Just to be clear, you mean Greenwich Village in NYC, not Greenwich in London?

 

I'm giving a talk - Monetize Me - to a group of writers in two weeks and there were a couple of lines I thought I'd use. I need to get a copy of his sermon.

Can't complain about the Bishop of London. When my friend L. got married, the priest who officiated took this opportunity -- having a captive audience of Greenwich Village secular types -- to harangue the attendees for 90 minutes about their sinful ways. Out of loyalty to L., nobody walked out, but some came close.

Tell you what I liked about today's ceremonies: They became a showcase for British classical composers, from Purcell to Elgar to the current Queen's composer. Thus, they exposed a huge, worldwide audience to great music.

Wonder what other people liked (or not).

Well, I thought the wedding went off brilliantly. The Bishop of London, while a little long, I thought had quite an amusing, rascally and pointed address.

Someone just posted a comment on the story about Welsh cuisine. Is what he says correct? http://www.tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/welsh-cuisine-dining-like-t...

I think this piece is a bit off when talking about when to go to find a spot along the processional route. Typically for a royal occasion people camp out the night before and sleep on the street to keep their space. The area in the circle in front of the Palace will be controlled access. There are bleachers set up, but those come with a cost and connections. The international TV networks are having 22 studios built on the side nearest Canada Gate. So after the wedding and when the Royal Family have returned to the Palace, then the crowds will be allowed to walk up The Mall to gather around the Victoria Memorial and greet the family on the balcony.

 

The train connections into London can be somewhat problematic. Aside from delays, those trains will be packed so the stations will be crowded. The day of the wedding is an official holiday in the Kingdom so most people who know where they're going will either be there or stay in.

Interesting piece on suggestions and strategies for visitors to experience the reoyal wedding at the end of this month! http://on.msnbc.com/ganttz

Great blog for a hotel in Brighton - if you are promoting tourism to the UK and sending clients to London - look to Brighton, its only 40 mins away with great beaches and the most eclectic shopping and cultural experience in the UK. Brighton
