Epyon Visits the Big Apple

[Wondermonkey]

So, as many of you know from Ep playing split screen on this Friday's FF, he came out to the city to visit all the great sites for the first time. Today, he's back up in the city for last time before his flight back home.

Crip came down on Friday night for some dinner & skinny dipping with Gary, and wound up sleeping in the bathub. I told him he didn't have to fill it with water but he did anyway.

Anyway, Saturday we saw everything from The Brooklyn Bridge to the NY Public Library to the Empire State Building to the 5th Ave Apple Store. I have to say, it was really weird doing touristy things because normally that's what you try to avoid up there, but it was actually fun. Some of the places I hadn't been back to since I was 6 or 7.

Here are some pics, for any interested. I'm sure Epyon has many more.

Now we know the real cause of that steam pipe bursting... LOL glad you had fun in NYC - never been myself, but since you put up the pics, I feel like a true NYC native (I even have an accent now)!

Awesome!

And wtf is up with Crippler smiling?!

I bet you could count how many times he smiled during that trip on one hand.

I thought the same thing Jon - I wonder where wondermonkey's right hand is to make Crippler smile like that?!?

Dang, I wish I was closer, I totally would have come over and hung out. Looks like good times!

Wow, Wondermonkey! Nowhere in Epyon's list of places visited do I see a mention of visiting your place. Guess nothing about it wasn't memorable. That's too bad. All that hard work Dangerkitty put into that meal, and not even an honorable mention?

Damn, you're lazy! Sounds like a cool trip, man.

I did see a lot. Not all of it up close, but close enough for me. The beauty of Manhattan is that there is so much so close together. The downside of Manhattan is that there is so much so close together.

I took over 350 photos and I managed to trip it down to 63. I wanted to do a smaller set of the best photos (like around 15 or so), but I just can't do it.

So here is the collection of photos that I took:

New York City 7/20 - 7/22

And I can't say enough about the hospitality extended to me from Wonder and Danger. The trip wouldn't have been anywhere near as fantastic without them. And of course, I can't fail to mention Crippler's company. Shame he could only be around Friday night.

Sounds and looks like it was a blast!! I can't wait to get back to NY, it is a great city to visit. Hopefully, next year we will try to go there.

It's universal good luck. That's why the weather was absolutely perfect for ep's trip.

Favorite picture so far from Epyon:

Great photos Ep!! What in the world did Danger feed Crippler that he was smiling the entire time he was there?!?!

[AlphaQ GehaD]

I agree with monkey 110% that has to be the best picture in the set....Post more CRIP PICS NOT TRIP PICS! haha J/k, good to see you had a wonderful time, Next time you should come to SF and then everytime you take a picture some where in the backgound you will see something crazy. usually a Bum doing something...like giving candy to the kids.

I know right? If it wasn't Crippler I may be worried about what she was giving to him. We haven't smoked weed since college, so I'm thinking the brownies were NOT laced. You know what it was? The iPhone... It just makes you happy!
