Shout to all the i.C. producers and prA’li supporters that believe in my internets steez enough to send me operational money from their own wallets. Trust me that I don’t spend too much of your money on *ahem* medicine.
RAFI and I were traveling up to the beautiful Catskills Mountains in upstate New York to meet up with CASIMIR because ‘Bodega’ was being screened at the Woodstock Film Festival. I reserved a ZipCar for our trip. ZipCar is cool as shit because for the flat rate of your rental they pick up all of your gas and toll costs. Not even on some re-imbursable type ish either. Each car is equipped with and E-Z Pass and a gas card. Chea!
I reserved the Toyota Matrix for 7am at a garage a few blocks from Penn Station. When I arrived at 7:10am the garage was shuttered closed. Plus it was raining. It turns out that this garage didn’t open until 8am. I found this out at 7:40am after the attendant arrived. I called ZipCar’s customer service and I pitched a bitch. I told the rep that I had to get to movie screening in the mountains, but before all of that I had to pick the co-star. ZipCar sent me to another garage that was open and they upgraded my Matrix to a BMW 328i. Chea!
RAFI and I arrived early because I coasted up the NY Thruway at 90mph. Even the state troopers we encountered didn’t want it with us. The screening went down lovely and as you might imagine ‘Bodega’ was the belle of the ball, inciting the loudest laughs and getting us some groupie love on the streets of Woodstock. Since ZipCar also extended my reservation into a 24 hour window I used the time to…
a) Pick up a television from RAFI and bring it to my apartment in Freeport
b) Go grab up Chocolate Snowflake and have dinner with her siting in the car on Main Street in DUMBO overlooking the downtown Manhattan skyline
c) Stunt hard through Manhattan on a Sunday night
I can’t wait for the day when a company like ZipCar sponsors my site or the i.C.’s. That day can’t be too far off. In the meantime and in between time I will keep on making my vids and talking my talk.
