Weird... we're famous.

DIARY

As you may have heard there's a transit strike going on in New York. Jess has a very hefty commute (just under two hours each way on the best of days) and so she posted on Craigslist asking if anyone would be able to help her with the commute. She received an answer from CNN of all sources, asking if they could cover our commute for a piece.

And so, at roughly 7 AM this morning, Winnie, a reporter, and a camera crew filmed our reaction to news of the strike and followed us through our morning routine. Ironically, things went remarkably well... Jess was able to hail a cab after a few minutes of trying, and I hitched a ride with some other commuters. We'll see if I feel so optimistic when it's time to get home at 5:30 tonight. For the moment, however, things are going smoothly. I wonder if it's enough of a story for them.

At any rate, Jess and I will be on CNN at 10 PM tonight, if you're interested in watching.
