In fact, I could have done better than $109 if only I
had cared about my hotel reservation on pre-concert
Friday already (but I hadn't had my passport yet by
that time, so...). German travel agencies offer a
night at the Pennsylvania for about $95-$98, tax
included. They are really ripping you off at NYC hotel
receptions.

This hotel has an interesting and great history, but
today it definitely isn't worth $100/night anymore.
It is as run down as the adjacent street quarters.
But still I liked it because I was really close to MSG
and the Molly Wee there. Good recommendation, Bob :-).
And of course your Polydor Quad wasn't a weapon, it was
a gem I had had a hard time to find and buy. If I had
had a MCA Quad with me, then maybe I might have
attacked you, but... :-)
Cheers,
Bernd
