I HEART NY!!!!
Alesia, from New York...
So, I hate to be a gushing tourist, but I love this city. I flew in Tuesday to do a little socializing with my editors and a lot of fun stuff with friends and it’s fabulous, fabulous, FABULOUS!!
Well, except for the crack deal in progress we walked by the first night, but hey – minor inconvenience, right?
Plus, I have two new book deals and a new appreciation for NY taxi drivers . . .
We saw WICKED (2nd time for me) and it is truly one of the best shows I’ve ever seen; even the second time around. You must see it – must. Plus, read the book by Gregory Maguire – it’s terrific in a very dark and funny way. The idea of the Wizard of Oz from the Point of view of the wicked witch is brilliant: “What kind of child steals shoes from a dead woman???”
We also went to MOVING OUT – the musical with all Billy Joel music and unbelievably hot dancers. With large thigh muscles. And great butts. And amazing abs. And, did I mention the thigh muscles?
Oh, yeah. I think there were women dancers, too.
I’m only hoping that all the walking I did cancels out the enormous amounts of food I consumed, or my new personal trainer is going to keel over in shock Monday at our first appointment, for the Dreaded Body Fat Analysis.
Did I mention those dancers and their thigh muscles???
Off to NJ and a writers’ conference – hope to see many of you there.

I'd be terrified to go around without a native New Yorker to guide me. Sounds wildly exciting, though. :D
