I was in New York last week to meet with PR, advertising and marketing agencies interested in ICUC Moderation Services. In total I did eight capabilities presentations and I’m very pleased with the reception I received and I’m looking forward to working with some great agencies on some exciting new projects.

I got to town late Wednesday night for meetings on Thursday and Friday. The first evening and most of the second was spent putting proposals together and planning the next day’s events.

This video was shot the second night when I was able to put the work down for a couple hours and take the deck out for a ride sometime around 9pm. I skated over to the UN building past the Chrysler building and then took a cab down to the Brooklyn Bridge. I skated down through the financial district to get a view of the Statue of Liberty. Much to my surprise there were fireworks on Liberty Island - this was a pretty righteous bonus.

From there I headed back North by ground zero and through Greenwich Village by the famous White Horse Tavern and eventually back up to the Empire State Building - where I was told to beat it - and finally on to Times Square.

I had fun shooting this, amazingly the camera was never stolen as I had to leave it alone a few times. Good thing it’s small I could hide it in bushes and under garbage.

I hope this makes you smile, maybe even laugh. Have a great Monday. :)
