MOMA and Roller-Dancing

Well the past few days have been pretty busy so here is a quick update of the highlights:

On Friday I went with my friend Corwin to the Museum of Modern Art (which is free on Friday's after 4).  We made it through the top three floors (including lots of Dali, Picasso, Warhol, Miro, and many many others) and then decided considering we live here, we would come back for the rest.  It's nice to have that option considering the top three floors of MOMA is really the half way point.

Saturday I went to Central Park with a few friends and was introduced to the wonderful world of roller-dancing.  It might be my favorite thing about New York so far.  For those of you like me who did not know what this is, roller-dancing is exactly what it sounds like- dancing around on roller skates.  It seems to be best preformed in elaborate costumes... bonus points if you incorporate hats and/or live animals.  People of all ages participate and are obviously in great shape and surprisingly agile (as can be seen in the photos).  We think these people have more fun than anyone else in the city.  We have plans to acquire costumes and skates and join the party with Devan (Elyssa's sister) for her birthday that is coming up.  Stay tuned for that post.  Meanwhile I tried to get a few photos of it for everyone to see, but I forgot my camera so forgive the quality as this is from my phone.  Also here is a link to a video that gives you an idea of what goes on.
