Yeah, that’s the working title for a documentary I’m working on.
So far here’s the plan I have as I’ve begun some very preliminary research:
- Interview subway commuters at various subway stations and find out how they feel about night and weekend service. Be sure to ask:
- Where they commute to/from?
- How often they go into the city during these times?
- Would they be willing to pay higher rates for better service?
- Once I have a good sample of opinions and a sense of common public sentiment, I’d like to start contacting the appropriate authorities on the MTA board about who makes these decisions. I also want to know if these people commute on the subway at all.
That’s it for now. More as it comes.

This is going to be my first open identity blog. I’m sure this is something I want to do that may have an audience considering that I have never taken the time to create any official ‘memoirs’ of my shenanigans, coupled with the fact that I now have a wide variety of friends and family who are only aware of components of my life (each touching their own part of the elephant, so to speak). There’s at least a few of you who might enjoy these stories. Beyond that I’m hoping I’ll glean a little bit of sense about the path I’ve walked and where it’s taking me.
I’m planning on posting at least one journal a day, and at least one long story from the past each week.
That might sound like a bold statement, but I’m not gonna tell you about this blog until I’ve got at least 2 weeks worth of work up. Hopefully at that point I’ll have proved to both you and myself that I’m not a useless piece of shit.
