I'm leaving on a jet plane again, this time to Chicago for a few days. This might be the last post till Friday or later, so I'll just throw out some links I've saved up that I hope aren't too stale.
I'm leaving New York for the holiday-season tourists to enjoy. They are easy to spot. Just look for mustaches, parted hair, straight-leg jeans, and shirts tucked in said jeans. And major stumblage once a subway car starts rolling. (I always love that one.)
They also tend to clog up our sidewalks, a straight-up no-no to any speed-walking local like myself. I dig the tourists' spirit I travel a bit myself, as you surely have gathered but they could use a lesson in the flow of people-traffic. Thus, I highly recommend viewing a Drinking With Bob video rant titled "Stay to the Right!"
Other Web Finds:
PBase: Bolton Perry Fantasy Fest 2006 Photos These are probably the best I've uncovered. (And I will not stop till I find them all!) Anyway, the link goes to some excellent work on Wednesday and Thursday nights. He has a separate gallery for Friday and Saturday nights. Make sure to view the "original" size which can be selected on the individual photos' pages for all the booty-ful goodness.

Thieves Take Advantage of Gift Cards Sold Off In-Store Racks One more reason to not buy that $50 gift card from Office Max. As if there weren't 1,000 other reasons. (Thanks, Shumpy)
2007 Yankees Holiday Ticket Packs on Sale I bought packs #1 and #6 Monday. Came to $385 for 34 tickets over 17 games in the nose-bleeds around first and third bases. Not bad, not great. I don't mind the view, but finding partners for all those games is gonna be a bitch. At least I'll see Opening Day and Andy Pettitte's return in Game 2 or 3.
Atomic Wedgie Costume I almost bought this one for Fantasy Fest, but went with Tickle My Elmo instead. I still think it's funny, but may be best among friends, and not thousands of strangers with cameras.
