"Would you watch my stuff?"

I HATE when people ask me this in cafes. No, I'm sorry, I'm not responsible for your crap. Take it to the can with you or leave it and take the risk. Jesus!

And even more NYC!

Happy Chandler playing pinball at Alt. Great place!
I've ALWAYS loved fire escapes against brick! And liquor stores! Gorgeous!
Great ring graffiti!

Beer bottle chillin' in the snow. Damn, I haven't seen flurries like this since ... North Platte? Czech Republic?

More NYC

Hot dogs! And everything else.
God -- the Village. Simply ... the Village.
Park Slope, stroller wars be damned -- I love thee.
At Alt Coffee in the East Village, showing off my engagement ring.

New York City

My show (and the rest of the FRIGID performances) posted at Horse Trade HQ, 85 E. 4th Avenue in the East Village.
Speaks for itself.
Under St. Marks, the theater where I was fortunate enough to perform. Many thanks to Erez Ziv, Morgan Tachco, Akia Squitieri, and Justin Sturges -- Horse Trade rules!
This picture looks like it was taken in Europe, but really, it was in SoHo.
Pickles at Katz's Deli, where the chocolate egg creams are orgasmic. Just ask the waiter.

Yay Ann Cummins!

Great review of Yellowcake in the Washington Post. Ann was a visiting professor my first semester at St. Mary's, and we all had a great time in that class.

Kurt Vonnegut's eight rules for fiction writing

Right here.

"What, is there a fine? Am I going to get a ticket?" Chris Rock, a black comedian who uses the word in his act, said in an interview with Reuters. "Do judges say, 'Ten years, nigger!' "

NYC bans the N-word.
