Heidi and I were in NYC for the American Women of Radio and Television's Gracie Awards this week:



That's the sign that was along the red carpet, where all the celebrities arrived. As far as the rest of the pictures? Well, I forgot to ask someone to take my picture with Heidi. And none of my photos of Chris Rock, Wanda Sykes, Joy Behar, Tina Fey, Ann Curry, or Robert Verdi came out. Sorry!!

But I did notice something new and different....Have you been in one of these new-fangled elevators yet? Both the hotel we stayed at and the hotel where the Gracies were held had them. Instead of pushing an up or down button to call the elevator, you push the floor you want on a keypad like this:



The panel tells you which elevator to get on. Once inside, it looks like this:



It felt a little claustrophobic to me - no way out! And if you picked the wrong floor by accident, you couldn't course-correct. I hear it's more efficient, I say it'll take some getting used to!

Also in the weird news, here's a new Broadway show that's knows you're going to think it's a joke, so they put the word 'seriously' on the poster:



Heidi and I closed a bar, too - here's a shot that I love because of the poster and what show is on the tv!



Overall - a great 20 hours in NYC!!
