Alot of strange shit happened around this time.. we bumped our cabbie from the bar, and just walked out of his cab like it was normal, then into a liquor store, where he tried to get the money from us, we just walked past him again.. it's odd how casual the whole thing was, then we just walked into our hostel.. Soon after we inadvertently stole a girls phone! Some strange guy gave us a vicodin, and we were hanging out with some accountant from Leeds that nobody knew, and he'd come to New York on his own... THEN we got kicked off the roof for being simply TOO MUCH.

Checked out the next morning and sat around feeling terrible for a number of hours in a room full of Spanish women. Went and got a pizza breakfast while Jack and AC hit the shops -

Ben told us he could eat a whole pizza, and we egged him on to prove it (obviously).. needless to say he failed, eating only 4 slices, and none of the crusts.

Got creative with our newly acquired phone.

Found out we could get on the roof from a fire escape!

After we'd had our fun with the phone, we donated it to this lovely woman, telling her it was a space phone from the future. Needless to say she was HAPS.

E-M-O-T-I-O-N-A-L!!!

I'll leave it there.

Deadly Rhythm said...

nice one man. However not being able to eat a whole pizza is poor form-from all of you, like it was some debatable thing or some work of God....call yourselves men.

Beefy

Matthew Schnickens said...

Nah man, a regular pizza could no doubt get dealt with.. this one was 15 inches!! One slice was filling.. trust me, you couldn't.

Shar said...

The largest trip! Its a shame you didnt join me and Jake for the $200 trip to the seediest strip bar in town. Those Vicodins sent me different!!!

Leumas said...

The pictures are big, I almost died when I came to the part about the phone from the future. Good shots Matt. Dunno why I thought Witts was coming too . . .

Matthew Schnickens said...

Who was the vicodin man!?! Why did he give them to us?! Alex said he looked like the fat guy from Jurasic Park!?!

Surreal times.

Josey Rebelle said...

yeah, pics are good =)

you know, i've just realised that there are a couple of members of the bntl posse that are particularly easy on the eye. there were a few unpure thoughts running through my innocent mind when i went through the shots.

ahem.

Matthew Schnickens said...
