Anyho, I spent labor day weekend in New York City for "My friend" Adam's cousin's wedding. Most of his family there hadnt seen him in decades, and since I was his date, we got a lot of funny looks. Worse than that he always introduced me as "My friend Ben." And that screams Gay. After deciding that I was the pitcher for his baseball team, we attempted to enjoy the wedding which had awesome food (sushi apps, fancy fish mush and caviar hor dourvs, and sea bass dinner). It was kinda...no...really tacky though in other ways. Imagine the worse bar/bat mitzazh music there is, that that was played. To illustrate, I think we lost count of the Fiddler on the Roof mentions/theme after 4 times. The music was so tacky not even after Adam had gotten his date a couple of glasses of wine, would I dance.
I arrived in NYC to a broken down hostel at 5am, had to go through 3 showers before I found one that worked, and walked the 3 miles to Adam's hotel only to find that they havent even woken up yet. So I wasted 1 more hour and finally decided to wake them as the wedding was an hour away.
The wedding itself was kinda dry and being, to most of them, there cousins or nephew Gay date, not many people chatted with me. The Bride was a beautiful and skinny girl, and the Groom was some Lehman VP or something that reminded me and Adam of the Skinney white guy in the movie "road trip" or "the new guy". Sorry, no pictures of him. He walked down the Aisle to "eye of the tiger." Pretty tacky if you ask me. And no you didnt ask me, but I'm stil going to tell you what I thought anyway.
Each table had like 4 wine glass settings per person, so it looked like we were all a bunch of Alcholics. And some old guy had the jacket that I wanted to have for my cousins wedding next month. Pretty cool for a bearded old jew and a really conservative wedding.
Anyho, I had fun with Danielle (Adams sister) and Yams (his Moms)and can see now where his genetics come from. His sister is like a female tattoo'd version of him. Scary...(not her per se..well maybe a little...but more the similarities between them I was referencing here). Anyho, Adam and I partied it up. I didnt get mugged/beaten/chased at all. Just a crazy old lady tring to hit me with her walking stick because I crossed the road while the signal said not too. She yelled at me good. Overall good time had by all (I hope) hangin with the Heyman Family.
And now Adam is heading for Afghanistan, where I am sure he will be many other guys to be "his friend" as long as he doesnt ask or tell..nudge nudge wink wink....
