we some old peeps
40 is definitely the new 30. we just threw my friend young a 40th birthday and did a pub crawl of his old joints/haunts. This guy is legendary in the East Village. He's what makes you realize that getting old is just in the mind.
-he used to live on Saint Mark's Place when they still had a rehab ctr across the street from his apartment.
-i still remember the 4th of July night when they let those rehab guys out for the night. What were they thinking? we were hanging out at a sidewalk restaurant in front of his place when one of those homemade fireworks landed in my sushi.
-Young had his apartment broken into numerous times. he is a collector of all things vinyl, digital, and literary. he had to go back to the street and buy his cd collection back from the guy who stole it.
-we were stopped at 7B's entrance cuz Young forgot his ID (at the time, he was 31). who says things like "man, c'mon. i used to party here in 80s!" the bouncer didn't let us in.
oh, the countless stories of young...
(he's now living on the Left Coast).
the picture on his tee was taken when he was 32. he looks the same to me. you?
