“Big Apple Dreamin’”

July 28th, 2011

“We’re so young and pretty, we’re so young and clean,

so many things that we have never seen…

Big Apple dreamin’ on a wooden floor

Skyscrapers and subways and stations

Staring up at the United Nations

New York is waiting for you and me, baby

Waiting to swallow us down

New York, we’re coming to see what you’re made of

Are you as great as you sound?”

- “Big Apple Dreamin’” by Alice Cooper

Herbie, Christian and Greyson Fletcher recently came back home to San Clemente after a jam-packed stay in New York. There, they checked out the art and surf scenes in Montauk, the skate scenes of Manhattan, and everything else in-between, all the while hanging out with some pretty colorful characters.

We’ll get to Herbie’s Tripoli Art Gallery showcase and Christian’s Hamptons International Film Festival presentation of his movies “Savage Beast” and “Supernatural” next week. There’s so much to report about those things. But right now, we’re just way too impatient and wanna hurry up and upload these sick photos of Astrodeck’s very own Astroboy, Greyson, taking a bite out of the Big Apple… Fletcher style!

Here’s a sequence shot of the kid at the Chelsea Piers Skate Park. He’s pretty impressive, isn’t he?

Wasn't sure if it was New York or Hell... because it sure felt like it with the killer heat!

According to Greyson, he had a great time in New York despite the sweltering heat. He made a lot of good friends and New York made a lasting impression on him, and he can’t wait to go back.
