By now you've all heard of the attempted car bombing in New York's Time Square. In a great testament to New York City, life went on as usual over the weekend, I was in the Time Square subway station yesterday and you would never have known that anything out of the ordinary had happened. The tourists were wandering around cluelessly, the homeless people were walking around smellily and the hipsters were moseying around hipsterly. We just go on here like nothing went down, and though sometimes we forget to see that, it's pretty great when you realize how this truly is the city that never sleeps, or stops.
The car in question was found on the corner of 45th and Broadway (pictured above), a corner that I know quite well. It's actually the exact corner that I spent several years on, six nights a week, handing out tickets to one of our many comedy shows. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow (nor sanity), could stop us and we put on many great shows and some not-so great ones. Anyway, maybe I'm off on this one, but do you think there is a chance that this guy was just trying to ruin one of my shows and didn't realize we closed shops at that club a couple years ago? I know it's a long shot, but generally speaking terrorists don't like us liberal, homo, free-speech, comedy types.
Either that, or it also is the same corner of the MTV offices, and maybe the guy just didn't want another season of Jersey Shore. And really, who could blame him?
Ya, I turned a terrorism story into a Jersey Shore joke. A true professional, I am. Must've been all those years spent on the corner of 45th and Broadway.
We're back from our week in a tropical paradise and I must say it was everything it was hyped to be. But don't take my word for it, listen in to The Six Pack and find out about it for yourself.
