[hey yo its sean]

Yeah, where? Thinking of ganking a Panaflex or something.

 

[Abaddon]

"ganking a Panaflex"?Ok,I dont know what that means but I just wanted to check it out.

 

[hey yo its sean]

You want to check it out, but I want to steal a 35mm film camera.

 

[Abaddon]

Haha,I don't have the balls to pull some **** like that.

 

[user123456789]

Where are they shooting Spidey tomorrow?

they shootin sat/sun in city hall i believe

 

[hey yo its sean]

Haha,I don't have the balls to pull some **** like that.

It's funny. They shoot a lot of Law and Order stuff on the street right behind my school, and you'd be surprised at how loose the security on-set is. They leave all kinds of expensive equipment all over the place. No one's watching any of it. If I were anymore of an ass hole, I might have half a mind to take some home.

Financial District

 

[hey yo its sean]

I'm talking more along the lines of places like St. Mark's, Battery Park, etc.

 

[Abaddon]

I rarely venture into the city.

 

[maxwell's demon]

I'm talking more along the lines of places like St. Mark's, Battery Park, etc.

you mean for people or for color/scenery?

for people- yeah, lower east side, from 14th down to grand, from 4th avenue over to Ave C. It's my favorite neighborhood.


for places/landmarks, yeah, St. Marks, Astor Place, Thompkins Square, Washington Square, the docks/park over past the West Side Highway,

and my favorite- the highline: http://www.thehighline.org/ (chelsea/west side)
Its pretty cool- an old rail line in the meatpacking district that got shut down and now, a few stories above street level, is overgrown with grass and flowers (and some weeds). You can see the rail line disappearing directly into the walls of buildings, and re-emerging onthe other corner.

It's not really a "place" per se, since its just this 'thing' rooted above the streets for a dozen blocks or more, but....its pretty neat to see. There are a few cool shops in tht area- and some art galleries not far away.

 

[hey yo its sean]

Hey.. Not bad. Thanks bro. Much appreciation.

I've gotten some great photographs of it from many of those galleries. I hope to get up there one day to snap a few shots before to change it.

Mother****ing heat!

 

[Mr. Credible]

i visited NY a year or so ago. i loved it, but i don't think i could live there. i can't even stand going into my own downtown for more than a few hours at a time, and NY is just one big downtown. it's much to confusing.

i effing love the subway, though. i spent hours at a time just riding around. it was a great way to spend time... just people watching.

 

[Abaddon]

There are quieter places outside Manhattan.

There's always some form of entertainment on the A train.

The A train is a ****ing zoo.... from East NY to Harlem...

I remember one morning going to see my then GF and some ****ing old ass woman was smoking crack on the A train... the ***** was lighting up aluminum with this white smoke coming up... I got the **** out of there... no way I'm getting a contact high from crack.

 

[Abaddon]
