Coming up the FDR we were passed by a motorcade, about eight NYPD cruisers and a town car with the darkest windows you’ve ever seen. That kind of thing happen often down there? Hillary Clinton (with Bill standing by) was ceremonially sworn in as Senator by Al Gore in NYC Sunday morning. ---

This was later than that, Nemo, probably about 2:45 in the afternoon. It started just out of the tunnel (is there a heliport there?) and they got off at 42nd Street. I thought it might be a U.N. delegate or something. ---

That puts the Idiot in Chelsea. I also have this problem with SOHO Billiards on the N side of Houston) also note they are trying to rename Hells Kitchen Clinton. Not by me, I don’t rename. Interboro parkway, west side highway, etc. To be fair, if I go to DC, I fly into National. Not Reagan. ---

No, I won’t try to borrow money. However there is a very interesting proposition that you’ll find quite worthwhile that I’d like to discuss with you. It involves my friend Alex Chiu. **Hama:** Incoming! ---

I refuse to defend myself any more. I am shy. I am socially phobic. I had five beers. Item: I very rarely drink. Can we please draw our own conclusions? And believe me, all and sundry…I could have been a _ **lot** _ worse. As a footnote and more on-topic, I want to say that I was really pleased and warmed by how incredibly nice, friendly, and considerate everyone was. And no, I’m not kidding. I had been incredibly apprehensive about meeting all of y’all, and my worries were for naught. What a fantastic bunch of people. ---

Hey, all, just checking in to say that I had a great time even though I was only there from about 10:45 until 11:30. The Bobs/DaVinci’s Notebook concert rocked. Thereafter we went to Chumley’s to look for y’all. You weren’t there, but as long as we were, we had a beer. Then we met **Sua** and **Lux Fiat** outside the Village Idiot and knew we were in the right place. It was great to meet those who were hanging in: **Uke** , **manny** , **andygirl** , **vix** , **Billdo** , **Green Bean** , **Joe\_Cool** , etc. If only I had gotten there earlier - had to leave to relieve the babysitters (i.e., my folks). Next time I’m in for the whole deal. As long as I don’t have to wear JDT’s nametag. ---

Okay. The pages are UP! Well, they’re up with what I have right now. Not all of the pictures made it on for a couple of reasons. One, I did have some duplicates. And two, I promised Biggirl that I would do my best to keep her picture off the page. _smiles_ Anyway, it’s [here.](http://falcon1204.topcities.com/Dopefests/Nyc2000/nyc1.htm) Enjoy! ---
