Oh, sorry, the part that says there will be an overflow section for 10k people. Not true.

"As we mentioned earlier this week, only 50K of the 60K will have spots with a view, the rest are sent to a space with no sightline of the stage or their precious Jon Bon -- though they will allegedly be able to hear the Jersey rockers." This is not true, as confirmed by events staff from Central Park. In fact, when the rumor was mentioned at a meeting today, all the higher-ups laughed.

I did a total double-take when I saw the MTA sign this morning though. "Bon Jovi? Did I really just read that on a service advisory sign?"

I saw a Bon Jovi sign on the B/D/F/V platform at Bryant Park today. Not photoshopped.

I thought the top picture looked photoshopped too, and I'm the photographer! Other than upping the contrast a bit I didn't alter a thing.

July 12, 2008 a day of infamy in new york city where 60,000 douchebags run rampant and trample through the beautiful park while listening to the cloying dreck of 5 other douchebags
