On August 23rd, 2002, Xavier, Buddy, and I all went to NYC for the day. It was Xave's first adventure on the NY subway and man, did they deliver. He was overjoyed when he looked across the platform and said, "Holy shit! It's a fuckin' huge-ass sewer rat. I can't believe it. I've always heard about New York City sewer rats and now I'm actually seeing one. This is awesome!" That's all it took to make his day, and mine as well. For an instant I felt transported back to the NYC of films like Gloria, where shit was real and the city was mysterious and scary.
