I gave a much shorter, infinitely less coherent version of this spiel as a toast at Shoney’s on December 17th, mostly out of respect for my fellow Mayors and Citizens. Also, I was in sugar shock from the high-fructose buffet. If you’re reading this, you probably know a good deal about me. You’ve probably known … Continue reading
Yeahhhh, buddy so exciting to be back in NYC after all these years. Three, to be exact.

Champaign, Illinois! I’ve never been before (and judging by this postcard, neither had my great-grandfather), but can’t wait to check you out. Also, the opener, Kyle Fields will be driving in from Springfield, SO IT COUNTS. Also, I’m taking Braid’s advice about Urbana, so I’m staying on the West side for this run. This will … Continue reading
