Guy's never been to an AA meeting I guess

I went to three high schools. In order: 1. Caroline Kennedy; 2. her dad JFK (and his brother); 3. Margaret Mead

My daughter's soccer coach on the UWS was a National Book Award-winning novelist

Omg Monkeytown! Mo Pitkins! Fatty Crab!

For me it worked 100% of the time 💅

Counterpoint: swiping soooooo much more tactically satisfying than tapping. ALSO CRUCIALLY: monthly unlimiteds allowed you to swipe in strangers as you left the station, at will, for free

Would Lindy Ruff be in it

I saw The Omen in theatres when I was 13 and Gregorian chants freaked me out for years

44 💅

Yeah I bought it this year to complete the canon, listened to it all the way through for the first time in decades and it has some fun songs! But the musical landscape had changed SO much between 1975 (Physical Graffiti) and 1979 that at the time it felt instantly irrelevant.

I got Moderna yesterday and feel fine (a little sore maybe), but that’s been the true all seven previous times too

I’ve ordered food delivery only a handful of times in my entire life, and never once in the last maybe 20 years or more.

Remember that concert that was such a great concert

Wow I used to read those as kid and now I see... they *still* do them every year????

Bud Man stickers, some sort of black light trippy thing, and this

Chaos Walking and I can't even remember what that was BUT I definitely remember how great it felt and that people looked at their phones 🙄 gothamist.com/arts-enterta...

Stood next to Keanu Reeves in the crowd at Superchunk, CBGBs, 1993, and made him laugh when I shouted something dumb (requested a Pavement song)

In my 20s (the 1980s-early 90s) I re-read James Ellroy's LA trilogy/quartet/quintet (Black Dahlia/Big Nowhere/LA Confidential/White Jazz/American Tabloid) every couple of years. Not sure how they hold up, but these are all deeply cynical books

My daughters and I are day-oners (Video Games was our anthem on the only road trip we’ve ever taken, up the PCH in 2011) and I love that you gave her The Five treatment and also Hope is a Dangerous Thing is the best AA song ever written

Rolling Stones JFK Stadium 1978: 90,000 people, took way too much speedy acid, 16 years old, basically terrifying on the field so we found seats way up top and the sound was so bad you couldn’t even tell what song they were playing. I was a HUGE fan then, too, and it’s the only time I ever saw them

That where I had my last drink, July 3, 1999. Just a glass of straight vodka.
