My Kid Went To New York and I'll Got Was A T-Shirt ......

This past week,Erich,the Younger,put on his vagabond shoes and went on a little vacation to New York City.The Big Apple.The City.New Yawk.The city that doesn't sleep.........

One of their excursions was to Central Park,to see Strawberry Fields.

And he got me a t-shirt! They also went to the NBC Store,and.........

he got me a t-shirt!
(note-You have to be a fan of The Office,to get this shirt.)
Prior to their trip,they had applied on-line for tickets to The Letterman Show,in the hope they could tickets.(Turns our you can only get tickets by applying on-line.Sort of a lottery thing,I guess).They got the call the Saturday before they left,and they were offered tickets for Wednesday or Thursday.They took Wednesday,not knowing who the guests were going to be.
Turns out,it was ...........
Sir Paul!!!!
(That's how close they were!)
Because they had tickets to the show(eighth row center,I might add),they were ushered outside,and got to stand right under the marquee where Sir Paul performed!
Crap!
My kid leads a more exciting life than us!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember the first time the Beatles were on The Ed Sullivan Show!

Wow---looks like they had a fabulous trip to the Big Apple. I always wanted to go to the Carson Show but never got out there. I NEVER missed Johnny Carson--but don't watch Letterman. (Shows my age I guess!!! ha)

Great T-shirts... George and I collect t-shirts when we travel.

Hugs,
Betsy

Love the Imagine t shirt. My daughter took a picture of my grandson, Noah, when he was about 8 months old, sitting next to that Imagine sign in Central park and holding a rose. Very neat.

Loved the fact that your guy got to see Paul. Wow.

I remember the first time I saw the Beatles. . . Paul & I were both a lot younger then. Sigh.
