I remember being a bicycle messenger in New York City for the first year that I was there. The reason I did that is because all it took was a bicycle and an identification. Then you’ve got the job and that’s about it. I remember going up and down New York City streets with all kinds of different packages and I can tell you this, after my experience on the Appalachian Trail, I know for a fact that we all were burning a good 45,000 cal a day… And that could be very tough! But I can guarantee you’ll sleep good at night! But… There’s one thing that was very special, and at the end of the day, all the messengers will go to Washington Square, Park, and just lay their bikes down on the grass and chill out and smoke blunts and talk in the guys I hung out with we’re stirfry, and of course they had police eagles, watching out for us to do something wrong or stupid, but after all, there is every trick in the book…. But one of my favorite things was to go over to the section of Washington Square, Park with a chess hustlers would operate. they had permanent tables there and these guys would sit down and they would have all kinds of different matches. They would do with the general public and by the end of the day they can walk home with about 400 bucks on average. I know because I make good friends with one of these dudes. it’s hard to become friends with them because they’re not gonna give up secrets, but are used to go and visit with them every day and just watch. I’m not really a chess player, and I certainly wouldn’t play against this dude his brain is sharp and he’s super fast and very good. and all those days I don’t think I can remember anyone ever beating him at the game. But what a great thing to experience as a part of my day is in NYC and especially part of my earliest days are.
fond memories.
