Cool! Did you actually see Neil DeGrasse Tyson in person? Was Avenue Q as funny as people say it is?

We only saw Mr Tyson on film during the Hayden Planetarium show... he is director of it

Avenue Q WAS as funny and good as the people say.

Cellarizin' on the Amtrak. They have WiFi on the trains now but it's spotty.

I like how the pigeons are all "I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it, NO I CAN'T DO IT!"

Cool trip, UT!

The trip was amazing!

Our hotel room was on the 28th floor with a corner room view.

we ate at some really great places!

Like 5 Napkin Burger in Hell's Kitchen. I had the original 5 Napkin Burger - it was truly the best burger I've ever had.

Tony seemed to like it too!
