gay red sox fan v. gay yankee fan

I was at the game last night....being at Yankee Stadium, so much history....the pain of 1977 and 1978 comes right back...anyway...
Yankees win...Red Sox choke...

But during the game there was a guy wearing a Red Sox Veritek Tshirt...the guy had popcorn chucked at him and a lot of comments during the game...

So after the game I'm on the subway. Veritek guy is on the train with five of his friends and there are two obnoxious yankee fans on the train.

Now as a disclaimer, I sat next to two yankee fans that were fine. Cool guys...the people around me were mostly yankee fans and there were good, into the game and glad to be there. There were that 1 percent that had to go the extra mile...any strike out or bad play AAWWWWWW!!!!!, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!...any good play...YEAAA!!! TAKE THAT FAG SOX! But for the most part....yankee fans were ok...

Except these guys.

As does happen, Yankee fan started calling veritek gay. It's the card some guys go to automatically. Veritek guy goes with it...tells the guy to sit on his lap, for him and his friend to come over...says he's staying downtown, they should party....I mean he's going the extra mile...

Yankee fans say...no...we don't go that way Boston...Yankee fans are straight...

But Veritek guy won't leave it alone..."I can handle you and your buddy....Let's get this done..."

Neither of these camps is backing down.

Now, it gets weird.

Yankee fan says "well, if you want it so bad ...lick my ass....." He moves in front of the Veritek guy and waves his ass in his face....Veritek guy says "come on..."
Then Yankee fan pulls down his pants and his ass is about a foot from Veritek's face...

Now ass licking did not occur on the D train last night but it was pretty damn close...

For me the philosphical question, does it mean your gay if you have emotional feelings for me or if you drop your pants on the subway and offer your ass to a stranger...hmmmnnnn.....

Now Yankee fans friend is horrified but tries to play it off and moves down the car and pulls his buddy with him. They start talking to another group of people at the other end of the car and I started talking with some people about what we had just seen...

I missed what happened next but then....Veritek's friend and Gay Yankee fan and fighting! Gay Yankee fan has a cut on his eye and every one is worked up...but at least they have their clothes on.

It goes back and forth...they go to fight then pull back...fight...pull back...

Then they all left the train.....

That's New York....You never know what you're going to get....Yankee win, Gay sex on the subway....fight...or all of the above...

I ended up at the Blue Note for jazz after the game ...and it was great...I put the subway out of my mind...until...I wanted to write about it now....

On my way to the airport in a bit....
Later

WOW!

I checked out of the Waldorf this morning. It's an Icon, there's history so I thought I would give it a try but really, it's a small, old ...hilton. Service, marginal. Most people were nice but once I was checking out...they were polite but I don't feel like part of a family...
So I saw Letterman...which was cool. Not great but well what do you want it's a tv show.
I moved to the Chelsea Hotel, after leaving the taping.
Now the Chelsea also has a long history. Artists, writers, Musicans have lived there for years and years...Mark Twain, Dylan Thomas...Sid Viscious Killed his girl friend at the Chelsea...and Arthur C. Clarke wrote 2001: A Space Oddysey while living there.
I though, "hey..another icon..." but really this place has a great feel. It is undeniably unique...my room has a balcony, I can walk out on ...look down on the street...Most places, you're sealed up, like living in a chinese food container....The room here breathes...the doors and windows don't fit. Over time the joints and seals have become misshaped and everything has changed since it was built. Art is on every floor of the stairs....I walked top to bottom just to see it all. The roof has a patio...with no childproof, 10 foot high protection....I leaned over just to look down....I held on to the stone ledge and it scared the shit out of me....but...I was really experiencing something....and to me the best part of all, and I'm taking as a statement....No Gideon Bible! It's the only time I'm seen it! No Bible! Awesome!
I even worked on my journal and some of it was better and different than I have ever done...
It's a pretty good day....I'm only here for two more days....but this will be a great place to come back to.
they even have a kinko's 24 hrs around the corner so I can post with pictures!
The little places....
If you come to NYC you have to check this place out!

times square

There are a couple of internet spots in times square so this is where I'm posting from. The hotel room internet is pretty much crap. When you sign on it tells you your information may be comprimised...What the hell is that? Check your email and for the rest of your life the Hilton owns you? I'm not that impressed with the service and the hotel itself really....Anyway,
The game was postponed from 1:10PM to 8:05 PM...I made a trip out to the park for nothing...but it was nice to take a walk around with out a lot of people...The new park, Citi Park is being build right next to Shea, just like new Busch and old Busch in St. Louis. Signs say will open in 2009.
I'm excercising and watching what I eat. I'm in a bet at work...who loses the most weight. I almost fell of the wagon last night...after a lot of walking I was itching for cheesecake and coffee...but I held out...I'm down 6 lbs...only what? 24 to go...
more later...

NY

I got to the airport yesterday... and had to take a massive dump. I had a couple of minutes so went...The stall had the spare tire size roll of toilet paper....but ...no paper! F. I made do with the spares I carry but....I hope it's not an omen.
I'm in Times Square at Burger King with internet. The city has changed even from 2005 when I was here.
Dodgers v Mets tomorrow
