Four Shot Times Square, Penn Station area last night
This explains the weird train ride back to my apartment last night. The A/C/E platform at 34th Street was very full, and people were LOUD. I moved several times because it was just so weird--people holding their kids and yelling--playfully--at each other, at their kids, whatever, just STOP SPEAKING SO LOUDLY. Lower your voice. I finally found a quiet section of the platform and after a longish wait, the train came--which was also full of the Loud. I sat down with my luggage (I went home this weekend) and two thugs near me starting squaring off, doing the whole wavy hand, shoulder, pounding the chest, National Geographic nonsense. I immediately got out of my seat and moved as far away as I could--everyone was extremely tense, thinking they were going to 1) fight, or 2) do something worse, like pull a weapon. They got off at the next stop and everyone in the car was craning to watch them, to see if they were actually going to fight. Really kind of scary. Now that I think about it, the walk through Penn Station was also weird, I definitely sensed something, there seemed to be a lot of guys acting aggressively.
