To my knowledge, Jamaica’s is the only national flag to not contain red, white or blue.

Yeah! Teriyaki would work great if you like it sweeter.

No because it’s not really within my budget.

Sure am excited about my new light bulbs though.

Fuck yeah, grilled alongside the patty, maybe a soy sauce glaze.

Fuck that abomination you described though.

Before she was famous Lady Gaga used to hang out at a tiny bar in lower Manhattan. She go-go danced sometimes and was part of the scene of regulars there.

I started working there years later after she had become a superstar and a lot of those regulars still hung out there. She was still tight with them and even in a relationship with my boss. She didn’t come around much though and we had to keep things on the DL.

One night she gave an unadvertised performance in the back room with a jazz combo of some of the regulars backing her. A secret show: If you knew, you knew.

No rich person hired her. She just wanted to do something fun with her friends.

Having John Landis write the story didn’t hurt.

David Bowie. He was such a cultural touchstone that influenced so much artistry on top of being a brilliant artist himself. I lived in New York City when he died and the stoop of his apartment turned into a makeshift memorial with countless people contributing objects that held significance to their relationship with him. I was so overwhelmed to see it that I cried.

Someone in the props department snuck in a joke.

If any of the detectives from Law and Order come in to my bar I absolutely will not remember that random patron from five days ago.

I definitely remember it being used in the 80s.

Nope. Somehow I just crave a piece of white bread after eating a brownie and then maybe repeating the process. I have no rational explanation for this.

Guitars. Some minor upgrades can get you a decent instrument. I wouldn’t use one as my primary guitar but it’s cool to have something a little different to play around with.

Bartender. I don’t get a lunch break so I just drink on the clock.

After hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico a friend posted on social media asking if anyone could house his friend from San Juan. I was living in a house Brooklyn and I volunteered. His name was Robert and he was a really great dude. I really enjoyed hanging out with while he stayed. I told him he could stay as long as he wanted. He was such a boss that he had a chef job and his own New York apartment within two weeks.

I’ve eaten a lot of raw hotdogs in my day. I wouldn’t mind
