Tonight we had a tornado watch out for all of NYC – the skies were ominous

A fast & furious Summer Storm ploughed through NYC driving home stronger than ever that the infrastructure of the NYC Subways has a bit to be desired. The following photos & videos are from 34th Street, Penn Station after only 20 minute of rainfall … you do the math 🙂

I have a habit of snapping shots of NYC signage – this was my favourite of the day – right in my laundry room 🙂

My favourite feedback of the day from a guy who didin’t talk…he got my heart with this ♥ (excuse the blurry train pic – lotta movement on the #1 🙂

Ok – now that I’ve braved the train cars, I’ve got my ‘train legs’ down, I’ve only popped myself once in the face w/tuning pegs of my guitar & have mastered the vibe/rhythm of playing the trains, but the one thing I’ve yet to figure out is how, when I’m playing guitar & singing, I can finagle dollars people wave at me before the tune is done…I think I need a busking sherpa 🙂

I get a lot of mail re The Subway Diaries – but a hand written note on Birch Bark is a first! 🙂 Love it! <3

My friend & friend & busker Cathy Grier braved the cold prior to me …

Followed by me ….

Then of course, there’s…Waldo – in case you’re wonderin’ where he’s been hiding – it’s the NFL Store on 6th 🙂
