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.

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?

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.
