“crowded into a packed C train (local) with everyone sweating like a hot yoga class on wheels,
you begin to find a center inside which is apart from the reality outside” — would have been better to find the front of the car…prop the door open and catch the breeze as train went from station to station.
thanks dibs, it’s an honor that will be cherished.
Flee with vintage linens, it was interesting on how small place mats used to be before “extra” sized meals became normal.
dona, most of that vintage clothing seems to be from the 90s.
I love the R train too. Always catch it on Montague and always get a seat. The 4/5 trains are so crowded, nobody ever takes them anymore.

Almost everything at the Flea is ridiculously overpriced and / or nothing I would ever buy, ever. Like “vintage” clothing. A good way to make sure I will never take you seriously is to wear something “vintage” you bought at the flea. As soon as I hear that the “identify: total idiot; ignore, ignore” siren starts going off in my head.
Rob!
I know – I actually am becoming more and more fond of the R train the more I take it
I always get a seat and it’s never insanely crowded
donatella, i kinda agree with you about the flea. i mean it’s cool and all and it is what it is, but for the most part it just seems like an overpriced yuppie craft fair. it’s not really a flea market much. obviously it seems to do well, and there’s a market for it, but it’s just not the kind of stuff i look for.

…used to be there was no air conditioning on the subways,
riding home from work on a hot summer day in August,
crowded into a packed C train (local) with everyone sweating like a hot yoga class on wheels,
you begin to find a center inside which is apart from the reality outside.
…that, or you start babbling to yourself about Socialism and yarn.
Mets won 4 in a row. 1 game above 500. pitching is lights out.
can come out of closet and admit to being a Mets fan.
I was looking for fun games to download onto Blackberry for The Champs and saw that there are apps one can download that turn one’s mobile phone into a vibrator. Who knew??
