The City to Home

Eight telecommunications students graduated from the University of South Florida in December of 2009. Now, they're in NYC pursuing 8 different internships with television stations and production companies. This blog is their story.


FROM THE CITY

Life at 42nd and Fame, sure is fabulous.

This weekend went by so quickly, as Jo, Chris and I roamed through the streets of Brooklyn looking like superstars. We befriended a small black child on the bus home from Ikea…. after only a short conversation the boy asked us if we were famous. He continued to tell us about his connections in the city, he’s close with The Ga, Nelly, 50 cent, among others. Before we parted ways, he looked deep into Chris’ eyes and said, “You really are going to be famous someday, I can tell.”

Team Fame also hooked up with the Chelsea crew this weekend, to experience a little happy hour in the city. We ventured to Mr.Biggs for half off apps and drinks. Chris ordered a cosmo, because he’s a ______ (you fill in the blank.)

We then traveled to one of the cities most disturbing bars, Rudy’s. Upon entering, you are given the up-down by a large creepy bouncer, who apparently intends to check you out, flirt with you, and probably consider raping you throughout the entire night. Luckily we made it out unscathed - you can see a picture of the creeptastic man in the background of one of the photos above.

By the time 10 o’clock hit, us superstars had had enough, and headed back to 42nd and fame to check out for the night.

The rest of our weekend involved a late-night outing, free shots, drunken extravaganza-ing, meeting nick’s friend….who’s jacket caught on fire inside a bar, dancing, forcing random bargoer’s to play juke box songs of our choosing (aka. lady gaga,) having nicks friend knock my beer out of my hand and smash it on the ground, and a slew of other delightful events.

Pics of our new and improved, furniture filled apartment are coming soon.

AND

This weekend FAME is going to have our first house guest… Ben Mauch, photog from Fox 13. He will be sleeping in our living room starting Friday night… this should be an interesting weekend.

FURTHERMORE! :) It’s J.Stone’s birthday this Friday, so there should be a plethora of excitement.

Stay tuned.

Love you HOMEies
