What?s The Worst Thing You Can Do On 9/11?

Friday, 12 September 2008

Yesterday marked the 7th Anniversary of one of the nation's greatest tragedy's, September 11. And in years past, I've usually taken 9/11 as a day to remain low key, humble, go to the office and head home afterwards. It's just not the kind of day that inspires one to party in New York and spend a night on the town. But when a friend called me up at the last minute, telling me he had two tickets to see a Broadway show, well... I just couldn't turn him down. Even though my Mother always told me that singing and light tapping while people are in mourning is considered "uncouth", lord also knows I love a free show. Which is how, on September 11, 2008, I spent my evening...

At Legally Blonde: The Musical. (If it helps, I was wearing black... it doesn't, I know.) The strangest thing? I HAD A GREAT TIME. That's the true insult. (No, really, the show is great. No, I know you don't believe... frankly, I sort of don't believe me. But it's surprisingly irreverent!) Up ahead, find out which American Idol contestant we caught giving autographs! After the tragic festivities ended, we headed West for dinner and drinks... where we saw a commotion outside of the Grease backdoor. I elbowed a few teenagers out of the way to discover American Idol rejectee with a posh bob Ace Young signing autographs. Here is a blurry rendering of said event: ACE YOUNG PIC.jpg

Turns out... he's playing Kenekie! ACE YOUNG 2.jpg

Ace seemed like a very nice young man, but we noticed that he autographed people's Playbills with the date and his name, so that they read "9/11/08 Ace Young". Which makes one wonder... does he autograph the programs each evening with the date of the show? In which case, perhaps he should have refrained from that practice on 9/11? Or was that his little Sharpie tribute to our national tragedy? Who knew Ace Young would inspire so many questions? Finally, we ended our night on a rooftop in Hell's Kitchen, an appropriately named part of town that features what restaurants will look like in hell. It was here that I wanted to capture the mood of the skyline, replete with the two spotlights pointing towards the sky where the Twin Towers once stood. And without realizing it... I actually captured possibly the most moving Stella Artois ad of all time: Stelle Bottle.jpg

I don't even like beer, and I love this photo.
