I spent time working at the Maritime Hotel right after graduating from college and I saw lots of crazy people. Rich people. Celebrities. People who spend their lives navigating the hotel nightclub scene..so I had to link this NEW YORK MAGAZINE ARTICLE.
The boutique hotels of New York City can be ultra exclusive and very much a “You’re not cool enough to be here,” type scene. When you work there, you become this fly on the wall to these antics. Then again, I actually met the most interesting people in New York while at work, with earplugs in my ears so my hearing wouldn’t be impaired by the blaring music. Strange.
Yeah, its a slightly old track, but for some reason it completely resonates with me. It reminds me of being in NYC, when I used to work as a cocktail waitress at Hiro at the Maritime Hotel after graduating NYU, working other random jobs, and wondering how to get to the next step in my life. When you work that job, you start at 9 PM and leave the club around 4 AM and you look around the Meatpacking district and see the early morning traders rushing off to their jobs. You think to yourself, “Am I a vampire or what?”
Anyway, I freaking love this track. Kid Cudi is a hottie. I like HBO’s “How to Make It In America.” 3 Random thoughts. LOL.
My name is Kathrien Ahn (yes, this is the correct spelling of my name) and I started this blog because I was the only female working at this tech start-up and needed a creative outlet. I'm a Content Producer for MySpace Celebrity, former Editor of Twirlit and writer for Manolith. Glad you stopped by the blog, and hope that it provides you with some laughs, inspiration or amusement. I am OBSESSED with music. Old skool hip-hop/R&B are bomb and I think Snobs/people with big egos are uber annoying. Ya heard? (I try to avoid them as much as possible)
