Steppers Heaven, found!

Unbelievable! Blues band found! The train rolled into Downtown Crossing yesterday and I saw the guitarist/singer playing again. Seriously?? I love it! So... apparently they are NOT called the Scappers, but Steppers Heaven. My bad. Apparently it was the English accent that threw me off. Who knew. I got to meet one of the band's members though, Bobby, and lucky for you I have a facebook link (click the title and watch some videos)!

At a Loss for the Blues

So a couple of days ago, I actually saw and heard some really GOOD performers while waiting at Downtown Crossing for the Orange line. 2 guitarists, one of them singing, sounding a little John Mayer-esque, a little blues-ish. I actually have no jokes about them, accept that I can't find them! They said they were called The Scappers and are on facebook, but no luck so far :-(

Naked man runs free on the NYC Subway

THIS man is shouting obscenities, while running NAKED in the NYC subway. WHAT????? I thought the Boston T was ridiculous. Nope. Security, please! (Click title for video footage...)

Miracle on the T

WAAAAIT a minute! The blind woman is texting!?!?! Jesus is performing miracles on the MBTA. What in the world? She's standing on the opposite platform and still has the giant black lab though... Geez,maybe there are cell phones with Braille keypads? Maybe she's legally blind, but not totally without vision? I am so uninformed...

Repeat Offender

Today, there was a man on the T soliciting an extra $10 for the commuter rail to get to a town outside the city: "Please, if you can help me out. I'm trying to get to... I have $18.80 and I need $28 to get there. Please, I'm in rehab..." And after some silence and no donations, the guilt trip set in: "Please, come on, no one has anything? I just need a few dollars!"

I may have just been guilt tripped by a beggar. I gave him a dollar. The man sitting next to me then says the same dude was here a few days ago asking for money to visit his kids or something. Sooo, this was not a one time deal, and basically I've been "had"? Great. On the bright side, I have high hopes that this man will have a job soon based on his fundraising abilities alone.

Contact Sports

Hockey is definitely a contact sport. But is weed-smoking? I think there might be more fighting than goals going on in a game of hockey, but I shouldn't judge, I'm not an avid watcher. What I DO watch is where I sit on the bus, and a few days ago, I think I almost got a contact high from a fellow T-rider and Bruins fan. I sat down behind an older gent dressed in the signature bumble-bee yellow & black Boston Bruins jersey and shortly after realized he smelled like a doobie... looks like the bees aren't the only ones buzzing, sir.

Embryo Status

Seriously, I think this is the tightest space I've been in since the womb. I'm on the train wondering why people are trying to pack it in like sardines. You know you don't realllly wanna go to work... Anyways, thank goodness State Street is the next stop. It's about to be Exodus out here, movement of Ja people. Looks like Moses and Bob Marley understood my pain.
