Welcome

We've been waiting for you

The kid on the left was so funny. One day last week, he just walked up to me and started saying the word “please” over and over. No introductions. No explanations. Just “please.” His friend had never heard of HONY and was very confused. I ended up taking their photo, but the photo never made it on the blog. Then yesterday I received an email. Clearly worried that his photo had been lost in the shuffle, our protagonist tried to spice up his portrait with a self-described “interesting” backstory. The story proved hilariously weak. In essence, he used 250 words to say he was on the way to his house to grab a frisbee: “My friends and I were all hanging out on the upper east side, five of us to begin with. We all decide to go to the great lawn in central park because of the beautiful day that it was. Somehow, the idea got into their heads “we need to play frisbee on the lawn.” Being the only person whose house was within walking distance, I was essentially forced into going home and picking up my frisbee—something that I was not trying to do because of reasons undisclosed. Reluctantly, I went, and dragged my friend Matt with me for company. On such a beautiful day, how could one be in a bad mood? Easy: be forced to go do something that one does not want to do. The series of events made me a little bummed out, until I walked two blocks and ran into “that guy who does HONY.”Anyway, I am posting his portrait as a testament to perseverance.

well done
