Kinky Boots, The Rockaways, Rockefeller Center, Central Park

So you know we always try for the lottery and once again we won!  Kinky Boots won everything a year ago and I must say that the guy who played the transvestite lead was fabulous.  I think he must have been the guy who won the Tony a year ago.

Here is the crew waiting to see who will win the Lottery.

We had read in the NY Times that the beach at the Rockaways was where there are art colonies, etc. so we took a ride out there on the subway.  It takes about an hour to get there.

The beach goes on for miles and there are maybe 8 subway stops along the way.  I believe it would be possible to have a great condo out there but there is no infrastructure that we could see except for another crappy beachtown frequented by beggers and bums.  Maybe they want it that way to hide what's really there.  What do I know?  But it's definitely hidden.

This is the Jeff Koons' flower sculpture in Rockefeller Center erected over the Prometheus statue.  This is the Summer of Jeff Koons.  They have devoted the entire Whitney Museum to him.  Look it up; what can I tell you.

This is in the window of the Legos store which is right on the plaza.  Lots of legos.

Can you imagine they are in the process of cleaning St. Patrick's.  The spires are finished.  What a difference!

 Ed wanted a picture of this motorcycle in a dress shop window.

This is the famous Bow Bridge designed by Vaux, Olmstead's partner.
