Arriving in New York on the Friday evening. I'm staying at a hotel at Madison Square Garden, where traffic and party life is producing a constant fire work of lights and colour.
Lots of people in the streets looking for a party night out in town.
I'm quite tirad arter time chargé and traveling so I look forward to see my hotel rom. In the hotel there's a long que of people chicking in, it tok me 1 hur to get a rom! Karin and Maria who arrived earlier also had to stand in que for 1 hour...
Finally, a room, a really big room, with heavy metal door from the last century, lots of vintage feeling, I hope the dirt in the corners not has stayed there that long….
Good enough I manage to sleep a full night so today we have started the hectic work of making contacts and finding people we want to connect with here at the giant confeerens of APAP. Lets go for it!
Irmelin has also made an excellent first rehearsal and we are so much looking forward to do our show case and present our music. We think we will do a great performance!
Cool, you have such good weather.
SvaraRaderaAnd so warm, almost like swedish summer :-)
SvaraRaderaInteresting! We stayed in the very same hotel in 2008 and were impressed by the wall paintings in the lobby. Our room hold two framed paintings. They were identical!
SvaraRaderaInteresting to stay there too for the mere fact of being in the hotel of Benny Goodman´s "Pennsylvania 6-5000. Remembering him from his concert in Moscow in 1962. Unprecedented jazz tour of the Soviet Union under the auspices of U.S. State Department Cultural Exchange Program. Six-week visit highlighted by celebrated “debate” with Nikita Khrushchev, with Benny defending modern art and music.Nikita with wife and I attended his Moscow concert.:)
