I love this city for a couple of reasons, first is because I spent two years of my life serving these great people and the second reason is that I love the atmosphere of the city life. Everyone is always doing something and it is the city that never sleeps, literally. I keep telling Mandy that I could live here, but it would be hard with three kids. Don't worry grandparents it's not going to happen, but if the right opportunity came around, you just never know. 
One Saturday night we went downtown all dressed up ready to go clubbing. We had heard about a couple of clubs that were pretty cool. The first club that we were going to go to was closed for some reason. So we drove around looking for some more clubs. We found another cool club dropped the girls off, and had to go and park the cars about 1/2 mile away of course unless you want to pay $65 dollars to have your parked in a parking structure. This picture is right outside of Club One, it was so fun! Right after we left the club, there was a bar fight that ended up in the street. We all watched guys and girls hitting, kicking and pulling hair. NYC police was trying to drive in to break it up, but because of all the taxis that wouldn't move the fight had to stop on its own. It was crazy. In the picture from left to right is Spencer Carlson, Me, Ryan Starks, Justin Bankhead, Taylor Dame and Jared Kalama.
After the bar fight, we decided to get something to eat. There was this pizza roach coach van parked down the street. We were all really hungry, and needed a break from clubbing for a minute. The ladies all dressed up to. Simi is Jared's fiancee and then you have Mandy and Courtney Bankhead.
Nothing like a NY pie! It was really good pizza from a guy that was making pizza in a small van on the side of the road. After we ate pizza, Mandy and Courtney wanted to go home, at this point is was about 4am. Luckily we drove two cars. So we told the girls where we had parked the car, gave them cash for a cab ride to the car, but the car was not where we told them it was. It was one street over. So Mandy and Courtney walked up and down the street we told them where the car was for about 20 minutes bare foot. Their shoes were really hurting them. They finally found the car one more street over, and headed home.As for the rest of us, we weren't quite ready to go. So we went to another club for the rest of the night and into the morning. Ryan Starks is a smooth talker and got us in. We didn't leave the club until 6 am. When we walked out the sun was almost up. We didn't get home until 8 am. It was a really fun night, but I don't know how people can do that night after night. Next NY trip we are for sure just going to go site seeing or see a show.
