Imagine my surprise this morning when i heard that michael phelps had been swimming in the mcburney ymca pool in chelsea yesterday. i've swam there before...why not yesterday?! what's more the pool wouldn't have attracted phelps if it hadn't been for the lovely aqua marine tile job the pool possesses courtesy of my employer dattner architects (see photos above. phelps in banana hammock and dattner's work).
on top of all that at lunch the day before i stepped out onto 57th street which is normally full of reasonably large commotion but this week even more due to u.s. open players and fans staying in a neighboring hotel. add to that this day that there were a bunch of film trucks and trailers displacing the u.s. open tour buses. police cars, lazy stage hands and their sandwiches, angry bus drivers unable to get to their stranded tourist travelers. a disaster all made legal by a bunch of those no parking signs posted on colored paper we see all over the city when film shoots are going on. usually they are for c.s.i. something or other but this time they were for one of my favorites, entourage.
so where am i goi
ng with this? check it out. sir phelps and my boys from entourage filming somewhere just outside my door whilst i autocadded my afternoon away just a few floors above!
