Tourists clog up favorite public spaces, complain about and aren’t prepared for the local weather and are fascinated by the most mundane crap your town has to offer and HAVE to get a picture of the kids in front of. But sometimes it’s fun to be that twerp with a camera who gawks at big buildings, takes his sweet time getting off the subway and can’t stop commenting on just how hot it is. That was me on my recent honeymoon to New York City, all captured on 35mm film because I’m old and like old things. Like New York City.

The body count is 132 and rising. In fact, as of last week there were 22 homicides in Baltimore since June 21, the first day of summer. Like a starting gun signaling shooters to race to a one-body-a-day quota.

Every summer Sunday, Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter host Mister Sunday, one of the best daytime dance parties in New York City.

Victor Jeffreys II · 07/22/13 08:44AM

Saturday afternoon, King County Bar in Brooklyn hosted the first annual Smallest Penis in Brooklyn Pageant.

(This is NOT SAFE FOR WORK. Repeat, there are penises in the vicinity and this post is not safe for work.)
