It's Showtime at the Apollo...

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

No one likes when Ms. T is blue -- most of all Ms. T herself. Things at work haven't and won't settle down. But I just gotta put my big girl panties on and just deal with it.

Pic taken today in the hot hot hot weather. I hate sweating in places I don't normally sweat...like, at the Apollo. I'm kidding. I kid. I keeeeed. That was a horrible joke, I know.

Saw this the other day: 35 things most New Yorkers do. http://www.buzzfeed.com/jessicamisener/35-things-most-new-yorkers-do

Most of the time these lists suck but this one is pretty good.

I have actually done all of them but I especially relate to #8, #9 recently, #11, #16, #19, #21 (lol), #32, and my fave is #35.

Enjoy!

Nice shot! Ive tried shooting the Apollo at night, but its just not like it was back in they hey day! Yeah I hate sweating in wierd places too and probably done most of the things on the list ;)

[Michael Elliott]

and yes #35!

[Ms. T]

@michaelelliott Thanks, Michael. I would love to shoot the Apollo at night. I had a hard time getting a shot today. So many people walking despite the heat and there was some film crew around filming some very curious looking characters... Almost took a pic of that instead.

Great shot, and very, very cool article. Hope that picked up your spirits a bit!

[Carol B]

(I meant I hoped the article picked up your spirits, not my lame-ass comment.)

[Ms. T]

@carolb actually both the article and your comment lifted my spirits so thanks! :)

[Kate]

Cool shot. I like the nostalgic feel

[Tony]

Nicely captured and an old-time feel. Hope you get over your blues and those scalding temperatures.

[Ms. T]

@islandk8 thanks! Was hoping to catch a nostalgic feel.

@tonydebont thanks, Tony! Hopefully this heat wave will pass soon.

[Snap Happy]

Nice job!

[Adam]

I like the shot very much. Looks vintage and appreciate the historic significance. As far as the list, well may I have done 3 or 4 of them. I need to get out more often.

[Ms. T]

@snaphappy1 I know how you feel about #5. Lol. Love the Pat Kiernan. He delivers the news like a boss. Like he's on a sketch comedy show. bwahahaha.

@adamj thanks, Adam! I'm sure you've done more than 3 or 4. If not, could easily knock out another 3 or 4 in a short while ;)

[Snap Happy]

@fauxtography365 nobody does snarky sarcasm classier than patty cakes kiernan. He's my fave Canadian who is more NY then the Chrysler building!

[Ms. T]

@snaphappy1 LOL Patty Cakes Kiernan. hahahaha. I wanna slap him across the face then give him a hug.

[Snap Happy]

@fauxtography365 and he'd love it

[Ms. T]

@snaphappy1 ohhh yeah.

Very fun list, there should be one for Nashville. Beginning with "only tourists wear cowboy hats downtown" :-)

[Ms. T]

@anzere03 haha is that so? Never been to Nashville. Guess I wouldn't wear a cowboy hat downtown. Come to think of it....I don't think I've ever worn a cowboy hat.. :P

[Baznman]

Love the tones in this. Glad you liked the song :)

[Ms. T]

@baznman thanks! Glad you introduced it to me.

[Simply Amanda]

Today was such a sweaty day. I soaked through my shirt on a walk. Yuck. Hope that your day improved a tad and that tomorrow is even better. Cool photo of a cool looking place!

[Ms. T]

@amandal thanks, Amanda! I've never been inside the Apollo but there have been legendary performances there. I guess it's been hot all over the place. Normally, I love the warm weather but this is just kind of ridiculous. Hope it passes soon.

[Simply Amanda]

@fauxtography365 Up until this point our summer has been pretty mild. Making up for it now, I guess. Tomorrow I am going to attempt an outdoor selfie. Hope that I don't melt.

[French Speaking Redneck]

@fauxtography365 I haven't either :-) Very nice processing on this photo!

[Ms. T]

@anzere03 thanks! But wait...you live in Nashville and never worn a cowboy hat? Ever? ;)

[Adam]

@fauxtography365 Perhaps you're right ;)

[Jean Willis]

good shot

[Adam]

@fauxtography365 O.k. so I went back to the list you provided and did a serious count. I have experienced 11 of the 35 items. I think most of the items however were listed with a young female audience in mind :)

[Ms. T]

@adamj see! I knew it! I wanna do #34 soon. Also agree with you. I think a female audience may have been in mind here.

[Ms. T]

@jean_willis thanks for the visit and comment, Jean!

[Ian]

Cool shot ! Love the tones and retro feel.

[Andrew Nelson]

Nice shot & #35 is amazing, Would love to see it one day.
