So my ladyfriend and I did the diabetes walk yesterday, as we both have a fair number of family members that are affected by this. All in all, it was a quick and easy five miles and they gave us lots of snacks. The walk was basically just from the South Street Seaport up to the Brooklyn Bridge, over the bridge, around the courthouse, and back. We both took a great deal of amusement at the number of guides positioned on the other side of the bridge, basically at every corner, to make sure timid Manhattanites didn't get lost in the "horror" of downtown Brooklyn. But hands down the funniest bit of the day occured when we were walking back.
Being the impatient NYC-ers that we are, we didn't wait for the starting gun, but instead just started walking. This meant that we were coming back over the Brooklyn Bridge just as the bulk of the walkers were heading over. Standing in the middle of the observation deck at the midpoint of the bridge was a smallish camera crew. The object of what they were shooting was standing a few feet away; a perma-tanned russian girl in booty shorts and a frilly top. She was standing on top of an equipment case and attempting to lip synch through whatever bad euro-tech song she was trying to shoot a video for...however, niether her nor her crew seemed to be aware that today might have been a bad day to shoot a video on the bridge. The waves of people coming over the bridge seemed to terrify her and annoy the camera crew to no end. I didn't even make an effort to not step in front of the camera when I passed...cause seriously...fuck those guys.
Anyway, Pink Floyd doing an instrumental from Dark Side...either you like it or you don't.
