Sounds good. Hopefully the weather holds up. I can’t even imagine how many people will be there, last year was ridiculous so I figure there will be a whole lot more this year.

Ugh, I wish I could get off from work tomorrow. I might try to sneak off early but getting from work to Manhattan will take an hour at least; if only it was today when nobody would have noticed if I didn’t come back after lunch…
