I see that freak all the time.
He needs a new job

 

[GunBlade]

He's packin' though. haha

Naked Cowboy works round the year.. even winter. God damn weirdo.

Yeah, he's mighty strange. He's got more job security than anyone in the country, though.

jag, who thinks the area over by the Gugenheim is infinitely more beautiful than Times Square...

you should see how protective he gets about his corner... I remember some street dancers tried to get on his turf and he got all psycho...

Punk ass.

The area where the Guggenheim is pretty nice.. it's right by the park.. it's a quiet area.

I guess it's all a matter of taste.. and in all fairness... TS can be a bit overwhelming if you're not used to it.

Picadilly Circus in England is a Times Square rip-off

... TS can be a bit overwhelming if you're not used to it.

This is lame but I still get overwhelmed when I drive through TS. Like you could just chill there and take it all in. Just the whole vibe of it, I cant explain. The only time I ever go is at night. Daytime, there isn't much excitement.

I guess cause I work a block down from all that chaos.... I'm just to jaded to enjoy it anymore... I walk down 42nd street so much i hardly notice what goes on around me.

I'm pissed they closed down the theater on 44th street though... My friends saw SM2 and ROTK in that theater...

 

[GunBlade]

Why did they anyway?

anyone living in NYC should pick one of these up.. they're free and they list everything that's happening around the city.

They run every 2 Wednesdays all around NY. You can find them at the Virgin Megastore in TS or in one of their booths around.

It's a great pick up.... and I'm not saying that cause I'm a volunteer photographer for the mag either.

 

[Equint77]

Why did they anyway?

Don't know... one day I was walking up to 8th avenue and I saw they tore it down.

Animals.

 

[Abaddon]

Don't you have to pay like 12 for a movie in the city?I'll pass.

I got some sad news from my mom this morning. Before spring semester, we're moving to the New Brunswick area in Jersey and I gotta transfer to Rutgers. Not only it's sad enough moving away from where I've grown all my life but farther away from my friends.

I thought you lived on campus.Thats a suck.

I get the same way.

I'm currently in Stony Brook. They just want me nearer home..

My twin goes to Stony Brook.
Times Square is nice from a distance but it's filled with mindless tourists who don't know where they're going.

 

[NDX]

I don't usually notice when I'm in Times Square. I just go and get my stuff done and move along, as if it were nothing. On most occassions I barely seem to focus on it when I'm there.

The only thing that I will occassionally stop for is to see if the advertisements and accompaning buildings are photogenic enough (and not too bright) for my camera. So far, that has only happened twice.

 

[Abaddon]

I hate it when they stand in the middle of the street to take a picture.

 

[NDX]

I hate it when they stand in the middle of the street to take a picture.

That's one thing I never do. I know how bad traffic can get in that area and don't want to make it any worse than it already is.

 

[GunBlade]

So..who voted for Bloomberg?

 

[NDX]

Was there really any other choice?

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I didn't vote at all. One ******* or another? Some choice. Didn't help Bloomy any with me that Rudy was backin' him.

I went to Times Square, (as a tourist). It was great! I love NYC! (I wasn't a bad tourist, I promise)

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I hate Times Square. Too many people in one place, makes it impossible to move around. I avoid it as much as possible.

Gain 200 pounds and look menacing and angry. It works for me. No one bothers me and moves out of my way everytime I go there.

 

[Equint77]

Ferrer lost.... thank god.

Now I hope someone kicks his balls in when he walks the streets... Piece of $hit mutherf***er.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

No thanks, I'll just keep avoidin' th' Square. I prefer downtown anyways.
