So, what's next? Dunno, I got a little time to figure it out.

I do have one idea, though: What if I kept doing the same newsletter independently? Who knows, it might even be better.

I was trying to remember the blog with live updates that he did when Milton Street did his casket stunt in 2007. It was this: Philadelphia Will Do. I remember laughing all afternoon refreshing for updates.

Beyond fucking unfair for him to be robbed of so much life and us to be robbed of him

It builds off other odd Streets Dept. stuff, like when two days before the storm the recycling truck took every other house's trash, while the trash truck never came.
