So it's Friday night and my homosexual boss (he likes the penis in all seriousness) calls me up and says, "Hey, what are you doing tomorrow? Wanna go to NYC with me and my grandparents to go see Andre Rieu?" I've never been to NYC before and I couldn't pass this up.

So I leave at 2pm on Saturday and we get in NYC around 4:30ish. It was incredible. I never saw anything like it, Philly doesn't compare to the size at all. We went and got vallet parking at the Marriott Marquis Hotel (I think it cost like $43 for 12 hours or so). We went upstairs and ate dinner at "The View". It rotates 360 degrees every 45mins or so. The food was good, but not worth $50 a head. Meh, maybe it's just me and my cheapness.

Then we walked over to Radiocity and saw Andre Rieu, a world famous violinist that has been on PBS numerous times.

They were taping it for another PBS special and the camera man dude was on my boss and a numerous times happy:

I thought the show would be kinda boring since it's classical waltzs for 3 hours but it was great because he played some jazz stuff with his orchestra and then he brought in a 5 year old violinist. The kid was un-fucking-believable! He then comes out and sings a duet with a soprano singer! Amazing kid...wonder what he'll be like when he's 25. There was this really hot soprano soloist too rock: Then they brought out the Harlem Chorus which was AMAZING. It was a lot of fun and not boring/dull at all.

The tickets were worth $250 each (we were like maybe 75ft or so from stage). My boss has these crazy connections in all types of businesses too. He sells jewelry to the manager for Madison Square Garden and he got these tickets for $20 each two weeks before. He told me that the people in the first 5 rows or so paid $10,000 a head! Of course it was a donation to PBS but still...that better have been the best time of their lives.

So when you see Andre Rieu on PBS I may be on TV a few times
