New York > Philadelphia > LA

Well, I can now say that I’ve been to Philadelphia. Why you ask? Because we weren’t going to spend double for a direct flight to LA, of course! Plus, I’ve always wanted to go to Philadelphia. They do good cheese there. Hehe. Well, anyway, right now we’re in the Taxi on the way to Hollywood. Today was a long day of traveling. We’ve got an exciting week ahead of us. We’re meeting up with Stephen Fry, a TV Producer and a big Hollywood Movie Producer! To add to that, there are a lot more press bookings underway! Our AP story just keeps spreading and we’ve been getting lots of requests. This morning (if you were in Times Square) we were the idiots waving signs around saying “Be A Movie Producer” and a banner reading “JUDE LAW SAYS BUYACREDIT.COM”. A reporter and photographer from a NY paper met us there for some photos and an interview. It was a lot of fun and it’ll be great to see how the article turns out.

After that we were straight in a cab to the airport. Mind you, we had to find a Taxi Rank first. Last time we tried to hail a cab in New York it took 45 minutes. We’re just THAT bad at it. :( . Maybe the British are just too polite when it comes to striding into the middle of the road, shoving your hand in the air and shouting “TAXI!”.

We were at the airport soon after and in Philadelphia before we knew it. Very strange going on a 30 minute flight. Very strange. We did have to wait a while at the Philadelphia airport though, and the only entertainment was a webcam:

The flight to LA was looonnggg. Felt like we were going back home over the Atlantic. It’s funny how massive America is and how now, it feels like we’re in a totally different world. I don’t really know what to expect from Hollywood in daylight. We want to see the sign, the Walk of Fame and all that touristy stuff…but we’re told it’s a lot harder to get around than Manhattan and London.

Tomorrow there should be some more buycredit.com press coming out, and we should be meeting up with the TV Producer who has some very exciting propositions. It’s funny that the only person we know out here is Stephen Fry. He’s sort of looking after us :) . Fellow Britons in a foreign land.

Anyway…to the motel to sleep!

Sunday in New York…

Today we’ve had another tourist day. We didn’t know it was such a long walk from Times Square to the financial district, but we got there in the end. One thing I’m really liking about New York is the abundance of Starbucks. If you feel like coffee…coffee is there :) . It’s all very very different to London though. Much harder to get lost as everything is a grid; no twisty roads. Even so, we’re still getting lost.

We’ve noticed that people are starting to paste up posters of Jude Law’s new film REPO MEN, which is coming out soon I think. Another film we really want to see is Alice In Wonderland with STEPHEN as the Chesire Cat :) . There’s posters of it EVERYWHERE here.

Annywaayy, tonight we might see a film and then tomorrow we’re back off pause and getting ready to do as much as we can for another week. At some time we’re flying to LA, although timings are completely unknown at the moment. We’re really looking forward to going to see Stephen over there and are looking forward to some warm weather too! – New York is too cold. And we’re from London!!!

Nearly time for something to eat. McDonalds, Burger King or Dunkin’ Donuts? Hmmmm.
