Josh: Within less than a year of knowing Jeff, I decided to make him an usher at my Bar Mitzvah.

Halloween Costumes Done Right

Ego of the Week: Ben Alisuag
Street: What's the soundtrack to your life? Benjamin Alisuag: The soundtrack to my life is In Search Of… by N.E.R.D.
Ego of the Week: Josh Bennett
Street: What’s the soundtrack to your life? Josh Bennett: The current soundtrack to my life is Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool. Socially critical, playful, lyrically complex — it’s essentially everything that I want people to say about my body of work when I’m gone. Street: Who’s the coolest person you’ve ever met? JB: The coolest person I’ve ever met would have to be [The Boondocks cartoonist] Aaron McGruder.
If iPod, Do You Pod?

It’s been likened to the Death Star — you know, the fictional space-age abode of a certain Darth Vader — and for obvious reasons.
Ego of the week: Gabe Head
Street: If you could write your own superlative, what would it be? GH: “Tired of being introduced as the guy with the fellacious name.” Street: What was your first reaction when you found out what your superlative was? GH: I got three mentions! Street: In high school you were most likely to…? GH: “Star in a pornographic film.” Street: What do you plan to name your children? GH: Anything but Gabe. Street: Why not just go by Gabriel? GH: Because then I would never be in 34th Street. Street: When did you realize that your name might be the potential source of amusement for others / yourself? GH: My seventh grade teacher gave me the hilarious nickname of “Give ‘em.” Street: Who’s the coolest person you’ve ever met?
