Breaking character for a minute here, sorry...
There was a huge fire at Grace Cleaners this morning (next door to Dizzy's on 9th) Looks like it burnt its way up the building. Hope to hell everyone is ok - you could smell the smoke for blocks.
If you've got any more info, let us know.

Most exciting thing to happen to our street since the hostage crisis of Jan 2008 (http://impudentways.blogspot.com/2008/01/cashmere-hostage-crisis.html)
Saw the smoke on 7th Ave and 9th/10th Street when I was walking to the F train around 10:10 this morning. It must have *just* broken out b/c the fire trucks were still trying to make their way down 7th and up 10th to it. LOADS of smoke. Hope no one was injured.
I walked by after the fire was out. Witnesses said no one was hurt. The building to the right was also spared, although I'm sure there is smoke damage.
I talked to 'Mark' at Dizzy's and while they are airing the place out right now, they expect to be open for dinner tonight.
So what happens to people's clothes? Does everybody get insurance money or something?
Just to add to the chaos and confusion this morning, Disney is filming the Sorcerer's Apprentice on the same block today and tomorrow -- I initially thought it was all part of the filming before realizing that my dry cleaning had just gone up in smoke.
Good people at Grace, sorry to see the place burn. Hope everyone is ok.
I hope my clothes are alright.
i hope this stopped nick cage from making an abortion of a movie. and that everyone is alright
it wouldn't matter if it did stop me, i would just find another piece of shit to be in because that's how i roll.
by the way, this isn't therealnicolascage.
My wife's going to think I've been having an affair with Smokey Bear.
W: "What DO I smell on you, nigga?!"
T: "Uh, this shirt was at Grace...remember the fire?"
W: "Fire my ass! This is the last straw, motherfucker! You've fucked around one too many times! Who was it this time, Smokey Bear?"
T: "Naw, baby. Why you gotta be like that?"
W: "Get out! Out! And take your fire-fresh homo bear dick with you."
Just sayin'
