The weekend was very eventful and fun! Friday Night University of Delaware was in the national championships. We went to a bar that some UD alum own and there were alum of all ages from people in their 50s down to us who were still in college. We ended up losing by 1 point! We decided the next morning we were going to try to go for SNL. The process is tiring, tickets are free and handed out at 7am so you have to line up as early as possible if you want a chance. Many people camp out overnight, and as the host was Jim Carrey, people went all out. We hadn't chanced to bring our camping equipment to NYC so we went out at 5am. It was pretty cold at times but we had a lot of fun meeting people and dancing around to keep warm. Chock Full o' Nuts had a truck out there giving away free breakfast and hot drinks. We had our choice of a ticket for the dress rehearsal or the show. More people get accepted to the rehearsal and sometimes funnier things happen so we opted for that. After a McDonald's second breakfast we all slept for a few hours. When I awoke, Kelsey and I went to FIT to see the Japan fashion now exhibition. It was great! The Japanese innovate like no others. We headed back to NBC in the evening to await our fate. They always accept a different number of people each week. Our tickets were in the 70s. In the end they only took about 45-50 people so we got rejected! We were pretty bummed but it was so fun and we are going to try again. On Sunday, Justin came to the city and visited! We spent the morning shopping in Greenwich Village at American Apparel then had crepes for brunch. That evening we cooked an awesome dinner and visited our friend Sid Seed who works in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at Lifelong Friendship Society.
