filia_belialis made a day trip to NYC today and we met up for shenanigans. It was madness. MADNESS I TELL YOU. I do plan to write a full LJ post about today, or possibly a novel, to take advantage of all the beautiful parallel structure and symbolic shit that went down... but just in case inertia takes over, I just wanna throw it out there that although we got off to a slow start wandering aimlessly in the rain and fangirling in a Greenwich Village café, before long we were almost getting arrested for trespassing on rooftops, I spent the better part of an hour choking in a disgustingly posh café in Little Italy and horrifying the patrons as

Three hours and several subway lines away from where we'd last met.
