I am actually interested in a deeper look at some of these people who make up the new wave of transient residents.

He always says something like, "A little help on the way out? If you have it." I give what I can but I'm not working right now so it's not much.

When I moved to the East Village I made my girlfriend give up her amp to make room for me in the apartment. She gave the amp to Kevin. We love hearing him argue from our window. Please interview him.
