New York City

This reading began in my favorite city of all the time, the big apple! Mark and Eduardo came to New York on a "business" trip, but all Mark seemed to want to do is goof around. Infact, Eduardo single-handedly paid for most everything, dwindling down the 1,000 dollars he put in thefacebook himself. Also, paying for all the business' expenses himself (taxis, etc). Eduardo had set up almost everything, he set up all the meetings with big business' that didn't go particularly well. Although all the business' were impressed by thefacebooks 25million members, not to many knew exactly what it was. During these meetings either Mark slept or didn't help at all, very unprofessional. Then Sean parker came into the picture. Sean Parker floated through the chinese restauraunt they were eating at like a celebrity, going thorough rounds at other table until he met his destination at Eduardo and Mark's table. To Mark, Sean was a God. Sean talked to Mark the whole night, with Eduardo feeling a little miffed, he couldn't wait for the night to be over. Later that night Eduardo expressed that they really didn't need Parker, but Mark's mind was made up, Parker was his idol. In just a week they were to open a new bank account, this time with 10,000 dollars in it, this was the beginning of the mega-billion dollar facebook company.

My favorite part of this whole reading was probably that it was in NYC. New york is my favorite city in the world and it's home to my favorite College--NYU. In one year I see myself living in the big apple, attending NYU with a double-major in theatre & broadcasting.

P.S. If any of you are in the New York area and are interested in seeing some of the greatest broadway plays, you should definitely stop by TKTS in Times Square for discount tickets in all the great shows. It's pretty hard to miss, it's the big red thing in the middle of time's square lol.
