It's September and my semester has begun!
(technically, as of tomorrow. . . I only survived orientation as of yet)
Orientation ended with a discussion and trip to the High Line
Below are a couple photos (with more to come further down)
After leaving the group to find lunch, Jac and I ran into a bit of Shepard Fairey street art, which was ironic because just the night before we watched Exit Through The Gift Shop, a documentary which was nominated for an Oscar.
It's the story of how an eccentric French shop keeper and amateur film maker
attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn
the camera back on its owner. The film contains footage of Banksy,
Shephard Fairey, Invader and many of the world's most infamous graffiti
artists at work.

We stumbled upon a delightful little Italian restaurant, Pepe Giallo, that blew our minds
 |
| most amazing alfredo. ever. |
On Saturday, Jac, Caroline & I went to a concert in Queens. This was my first excursion to Queens, and since GoogleMaps lead us on a wild subway chase, it was a less than desirable experience. However, once we were to our destination, fun ensued
 |
| Reggie Watts's fro is so impressive |
 |
| so many hipsters |
 |
| Small Black & Jac's face in my way |
Post show, we ran into this little gem
 |

On Sunday, Jac and I met up with a friend of hers from college and at brunch at La Grainne Cafe in Chelsea
 |
| bacon, tomato and sweet sausage omelette |
And then we toured the High Line fully
The High Line is a 1-mile New York City park built on a 1.45-mile section of the former elevated freight railroad spur called the West Side Line, which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan; it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway. The High Line Park currently runs from Gansevoort Street, one block below West 12th Street, in the Meatpacking District, up to 30th Street, through the neighborhood of Chelsea to the West Side Yard, near the Javits Convention Center.
