G'day to all,
It was a busy week leading up to the weekend where we all got together for the finale party for TAR Season 19. What an incredible, well-organized time of celebrating. A big thank you to Cindy Chiang and Justin Young from the season for their organization of the events in NYC and a big congratulations to the three finalists and the winners Cindy Chiang and Ernie Halvorsen for a job well done.
Also, not to forget the hard work of Television Without Pity for a great party after the final showing. Megan and Miss Dona did an incredible job. It was much fun for all who attended. NYC was fun and a hive of activity - a little too busy for me, but I made the most of it. The fans made it a great event and to see our fellow racers again was special. Some we hadn't seen since riding elephants through a rain forest in Thailand.
Unfortunately, Zac and a few of the other racers (Andy, Tommy, Bill and Cathy, Ethan and Jenna) were unable to make it due to traveling and business plans. They were missed by all. Your TAR teammates become like a family, a bond forms between you that unites us because of the the rare experience of traveling to those obscure places around the world where we uncover, undo, eat or solve some of the most bizarre challenges one can imagine.
Of course, it was great to talk about some of the challenges and relive them in a more relaxed environment. Yes, our celebrations took us to a couple of night clubs and I found myself with a couple of moves that I didn't know that I had. It was much fun.
After a couple of days of reuniting with our fellow racers, celebrating and watching the finale, it was time to say our good byes and leave those frigid temperatures of NY and fly back to LA.
Oh yes, the greatest part about going away is coming home to my wonderful family.
Cheers,
Laurence
PS No photos of our weekend in NYC but will get those posted as soon as they are received.
