New York Lennon Experience

I figure i'd recap my recent trip to NYC... I went to the john Lennon Exhibit at the Rock N' Roll Annex. I went with Niki, Shannon, Greg and Kayln. It was a good time. The exhibit was interesting. It started of with a wall of name plates of artists that have been inducted over the years. Each name lit up according to what song was playing. Then the doors opened..Theres was a lot to see before we got to the Lennon exhibit. They had Bruce Springsteen's first car, a room full of CBGB's relics (including a urinal) and a lot of other stuff.
Then came the Lennon room..the brainchild of Yoko Ono. They had hand-written lyrics, rare photos, movies and the most interesting display..Lennon's bag of clothes he was wearing when he was shot. Unfortunately, they would allow any photos. If you ask me..everything in that gallery should be public domain. In all, it was a good time.
Afterwards, we went to ground zero. Its still a hole in the ground. It was only a few hours and it was already time to go. I hate leaving new york. And thats that..
