New York was great.  Like uber-great.  If you subtract the three parking tickets and the pothole I hit in Jersey that caused my tire to explode and left me changing my tire on an complete dark highway at 11pm while cars and trucks rushed by me, the week and weekend went smashingly.  Seriously.  Shout out to all those that came and heard a brotha read at the Nuyorican, LouderArts and Urbana.  One of my best trips in a while.
