    So then why is everything going so crappy? I missed my run this morning, because 1. it was raining 2. I was getting a haircut and 3. The temperature dropped like 20 degrees, overnight. To cap off a rough morning, the crowd was 4 deep on the train platform this morning (see above). Everyone had…

    I have been riding the A-Train between the same two stops for a handful of years, now. My routine is pretty much down. I even have backup plans for when something goes awry. For example; in the morning, I know which crack to stand next to, so that I will be in the right spot…

    I’m not really sure what was going on here. It was raining like cats and dogs outside, so I can see wanting to get out of the weather and have a nap. But, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that there may have been a more low profile way to go…

    Reagan and I had both heard about this guy, but we hadn’t seen him in person until Saturday night. He rolls a piano into the subway, via handicap elevator and ramp, at W. 4th Street. In addition to his piano moving skills, the guys is also gifted on the keys. While we were waiting for…

    I was dying, when I saw this picture on Gothamist. It appears that someone is voicing their displeasure with NY politics, by spoofing on the “Keep it Going NYC,” Campaign. Who ever you are, nice work! Hahahaha.

    [photo by trevor Little] -I missed out on the Red Bull Snowscraper event yesterday/last night. I don’t feel too bad about it, since it was way too cold to be standing around outside for a long period of time (and I was working, kind of late). There is a rumor that it is going to…

    Reagan and I watched another documentary about “street art” last night. It is called “Bomb it.” It was pretty cool. I have to say that foreign graffiti writers seem to be a lot cooler than the ones in the states. The Americans they talked to all seemed like a bunch of total losers, except Shepard…
