Last night was the final game in the history of the Meadowlands, a stadium the New York Jets have called home since 1984.
The weather was unfathomably cold as the NFL decided to move the game from 1 pm to 8 pm, and the stadium was unfathomably dry, as the Jets decided it was not wise to sell alcohol in an environment that could have become chaotic at the drop of a hat. As if there wasn't enough emotions running through all the frozen fans, if the Jets won the game, they are in the playoffs, if they lose, they're out, and have shamed the stadium, like some not to be named team did a week before.
Last night, Low, Ebone and myself attended the Knicks/Hawks game in Atlanta. I renounced my Knicks fanship a few years ago when they submarined the Jet's Westside stadium (amongst other things), but I figured it I would break out my Knicks 1999 game 4 of the finals tee shirt (thank you Emmett), a brown paper bag with eye holes and head on down.

“Bloody footprints were found on Montauk’s Willow Road by an anonymous resident while jogging this morning. The witness was mildly suspicious, but continued her run until she spotted more blood. After stopping, the runner encountered a “beastly creature” lying along the beach path, authorities reported.
Last Friday I saw Jay-Z preform at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. I have seen Jay preform numerous times, however, this was one of the most personal and intimate shows I've ever seen by an artist of any genre. I was almost kicked out for videotaping but that was the most illegal thing being done in that arena. Check out the videos!
LOLA New York is named in honor and loving memory after an abandoned, overgrown plot of land known as Lola Prentice Memorial Park. Using stolen wood from construction sites of nearby houses, a home-made skate-park rose out of nowhere within a month. It was organized, run and enforced by dozens of twelve and thirteen year olds. The park became a legendary refuge and playground for unsupervised youths. Around 1998 it became too popular and boisterous and the police decided shut it down unannounced; destroyed the ramps, dumping gravel over the park and building a police station on the grounds.
Through the designs, music, artwork, events & clothing the values of Lola Prentice Memorial Park: loyalty, freedom, creativity and camaraderie are able to live on and blossom.
