These streets will make you feel brand new.
I spent the last few days in New York for the Affiliate Summit conference. The speakers were great and I brought home some good ideas to move the biz forward with.
This was my third trip to the Big Apple in 13 months, and even though I’m a product of suburbia, I’m learning my way around the concrete jungle and having a good time doing it. Walking to the conference hotel in the morning with the crowded sidewalks and noisy streets and tall buildings and sticky humidity, it’s kind of a cool feeling, like you’re a part of something bigger.
Had the chance to check out the new Citi Field for a Met’s-Phillies game. It was really rainy, but it was ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball so they just kept adding sand to the field and played through.
I saw something I’ve never seen before in a big-league game — a ground-out to right field! The Phillies pitcher hit a sharp line drive to right, looking like a solid base hit, but Angel Pagan was playing shallow, fielded it quickly, and fired it to 1st for the out. It was awesome, what every right fielder dreams of, right? We actually had front row seats (in the upper deck), but as you can see from the umbrellas it was better up top under the overhang.
Cool stadium. Huge, but very vertically built so even way up top you’re still not too far from the action.
Other highlights of the trip included hanging out with friends old and new, late night pizza and street food, and seeing John Oliver from the Daily Show at the airport. Then it took 14 hrs to get home, LGA –> BWI –> DEN –> SFO, ugh.

Sounds like a good time and all. BWI? I thought I knew most of the airports!
