New York, New York!

[mijan]

Start spreadin' the news, I'm leaving today...

So, I'm going to be going down to New York City and northern New Jersey this weekend. My sister, who performs in musicals, is entering a competition based on the Broadway musical "Wicked". It's a singing competition for people aged 24 and under (damn it, I'm 25!), and the contestants will be singing one-minute selections from the play. We're doing the competition on Saturday afternoon, and then we're going into NYC proper on Sunday afternoon to see "Rent" on Broadway. My sister is treating me to a ticket, matinee showing.

I'm extremely excited... but there's one problem. I can not possibly afford the hotel prices around there. I was wondering if there's anyone who reads my LJ who lives in the region of NYC (within an hour of the city) and has a spare sofa or piece of floor where I could crash for the night? I'm very sweet, I do dishes, and I promise I won't shed on the carpet!

Also, even if you don't have space, but would like to maybe get together for coffee, to hang out, or just SQUEE over fandom stuff, I'm not going to be busy nonstop. Basically, aside from the competition and the play, I'm going to be a freebird in NYC for the weekend. Anyone want to get together?

So, if you can possibly play host to an overnight guest (or two), please let me know. I shall even come bearing a gift of a handcarved wand, and my sister crochets beautiful HP House scarves... not that I can technically volunteer her services...

Please let me know?

We have a dog here, used to have a cat, own a horse, and over the years have had more cats, mice, rats, gerbils, hampsters, birds, ginuea pigs, squirrels, snakes, fish... pets are not a problem! In fact, animals make me muchly happy! As long as you can handle my craziness (I swear, I'm sane... just a bit hyper), it ought to be a blast!

Let me call my sister and find out if she's cool with everything. We found a possible place at an Econo Lodge, but that's still money I really can't afford, and honestly... I don't trust hotels, no matter how many stars.

And SQUEEE! Halloween party! Shall I dress as Harry? I've got a costume! And my sister makes a grand Trelawney.

Send me an e-mail at jedi_mijan@yahoo.com, and we can figure out details... and if my sister's game (which I think she will be), I'll cancel the Econo Lodge (which would make me happy). Do you have a place to park?
