Hahaha. The subway was underground for a long time so when it finally came back up to the surface, the ladies abandoned their reading materials to text on their Sidekicks! Ha! (I was going to say that they were all sending tweets but this was two years ago and I don't think any of them were using Twitter yet! Things are changing faster and faster!)
At some point in the night, we all had our phones out on the table and we realized that we all have a the same Sidekick3 phone (because we are all basically 13 year-old girls that IM each other incessantly).
