New York State of Mind

[tropicsgoddess]

***UPDATE****

Got internet at the house setup (we plugged in an extension cord to SO's truck since he has a power inverter to register the modem), but we're waiting to get the water and electric turned on, which should be tomorrow. The only bummer is now I found out today that I got laid off from my at home Web Chat Agent job (which was originally my second then my sole job after I left Florida) since the hours were reduced and they had to cut people. Been hitting the ads online and whatnot to get work. As of Wednesday, we got the power and water turned on. Still hitting up ads for work.

**UPDATE**

I'm in New York! I'll be offline for a bit since I'll be setting up shop!

TG, let us know when you've settled - I'd love to put together a meetup for all of us Albany-area people.

Count me in for the Albany Area Meetup (when and if it occurs)

Definitely will! Tomorrow is the big day we'll be shipping out to NY!

For you, Alicia Keys "Empire State of Mind (Part 2)" (live version).
(although I prefer THIS VERSION... )

Both are awesome! I remember watching that ep on Colbert Report and she performed with him!

Nah you want this....the actual song "new york state of mind"

When I worked at the Italian Restaurant/Lounge, our main house band would perform this as their closing act (a lot of Italian New Yorkers that were 40+ crowd were our customers and they loved it!). This song is what I was referring to with my thread title. The Alicia Keys and Billy Joel versions each are awesome,especially live! Only a few more days till the big move!

***UPDATE***

Saturday the 30th was my last day at my (now former ) job. My team threw me a surprise going away party. As of yesterday, I sold my car. I sold it to a friend/ex co-worker C who was in need of a car. She was ecstatic and I was happy with how it all went down. The price was fair on both sides and both sides were happy. Now onto cleaning, packing and GTFO dodge!

I second the motion of a meetup!...NYC anyone? (or somewhere in the middle)

[KiaKat]

Another Albany-ish area member here! Though I'm more Catskills/HV than Capital District...

We should have a meetup...

[Chazzie]

Welcome to my home state! We have some pretty cool people up here if I do say so myself. Central New Yorker over here.

Make sure to bring a good coat!

I got that covered (no pun intended) and good crocheted scarves made my yours truly for the 3 of us (me, SO and MIL).
