Got Caught Up In No Pants 2k8 NYC Subway Ride

I had already heard that Improv Everywhere’s “No Pants 2k8″ was going to happen today, so I wasn’t too surprised when about 50 sans-pants people flooded the subway car I was in today as I was headed on a downtown N to Union Square around 3:30 pm.

Who Is On Your CMJ “Hot List”?

I realize it’s CMJ week, but personal commitments and work have kept me from even vaguely figuring out who to go see. What are your suggestions for the “must see” bands of CMJ? Is this year any better than last year’s event–where I saw 0 concerts?

As I was perusing the most recent newsletter from New York Public Library and saw a profile for “Hudson Morgan, an Associate Editor at Men’s Vogue and a Co-Chair for the 2007 Young Lions Benefit Party.”

Here’s what the Standford University graduate, and former New Republic employee and Lloyd Grove whipping boy, had to say:
