Also, am scheming a guerilla social experiment: posting signs that say "Thank you for being respectful" in various locations and watching what happens. Will people start acting more respectful? TIME WILL TELL.
How did I miss PaperBoy on the ballot??? I should have voted for him! What a fantastic New Yorker. And, as always, Anne, you really brought out his personality. I feel like I was just hanging out with the two of you for the past few minutes.
I just LOVE your newsletter! For an old recluse like me, this is the best way to live in NYC. Ralph Gardner Jr. must have been joking about joining you and the Guardian Angels in order to get more subscribers . At least, I hope so.
I was just thinking how important Anne’s Substack is, especially in 2022. So many writers have focused on politics (myself included); it’s profoundly refreshing to have an outlet like this.
My heart is so warmed up. This is the first I've heard about Paperboy and I'm such a fan already. The outlook on win and lose is so refreshing and helpful to all of us. <3
Great profile for Paperboy, Sparkles! The cynic in me thinks he’s a plant from Eric Adams to make the mayor look normal. But my inner cynic is no fun. I’m rooting for Paperboy, and if they’re reading this, I urge them to build on their success and run for Congress again -- 15% of the vote a base you can build on!
Love the respectful tree! Especially the “No Pooping” dog sign, little JUNEBUG being entranced and the duck skeleton!!
Best line in this week’s newsletter goes to Ralph, of all people: “That is unfortunate news. I’ll have to cancel my new Marcus Aurelius business cards.” Ha!!!
The album, 500 WAYS TO HAVE FUN, was a self-fulfilling endeavor. My favorites on the album:
"Scan That Barcode"
"No Rubbing On My Sunblock!"
"How Many Ham"
"Sorry Had A Problem"
A title that should be on the next album: "Like A Student Government Kid"
I love everything about this, Sparkles.

The people who do not want the Dead Duck Tree Mastermind (DDTM) outed are COWARDS.
I hope you get to keep the rubber balls! 💟
“ Chatting at a Korean bubble tea/corn dog shop in Bushwick, I got the low-down on the day’s ensemble.”
The casual reference to Korean bubble tea/corn dog shop—lol is the type of delightful writing you’re so good at!
Paperboy Love Prince is an inspiration. I’m adding FUN to everything.
I did NOT expect to be so moved by Paperboy Love Prince's interview! He's the best. Love CAFE ANNE! Thanks for always finding such fun stories

1. Sweet shrine with rubber-band balls, etc. 2. He’s got a good point about ‘capitalistic fun.’
Also, putting in a vote for investigating the tree caregivers. I love it! It's so wholesome.

Yet again, an issue that makes me wish I lived in NYC! Amazing!
