touring fangirl
So I will be in NYC June 12-June 17. The purpose of my journey is: fangirl (verb, intransitive).
I am interested in hanging out with my friends and making new fannish friends! Therefore, if you live somewhere reachable by the subway system, I am willing to come to you. If you live somewhere withing a day trip of the city and there's something you wanna do (like hang out with me! or go to a museum or see a show or something social with me!) you could come to me.
I have this vague idea about rereading So You Want to Be a Wizard and recreating Nita and Kit's Ordeal (hopefully without actually changing universes). This might be a multi-day endeavor, or I could just be overly optimistic, given the amount of time I spent communing with my laptop on![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
grey_bard's couch when last I visited. Also probably I should just acquire braces for all my joints now and bring them with me pre-emptively.
More realistic and concrete plans include going out to Coney Island to go to the beach, as I live in a landlocked location but am part selkie on my mother's side and cannot resist the call of the sea.
I am interested in (but last time failed to make plans I followed through on regarding) MoMA, the Guggenheim, visiting the New York Public Library on a day when it is open (last time I managed to go by on July 4th, which is, in fact, a national holiday, when libraries are closed), Paley Center, probably many other historical sites or museums I have not heard of. I will probably visit one of these this time (maybe two, I'm pretty sure the library is somewhere on the Ordeal walking tour).
I will almost certainly spend at least part of one day in Central Park.
Also I am interested in food. I like many kinds of food. I like trying new foods. New York is a great place for this and hey yeah. I also like trying new drinks and would not mind getting medium trashed one night of my trip if a few people knew a good place for that and wanted to hang with me for that ("medium trashed" = walking a bit wobbly, I love people, I may be interested in snuggling other interested parties).
I might like to go see some form of live entertainment (theatrical, musical, burlesque, who knows). Maybe!
But: fannish people. I totally want to hang out with you and meet more of you. You should say hi if any of the above sounds like cool stuff to do! And like, look, I kind of fail at keeping in touch with people, so even if it's been years since we've talked, if you wanna meet up I would be excited for it! Even if we've never really talked personally, just been on each other's reading lists, I would be excited for it! Like, don't think this invitation is just for my besties. This is for everyone I have conceivably run across in fandom like, ever. I am totally serious, I want to hang out with you.
Fair warning: I might talk about Teen Wolf.
