Coney Island Circus


A little before noon, we hopped in a macaroni cab...
me, meredith
...and headed crosstown to the UCB Theater.
Stopped for a quick slice.

Love you, buddy.
Afterwards, we met up with...
christina l, jared, jeet
...Jared, Gurj and Christina and took the subway out to Coney Island because someone had gotten tickets to see the circus while it was visiting.

Gurj noticed that the muy guapo hombre in the verizon ad...
...couldn't keep his smoldering eyes off of her.
jeet, meredith
I smolder for you.
This is what you see when the subway hits the end of the line at Coney Island. Awesome.
Worse fire escape ever.
Right off the subway is the corner of Stillwell & Surf...
...treats abound!
Nathan's.
Line of people waiting to get their sandy feet sprayed clean by a hose-wielding parks department employee.

Awesome clouds and rays of light over the beach.
A little before 4pm, we left the boardwalk and when off in search of the circus.
Big top spotted.

Gurj, Jared, Christina & Mer.
The animal stuff always makes me feel a little crummy...
..but the acrobats were awesome.
And hey, big confetti finale!
