Chris (being a ninja and all) out of the blue decided to climb the giant, bronze lion statue. Evenutally (with much more difficulty) the rest of us managed to climb up there with him, but I can't find the picture of all four us up there (which is a good thing because a picture of the four of us snuggled up riding a lion statue would be so gay that if I posted it on the world wide net there'd be a risk that it could cause a chain reaction and turn the entire world gay).

Out front of the church is a statue of Leif Ericsson, the Icelandic explorer credited with the discovery of Vinland (North America). The inscription on the back of the statue reads: "Leifr Eiricsson Son of Iceland Discoverer of Vinland. The United States of America to the People of Iceland on the One Thousandth Anniversary of the Althing. AD 1930" (I didn't know what an the Althing was. I've since learned, via Dictionary.com, that it's: "The parliament of Iceland. The oldest assembly in Europe, first convened in 930.")

Amy and I met up in Manhattan and took the NR out to Park Slope. Turns out that Southpaw, the venue PJ's gig was at, was right around the corner from the apartment Amy and I were roomies at when I first moved to NYC in January of 2000.
