How late can you be…

October 22nd…! It does seem like a million years ago- that is the evening I enjoyed at the Trump Wollman rink at the opening celebration they hosted for event planners.

As soon as I got there I was offered to put on a pair of ice skate to try out a sport I haven’t practiced in since childhood. But like many attendees I chose to go towards the buffet which was quite complete, pasta station,bagel station, salad, mushrooms, eggplants- everything I tried was very god- especially the desserts including the passed mini eclairs and chocolate dipped strawberries.

Being careful of not eating too much in order to be able to take advantage of one of the first few times I knew I would put on a pair of ice skate and take the risk to fall on ice with my camera – which I had to take to write a little blurb about this event- The rest of my stuff was safely hold in a free loaned locker.
All the skating attendees looked lie they were having an amazing time on the rink despite the freezing cold. I guess the planners organized everything according the weather forecast as ti was one of the first extremely cold day of the season.

Among the other perks was their id picture machine giving away free shot for the night (very popular apparently- personally it make me feel like I am taking a photo for a passport renewal or something very official) and a booth where you could rock the mic for a voice over on movies such as Shrek – group of friends and colleagues seemed to have enjoy this as well- as for me my English is not good enough so I refused to purposely make a fool of myself.
