And Since I Made it Here, I Can Make it Anywhere
S05.2019
How fitting this is issue 19, and this is 2019. I originally finished the draft around 2017/2018 and thought I lost it. It was bugging the heck out of me. I wanted to get better at putting things out into the world, even if it felt like a draft to me, an unfinished product, it still can inspire someone or show that my potential has not yet been reached. I'm growing, I'm progressing. I randomly found it backed up in my google drive last week after a year or so of thinking I lost the draft. I kept the assembly of edits the same and added some music by producer Musikal. I added a touch of reverb on Vince's voice to give it a spoken/word hip hop interlude type effect.
Vince has been working on a webisode series titled Train of Thought NYC, where he shadows New Yorkers in their element of doing street performances/services near underground train transits. He asked if I could do a segment on him, where he talks about what it takes to survive in NYC, and what embodies the essence of the city.
And since I made it here
