Jacob Javits, I'd Like To Thank You For Everything (Primarily Your Glass House)

All are invited to the official Blottered.com Launch Party at The Magician, 7:00pm Tuesday October 11th. Limited number of free happy hour drink tickets will be distributed by me so make sure to get there in the first five minutes. Special guests are contracted to attend.

I just remembered tomorrow marks a special anniversary in NYC history. It was ten years ago to the day that I packed a dufflebag full of my dad's work shirts and post-grunge survival techniques to head north on 95 from Maryland and establish roots here. Spent the first five weeks in the weeds of a Williamsburg loft, sleeping on the floor with a lesbian couple before moving into Manhattan's 125 Stanton Street, never to look back. (Except for that crystal shit bus ride to Atlantic City with a six-pack of Weltschmerz.)

Since then crime has been down but terror is up. Shouldn't take long to rewind the tape to 1995, sort through all the mess, and play it all over again on fast-forward through the course of the night.
