As we got ready to head out of NYC we had one more pit stop to make. I had been looking for messenger bags the entire trip and Thor got a tip from Nayland Blake that I should seek out stores that carried Manhattan Portage. I should mention, messenger bags are totally out — little backpacks are all the rage right now.
Always one step out of style, we made our way over to a luggage store and Casey noticed on the map there was Beastie Boys square nearby. What was this?!
Turns out it is the location of the cover photo from Paul’s Boutique and I say this with all sincerity, this should be a national landmark and restored to look like it once did. If anything, Wolfnights Gourmet Wraps should work with the Beasties and call it Paul’s Boutique Wraps.
Alas, the world changes. We have documentation. I can move on.
But still!
Anyway, I know all the words to The Sounds of Science by heart, that’s how much I love this album. You can view these lyrics at the bottom of my favorites page for the album, they’re very, very dense!
