Hunter Thompson knows what's going on. That's probably the most precise quote about New York I can think of.

I thought of you instantly when I saw it.

Also, he had a weird habit of corresponding with LL Bean about the quality of their merchandise -- were you aware of this? Because it's hilarious....

Take a gander at that.

Haven't hear any of these LL bean correspondences. I bet they're awesome. Are those letters or audio recordings?

Letters. He was quite the discerning consumer. He also used to write letters to the head of the only tv station he could get out at his ranch cussing him from left to right, top to bottom for providing "waterheaded" programming.

I love that man. I should buy some of his letters, one day when I'm not spending all my money on doctors bills....ugh/.... thanks insurance company that doesn't want to cover anything.
