Black Friday!

Macy`s,
Thanksgiving parade,
I could see from my window,while the cold rain and hight winds
kept many tourists away from the sidewalks, there were still plenty
of people out there watching it live.

People from all over the world gather right here
at the Square of All Times
as early as 5:30 am for the parade.

This was my first attempt to watch it live and i did see Snoopy
coming down Broadway, before heading back home.

I couldn`t stand the rain and the cold and i am not a big fun of parades anyways.

It was raining all day but we were lucky to catch a taxi on our way
to our friends Gail and Doug`s annual Thanksgiving party at Helen`s and back.

And then Black Friday is here.

The Consumer`s Frenzy has no limits.

Most Big Stores opened their doors to the long standing queue forming
waiting public as early as 5:00 am
and people stormed right in only to find that
the hugely discount advertised items were already sold!

Macys opened their doors at 5:30
with thousands rushing in for to get a piece of the discount frenzy.

Target was the last one
to open it`s doors to the public at 6:00 am .

I walked 6th ave. passed the Radio City
on my way to Donnell library
at 54th str. right oposite to the Museum of Modern Art
which was crowded with tourists and found piece of mind inside the building
choosing some good movies and cds for the evening.

Joe Cocker`s latest release "Heart & Soul"
is a good one, and his voice is still in top form,
and the French Movie Bon Voyage
was the perfect choice for late night screening.
