As some of you know I went to the draft. In my blog I documented my journey of entering Radio City Music Hall. I'll love to hear some feedback. I'll get up the other parts later.

Every year during the NFL Draft it was the same old story for me: I would become a couch potato for both days; dislike most of the Giants

Hey man great stuff. Me and some friends were actually planning on making the trip to NY this year but decided to postpone it for next year.
Probably spend the Thursday night cruising New York and some Friday. But damn didn't think you'd have to get there 2:30 AM. Is it really that packed?

My journey of Day 2 is now up. Sorry for being a day late.

No lie, I got there a little before 3 a.m. and there was already a line, I had found out that people started lining up at 8 p.m. the previous day. Very, very long wait but this year was the second year in a row I went and it is without a doubt worth the wait. It is such a great experience and hopefully they keep it in New York. And to the person that postponed it til next year that might have been a mistake because from what I hear the lease at Radio City Music Hall for the draft is up and there are rumors they want to give the draft a try in a different state.

I have been trying to look it up lately but have had no luck finding it. I'll email some people and if I can find out anything I'll let you know. But if it is in NY next year definitely go.
