Usually my friends call me Mistress of the Obvious, well, because, I like to point out stuff that is, obvious, ya know?
I think it's time to change my name. Just call me, Mistress of the Oblivious.
I was doing my errands at lunch yesterday, staying within a four block radius of work while I ran to the library, drug store, the produce cart, and the post office. I was in a rush, doing my thing, not really paying attention. (Also, as a "working" New Yorker, I have to keep up the mystique to all the tourists and day trippers, by wearing my sunglasses, ipod, and running about busily while not making eye contact.)
Well, there's a huge movie Loew's movie complex one block up from work, on Broadway, that had a bunch of activity in front of it; canopied tents were going up, hustle and bustle was occurring, much busy-ness. All I could think of was was that it was SO annoying when the public utilities had to shut down half the street and sidewalks at lunch hour to do repairs. I went out of my way AROUND the block to avoid the mess.
Imagine my surprise when I was watching the 10 p.m. local news and the reports were coming in, from the Upper West Side, for WORLD PREMIERE of the new Batman movie at the IMAX theater! Live from the Black Carpet.
YUP!
DUH!
I could have walked by the prep for a movie premiere and seen the BatMobile and BatCycle from the movie. Sorry bro! Here's some photos thanks to the BBC of what I could have seen (photo 6 and 7 are the vehicles).
Here's the NY1 Story.
Maybe I should learn to be more curious while doing errands at lunch?
