Tonight: free tickets to "The 39 Steps;" being asked if we wanted to hear someone make chicken sounds as we were en route to McSorley's; free beer at McSorley's; talked about Canada, Chicago, Ireland, and Alaska at McSorley's; asked repeatedly where I am from (people usually guess Germany for some reason); ate a nutella and peanut butter crepe prepared by a guy from Israel and a guy from Egypt, more talk of travel was had; read "Empire Falls" on the subway. Now, spinning in a yellow dress and drinking cherry beer. It is a good night.
