Oh also when I was first biking out the other way I went down the new (-ish, by now the twee subsidized yuppie amenity stores are being replaced with real rentpaying \u201cVIP Nails + Sauna\u201d etc.) condo canyon on Division to see what the late night life was
TOTALLY DEAD from like 50th at least to Reel M Inn at 26th, but at one point I passed a guy in a cubby of one condo building and was like \u2013 wait, was that dude shirtless wearing his t-shirt as a face mask?
And I looked back and he was, and as I slowed down he started yelling and coming towards me holding something, but then I saw he\u2019d taped a square of cardboard to a wall and I was like \u201caah, a stencil tagger\u201d and kept going
Still in retrospect it flatters my self image to know that if I come across a stranger on the street after midnight who comes at me aggressively shirtless and masked my instinct is to be like \u201cwait slow down maybe I should be having conflict\u201d
