So it's true...As "Back to the Future" just celebrated it's 25th anniversary, I was able to share a smile with M.J.Fox himself....
(granted, this share session had nothing to do with my 1985 encounter with hover boards, the importance of going 88mph or even Family Ties...none the less, it was a rare and special moment that few might experience and I greatly appreciated)
That said....my Back to the Future bucket list feels incomplete...I've yet to see an actual Delorean on the streets of NY in person...I mean, it's NY. C'mon Brooklyn...Imagine rolling up to your favorite coffee shop, not opening your doors, but raising them and then ordering a coffee. It's the epitimy of cool if you ask me.
Given there were only 9,000 made, I know my chances are few...but my year end goal is to see one of these futuristic beauties. While John Delorean was convicted of drug trafficking and ripping off most of his business partners,...his business model was simple: "Listen to Rock and Roll and it's easy to know what young buyers want." Touche Johnny. Touche.
Bums. Booze. Wisdom. Design. Your go to rainy day blog about all things you probably don't need to know, probably won't remember tomorrow, but will most likely make you smile today Brooklyn blog.

The Cane Statement...
When is 'caning' acceptable...? and I'm not talking about legal corporate punishment in Singapore...
I'm talking about using a cane as an accessory when you have fully functioning legs. Tonight on my festive commute home through Williamsburg I saw a bearded hottie reminescent of a skinny Paul Bunyan using a cane whilst walking. There was no limp, in fact...he barely used the authentic wood cane for support at all. From the observation deck ( right side window seat on the B62 ), he definetely caught my attention, but are canes the new flannel shirt? I hope not...
Who can Cane;
-Waldo
-Sheep herders
-The coolest fictional hipster of them all.
