U2 gives a free concert near my home turf...and where am I? At fucking work. Later in the day one of my coworkers reported seeing the flatbed carrying Bono et al. cruising down Broadway. She didn't know who they were, and had to ask the hipster dude standing next to her at the stoplight who the hell were the weirdos in the truck.

The Columbus Circle subway station has always been quite the hub of activity with regard to literal spamming: There is always someone there passing out flyers about something. For a long time, the underground area that I walk through was dominated by Jews for Jesus. Now the Falun Gong appear to have taken their spot. I keep imagining brilliantly choreographed turf wars a la West Side Story. Could a love story be far behind? "Falun Gong...I just met a chick from Falun Gong...and suddenly that name...will never be the same..."

By the by, photo_a_day is a cool journal. She's NYC-based and posts random pics every day. Lots of nice stuff. :)

Dammit woman! Pass the Depends because I think I just pissed myself laughing. Hmmmm...can we work that into SVU: The Musical?

Bummer about the U2 concert. Figures it happens the day after we come home.
