And the campground of trailers and tents is the most organized and clean shantytown you ever could hope to see. But even so, barely-controlled chaos... http://www.tonylovesyou.com/blog/2008/07/ruminations_on.html http://www.tonylovesyou.com/blog/2008/07/ruminations_on.html Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:11:27 -0500 I'm in a gorgeous-by-day, creepy-by-night, economically depressed town in the Catskills region to play banjo with a bunch of other bluegrass neophytes at a festival. There happens to be an Irish music festival here at the same time.

He wore a Band-Aid on his face! That's how badass he was! And not even a normal Band-Aid! A weird bone-white one! Kinda looks like a Breathe-Right nasal strip! Maybe he eventually ran out of... http://www.tonylovesyou.com/blog/2007/10/remember_nelly_1.html http://www.tonylovesyou.com/blog/2007/10/remember_nelly_1.html Wed, 03 Oct 2007 15:26:20 -0500 Articles like this are hilarious. "What if Brooklyn’s recent cachet as the locus for what’s next is little more than a thin and fragile crust of chic, hiding the insecurity of people who constantly measure the social currency of their... http://www.tonylovesyou.com/blog/2007/09/new_york_is_sad.html http://www.tonylovesyou.com/blog/2007/09/new_york_is_sad.html Sun, 30 Sep 2007 11:47:39 -0500 This is the perfect demonstration of everything that's wrong with New York City. An "indoor drive-in." That photo is just so pathetic.

I had only ever been on Fire Island once before, on an elementary school field trip. A simulated fossil dig or something like that.

It's like nature created a goddamn candy for our ass. Seriously, there is no manmade confection that I would choose over a nice ripe (but not too ripe) sweet-ass Bing.

You make a $5 "deposit," which gets you a card. Then you add money to the card.
