The subway, she is a porno

NEA/Columbia: Entry #1.  I came a day early to mill around New York on Saturday, but this proved to be a lousy idea.  My one night stay at the Hotel Riverside Studios were the scariest 12 hours I've spent in NYC; all of gotham's seedy stereotypes seemed to surface within minutes of checking in.  Without recalling into depth the painful details again, they are briefly as follows: a roaming pervert whispering outside my door, cockroaches literally at every turn, and a shower stall with no window coverings inviting in the rest of 71st street.  All for the lovely price of $220/night!  Yet when Sunday arrived and the Institute formally began, everything fell into place. My fellow Fellows come from 17 states and many of them are bloggin' it. Let me give a cyber shout-out to the renaissance SMB from Portland and Rich Copley of Lexington, KY.  High profile critics Justin Davidson, Steve Smith, and Alex Ross all came and spoke with us Monday on the classical music beat; Ross moreso on his recent book. Tuesay it's Terry Teachout and Jeremy Denk.  Then the opera on consecutive nights at the New York City Opera and the Met; pressroom passes will be provided.  This is only scratching the surface and I haven't even mentioned that we're eating in high style: I had duck breast at a French restaurant last night, and then it's 4-star Indian tomorrow.  Thank you John Q. Taxpayer.
