East New York, now there’s an idea.

Well this was all so predictable. How about offering me a walk home after reading this thread?

This program is free, right? I heard about it years ago, and think it’s a great idea. It’s nice to know that there are people out there willing to do stuff like this; and, to give up your night-out to help some drunk get home for FREE… impressive.
