Dante
I realized our Web site was missing from the Dante article, so I thought I’d send it. There is free music and upcoming shows on the Web site: www.dantessongs.com. We had a great time playing for the St. Ann’s Festival, and eating all the food! We look forward to doing more shows, and completing the album. Thank you! – Dante, Jersey CityOverheard on Sixth Avenue, Manhattan

Overheard on Washington Street

Pause.

Overheard in a bodega on Washington Street
DRUNK CUSTOMER: I want my $50 back.
CASHIER: Why do I owe you $50?
DRUNK CUSTOMER: Because I was up to no good.
CASHIER: No – you lost the bet.
OTHER CUSTOMER: What was the bet?
DRUNK CUSTOMER [sheepishly]: That I could eat two croissants in two minutes.
OTHER CUSTOMER: You couldn’t eat two croissants in two minutes?
WOMAN: That’s pretty weak.
