i bought a plane ticket for a week-long trip to new york/new jersey next month. my girlfriend and i are heading out to the east coast to visit her aunt and grandmother. we've got free room and board at her aunt's place in brooklyn, so i'm excited about putting money that would have gone towards a hotel into a decent meal and a savings account instead. never been to the east coast, so i'm looking forward to being completely overwhelmed. any suggestions for must see/do activities or locations?
also, one of the three downtown music stores is going out of business. they were selling everything 50% for the last 3 weeks, so i promised myself i wouldn't go in and spend money i don't need to spend. (un)fortunately i covered a couple of shifts for some coworkers and fooled myself into going to check it out since tomorrow is the store's last day in business. fifteen minutes later i walked out with a 1/2 size violin...talked the owner down to $80 for the violin, bow, and a case he said was worth $90. i came home and checked the retail on the violin and it is around $450 used...guess i better start learning how to play.

haha yeah perth isn't much of a city.... but for the last 12 months i was living maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=norseman,+wa&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=34.808514,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Norseman+Western+Australia,+Australia&t=h&z=8 here, in a place called norseman, which is a town of only about 650 people. so yeah perth feels nice for a change.

i had a dream last night that i took a small bus from the east coast of australia to perth. the dream ended somewhere in the middle after a few days of riding.
