My cousin Tangie, who works closely with the folks at the Hip Hop Summit Action Network, got my friend Veronica and I on the guest list for the hip hop inaugural ball. I expected to see Russel Simmons there, but had no idea LL Cool J, TI, Bow Wow, MC Lyte, Young Jeezy and Mario (singer) would be there. And best of all, Busta Rhymes performed.

Here’s photos I took with my iPhone. Not great quality, I know.

I can’t get enough of the hot dogs from Gray’s in New York. I could probably eat six in one sitting if I was hungry enough.

Plain, with ketchup. That’s it. And a papaya drink to wash it down. While I was there last weekend, I made it a point to catch a train that put me the closest to one of several “Papaya, Inc.” locations. It was way too cold to walk more than a couple blocks.
