    I arrived at the designated meet-up location in front of the Shake Shack at 1 pm, but didn't see Monique. There were so many people in front of the Shack- I asked a couple of small groups if they were with the Ex-Southerners and they all said no. I had Monique's phone number but didn't even try to call her as I couldn't have heard anything on my phone because of the loud music from the live band playing right next to the Shack. So, I just walked around a bit, and walked down Madison Ave from 14th to 17 th to see about getting some BBQ and the lines for each BBQ stand were each about half a block long---seems like all of New York was there to eat some BBQ. I decided I wasn't going to stand in line for an hour to get something to eat, so I just came on home. The event was way too crowded and the lines were incredibly long. So, I don't think I will be going to it next year.

    I was 15 or 20 minutes late and I didn't remember to copy the phone number, so I didn't meet anyone from New York Southerners...but what a party!

    Sasha thinks she's cute and takes all the attention. If she wasn't a dog, I would have to hate on her.
