I can tell you one thing, don't sleep in the subway. There are creeps who will hover over you and very softly steal everything you have, and you won't feel a thing. I had my wallet, sunglasses and American Spirits stolen that way.
Then there was the Mexican that stole not one but two guitars, first offering me a choice the laptop or the guitar and then showing up at my Air Bnb with an old man asking if I said something about his Mother and running away with a second guitar though. Fuckin asshole spick.
I've lost more guitars than that though.
I wonder if Independence Park still has my three laptops and dress clothes from when I got arrested for being drunk and roudy.
What I've learned is get a job and have your own place to sleep in and keep your stuff in.
