The Lincoln Center Posse
The Lincoln Center area of NYC has a strong geriatric pose. One must be cognizant of this posse when invading their turf. Some tips include:
- Do not yell out how sore you are from last night’s whips and windmills. Didn’t get too many good looks on the foreign film line with that one. Actually, anyone who doesn’t on-2 wouldn’t get that I was referring to turn patterns.
- Do not argue with the 65 year old lady who watched the entire sub-titled movie with bronze-tinted sunglasses on who insists to you that the film was in black and white, when you clearly saw the film in color. Do not wait for her after the movie to continue the argument. You may be jumped in the bathroom.
- Do not expect to go too fast walking down the sidewalk. Embrace it and be patient. They made it this far, hats off.
- Dress it up a little bit lest you be a Raggedy-Anne in a sea of black and white tuxes, minks, full suits, etc.
- Only they can yell loud to hear one another if someone of their pack is hard of hearing. If you are loud, you are an unruly, rude youth without class.
- Mourn, seeing the crowd who is slowly invading their turf… Oh, what horror is raining down upon the Upper West Side!
