ARB goes to Jersey....

Anthony went to New Jersey for business back in October.  SMART had a one night convention and while in NJ he visited with customers.  First stop was with Poor Boy Trading's Ed and Phil for lunch and a tour of their office in Sterling Plaza. 

Ed paid $100 for these trophies.....funny shot, should be on their website.

At the convention, Anthony was finally able to meet some people that he had only spoke with on the phone.  Below see Alan Liss from ALA in Massachusetts.

Preet from Pri Sun in Toronto.

Steve Bethell from Bank and Vogue kissed Anthony on the cheek just before this shot.  Too bad the camera didn't catch that for proof. 

Scott Cynamon from Cyntex, Steve and Anthony near the end of the convention. 

The next day, Scott took Anthony out for a tour of New York City.  They started off in Sodo and toured the upper East side, Greenich, Brooklyn among other spots.  Anthony couldn't resist the Burton shot. 

The Empire State Building from afar.

Anthony and Scott had lunch in Central Park. 

They tried going to the Guggenheim Museum but since it was a Thursday (what the F is up with that) it was closed for cleaning. 

So instead they went to the Metropolitan Museum.

There was some amazing art all throughout. 

Amazing rooms as well.

This was brought in from Egypt and the room was built around it after it was brought to NYC. 

The stained glass was very cool. 

There was a small amount of Jewish artifacts.

And a whole midevil room with knights of armor, swords, etc. 

Anthony thouroughly enjoyed New York more than New Jersey but was happy to come back home to Xander and Amy.
