DON'T SLEEP IN THE SUBWAY, DARLING

When I first moved to New York City back in February of 1995, I made a strict rule of never riding the subway after 10pm (I didn't want to get mugged). That time limit was soon moved to 11pm and the longer I lived there, the more comfortable I became about late-night subway service. So comfortable, in fact, that the last few weeks I lived in "My Oz," I could sometimes be seen taking the 1/9 home around 4:30am, fucked-up DRUNK.

But Drunk or sober, commute hours or after hours, I NEVER fell asleep on the subway, and this is why.

You're welcome.
