This is what the lines looked like at the Manhattan Apple stores all weekend.

The release of the iPhone 3G

Although I really wanted to buy mine from the 5th ave Apple store I wasn’t about to wait in line for 6 hours. Kim and I decided to hit the AT&T store instead which only had a 45 minute wait.  Some old dude walked up and asked, “What is the purpose of this line?” to which someone answered, “The new iPhone,” and he goes, “You’re waiting on a phone with an eye in it?”  Which everyone in line thought was really funny.  I ended up getting the 2nd to last iPhone that they had in stock.  There were some angry customers in line behind us which was pretty sweet.  FYI if you don’t have a free upgrade available on your account, the 8 gig iPhone cost $400 as usual.  I think the Apple advertisements were kind of mis-leading.  Oh and if you’re planning on buying two phones you’ll need two people present.

Kim, Aaron, and I then met up with some friends at the Bowery Hotel for a free show with open bar.

A friend of ours was playing a show sponsored by Belvedere vodka.  After several vodka martinis Aaron split off to hit another bar with our buddy Hugh from The Wildbirds and Kim and I went with Frank and Paris to grab some awesome pizza at Lombardi’s.

Just before that though we found a friendly pigeon on the sidewalk.

Either friendly or sick.  We may now have the bird flu.
