but…but, shouldn’t the festivities have been down here, in Baltimore? My Wire celebration consisted of watching the police helicopter buzz Greenmount Ave. like three times before midnight.

oh god.
I take it back.
HBO please put my new show on television.
No one affiliated with your fine network looks anything like David Gest.

dee, right? i also forgot to mention the wire is the most important sociological/sociopolitical document of the 21st century.
steve, david simon is on the left. the person in the middle is a woman, and is the mega-head of HBO programming. the person on the right is Richard Butler.

that’s David Simon in the middle?
why does he look SO MUCH like David Gest?
anyway I’ve been binging hardcore on The Wire in the last month never having watched it before. I’m on S4Ep2 hoping to catch up in the next week.
small correction, D’angelo Barksdale died in Season 2 not 1.
I LOVE BUNK!

you can get utz crab chips at the bodega outside the clinton/washington A stop in ft greene, or if u are in park slope i think that bodega on 8th and 14th, you know the last one you hit if you are walking south toward the park slope pavilion, i think that one has them

Epic recap. I would have lost my shit if I was there. I am beyond geeked for tonight’s episode, been avoiding spoilers left and right. Even gonna make some crab cakes, see if I can find some Utz crab chips and grape soda and if I wanna get live, pick up some Jaime at the liquor store.
Looking forward to the Monday recaps too.
