what a nice town new york is. i've always found that if you go into a bar and start talking, people start talking back.
i got (un)intentionally trapped in a little bar today where the nice barlady kept buying me drinks. had an excellent day watching people change over / come and go. lots of great manhattan moments.. the guy who's father was a bookie but got run out of business by cocaine syndicates, a guy from jersey who kept buying stuff from dudes selling stuff (a little reading light, a hat that had earphones in it (he lived in florida)), a guy who i'd met before and was nicely imbued by the dead bike idea as a photographer. great.
