Back with another 25K steps on Friday as the city starts to heat up for summer. The vibe around school was electric as it was our last Friday of the year (3 more half days next week). I hung around for a few hours to shoot the shit and clean up a bit around the classroom. But around 4 pm, I got word from my partner that Sammy Virji was going to do a popup in Times Square ahead of his big show in Queens on Saturday.
I high-tailed it home, cleaned up, and headed out to the center of Manhattan with my gorgeous dance babe to take on the throngs of crowds that typically gather for these last-minute free shows. When we got there a few minutes before the start time of 6 pm, the crowd was just starting to thicken up behind the rear speakers. Who even knows how early the people on the rails staked out their spots?!
The super fun, energetic UK Garage set from the international DJ Sammy Virji had the crowd grooving on an overcast Friday evening. After the hour-long set, we met up with my Dad and brother, who were stuck in the city after getting their flight to Israel canceled because of the Iran nuclear strike. We enjoy a delicious spread of sushi and small plates before we headed back to Brooklyn tired and full.
Things are trending in the right direction now that I'm getting back in the rhythm of making time to post each day. Lord knows I need these big step numbers to get back in the right direction on that yearly step leaderboard. I had been slipping with nearly 30 days on the sidelines without a post. Definitely not letting these big days get away from me! Until next time...
