ahahaha, so true on the wisecrack part! like, i was in new your for literally an hour (on highline, between two airports as a part of my great kansas adventure (http://egelantier.livejournal.com/129433.html)), and here i go, hauling a backpack twice bigger than me and making photos on an ipad and kinda dying, and the random lady passerby just, like, snickers at me and goes 'isn't this thing kinda heavy?'

YOU BET.

(highline was so prettyyyy. and all the red-bricked buildings. and random lgbt flag winking at me from one of the windows. and the river. and all the people, and crazy hair, and this one dude who promised to dramatically read shakespeare on request).
