Make New Friends, But Keep The Old

One is silver, and the other gold.

Well, that's how the song goes, but so far I've mostly spent time catching up with my old buddies. I guess that's what happens after you spend a year in NY meeting billions of people.

2 weeks ago was a dinner with a bunch of the girls I used to dance with. I at one point was a ballerina. That one point lasted give or take 19 years. We were missing 2 from our 'group,' but the once-a-year dinner was a great time for catching up.

Wednesday night was a similar event, since I decided to attend my old dance studio's recital. I watched the 1st (and only number) my best friend Alison was in, before high-tailing it to an amazing concert! We saw Brahms, Passion Pit, and Tokyo Police Club!!! It was fantastic! I will admit that Techno-beat dance music is normally not my thing. However, live it turns out, they are not synthesizing nearly as much as I thought! Actually, the lead singer in Passion Pit really does have a falsetto that sounds just like the recorded versions. Go figure.

Last night was yet another catch up time with a few classmates from my high school. We ate dinner, listened to a live jazz band, and got caught up (on the mostly uneventful) stages in our lives.

All of the above was fun, but I always wonder what a lot of people from my past are doing and where they are? It's often funny when the encounters of reconnection occur. Coming home I did not expect nearly so many people to be passing through and permanently living here. As they say, 'It all happens for a reason?'
