This is great. Anna Gilligan and the camera man are in the Fox News Good Day New York van covering the Star Wars release at the AMC Theatre on 42nd Street. Crazy guy starts screaming at them about I don’t know what.
Anna, who was tweeting, waved hello thinking he was a fan. Then she was trying to wave him away. He got more hostile as he was smoking his cigarette. He demanded to be let in the van.
Ultimately, they shut the van door and Anna hid in the back until he left.
There wasn’t a single cop around…even though it’s a popular street and this was a high profile film release.
We were at Apple’s Fifth Avenue flagship store Friday morning for the launch of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Massive crowd. Not as much much press as last year because the major networks were covering the pope. Only crazy story is some weird guy was trying to get an Apple Store employee to relay an idea for an invention to Tim Cook.

This guy was arrested for stealing money from Jenkinson’s Pavilion in Point Pleasant, New Jersey this past Saturday night. He was calm at first, but then started cursing out the police officers.
Colin Quinn was in New York City’s Bryant Park today reading an excerpt from his new book, The Coloring Book. Colin chose to read the chapter about Jim Norton and their USO visit to Iraq. It was really funny. ativan without a doctors prescription
Afterwards, he had a Q&A session. He unofficially announced that his sold out off-broadway play is coming to Broadway. He answered stories about Jerry Seinfeld, why his Eric the Midget Taxi Driver script was never recorded by the Stern Show and spoke to a guy with whom he went to college. cheap modafinil
Dave Itzkoff did a great job hosted the event.
Yesterday, I get off the train at New York Penn Station, walk a couple blocks and see this bum barfing yellow chunks into a street puddle (7th and 35th).
I don’t know what’s worse…him puking or me watching him. I feel like Jeff the Vomit Guy from the Howard Stern Show…well, maybe not that bad.
It’s been raining for days so the yellow puddle is still there.
Today, we visited Saturday Night Live The Exhibition. I knew it would be good, but not this good. Tons of costumes, mold, props, simulated show experience hosted by Tina Feye. Nothing I say can fully describe the well thought-out details put into the layout. It’s super high-tech.

Today, Apple opened a new store in New York City. The building was a bank in the 1920s. Apple tried their best to restore the original structure, but it as a mess. Instead, they did a great job replicating it.
The store is beautiful. It’s the first Apple store to have a Beats headphones listening station, many of which were receiving their wireless feed from the iPod sitting beneath. The audio was choppy, but I guess that’s to be expected with the amount of traffic in the store today.
In addition, it’s the first store to have pull out iPhone case drawers, reminiscent of bank safe deposit boxes.
Last, but not least, it’s the first Apple Store we’ve been to where there’s a public bathroom.
Apple’s Senior Vice President of Retail and Online Stores, Angela Ahrendts, and other retail execs were on-hand observing. Most people probably didn’t recognize her. Of course, we did.
Typically, Apple gives t-shirts to the first 5000 people that enter, which has the name of the store on it. No shirts this time. Instead, visitors received “Portraits of the Upper East Side” a great book of photos taken around the Upper East Side, using an iPhone 6.
