I’m curious if anyone can get these that I floated earlier. Too obscure? I didn’t think so. Why did they hold a concert out in Brooklyn? It was a fine idea at the time. What is it now? When I met you at the station, what were you holding in your hand? I’m not going to cook your favorite dish, but where will I order it from? ---
