Transit Strike
New York City goes through a lot of crap. In the, oh, 15+ years I've been here it's suffered blizzards, blackouts, terrorist attacks and, now, a transit strike.
I can't say it's been fun. Millions of people ride the subways every day. Take all those people and funnel them onto the Long Island Rail Road and you have crazy-long lines and hours and hours of doing nothing but waiting. On Tuesday it took me 3 hours to get to work. Wednesday it took me 2. Thursday, strangely only 1. I expect that if the strike continued to Friday I'd walk out my door and miraculously be standing in Times Square.
luckily, the strike is over, but I had to move a rehearsal as a result. Thursday's rehearsal is now on Monday. Oh well. Everyone is glad to do it. We have too few rehearsals anyway, so I really can't cancel them without rescheduling. And next I need to find a day and location to do regular line-thru's. All part of the process.
