Glass of Water's Journal: ass kicking places

i live in new york, which is the biggest city in the country and probably the richest city in the world. now, the following is my opinion and it might be bullshit, but...

NY should be an ass kicking all out party town if you just look at the math. there are mad colleges, bars, freaks, beautiful people, artists, musicians. there are a million places to go out and bands play here all the time.

why does new york fall short? i have never quite known the answer to this. maybe everyone's just too busy working their asses off to enjoy themselves. once you stop working your ass off, you are too poor to go out, or so it seems.

maybe there is too much choice and you can never get enough people to focus on one thing, one spot, or one movement to make it make a dent in the seas of humanity.

or MAYBE the thing is that everything that can be done here is rooted out and discovered too early by too many people. a cool place opens up on your block and it's in a magazine before you even get to go there. every show i want to go to is always last week or sold out. my favorite places to go are so crowded on the weekends it's fucking ridiculous. in the summer, even the stoops where you could just sit and sneak a beer are full of other people. who ever heard of sharing a stoop? i've done it. basically, there are so many people here who want to go out and hang out, that if where you are is not crowded, you got to start asking yourself why.

i don't know. somehow, it's the medium sized places like cleveland and shit where you hae a really wild time.

am i wrong?
