I'm gonna start putting the main subjects in bold. that way you'll know what it's about...

The Beatles played, well, not really The Beatles, but they did play their hits.  Heck, they could have been BIGGER than The Beatles, read the sign behind them.  

I was on West 21st, at the SVA art studios between 5th and 6th aves., in to see a friend's art show.  People were smoking at every open window, in the middle of the studio, and in every secluded space.

"It's just part of the installations" they told me.

I was introduced to a group of girls, Alison, Jane, and Olivia, while they were attempting to gulp down what may have been the hardest tasting wine I've ever sampled.  They too were there to see the same friend, among others.

(Matt) Ferrer: Hey Will
Me: Hey, What are you up to?
Matt: Nothing, man, just watching America's Funniest Home Videos.
Me: Cool, man. Hey, I'm not really that tired. Did you want to come over?
Matt: Sure! I'll be there in fiiiive minutes.
Me: See ya.
