seven Eleven has done one really cool promotion for it. After hearing that several Seven Eleven’s in the country have been turned into Quick E Mart’s, I had to grab my camera and go check this out for myself. If you have a few minutes to kill, go over to 42nd St and 8th Ave to see this really cool promotion. In the mean time, check out the photos for yourself.
I know it has been more than a month since we have come back from our honeymoon and it has taken a long time for us to post our photos. However, we had some trouble locating the cable to upload our photos to our pc. Ooops:) With that said, Paris was great. We had such a good time and were amazed by the amount of architectural detail throughout the city. This was Ashley’s second time there and my first. We stayed at the hotel Du Louvre which is located right next to the famous museum Du Louvre. Several places which we visited where Du Louvre museum, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, The Arch De Triumph, Versailles and many other local spots. One of the higlights of our trip was having dinner high up in the Eiffel Tower. The food was great and the view was fantastic. Paris is a very beautiful city which you will see by looking at our photos. Feel free to let us know what you think by leaving us some comments. Enjoy.
The big day was on May 25th 2007. We had such a great time and would like to share with you our photos from this very speacial occasion.
