You've encouraged people to "dress with moxy." What kind of outfits will you be expecting?
SB: I'm sure we'll get some Tenenbaum outfits, some Squid and Whale outfits, prolly some headbands. Though I think it'd be great if somebody did a complete non sequitur, dress like a piece of asparagus

You also have a prize for "shortest shorts" - any thought that some dude will just show up bottomless? What would the prize for that be? Pants?
SB and LB: We're averting our eyes from this question.

Will there be any type of royalty in attendance?
SB: Dunno. We could crown the wanker who comes sans pantalones. He deserves something. A crown and a kick in the choads sounds bout right.

Are there any thoughts of doing other Wii Sports tournaments?
SB: Mos def. We're considering hosting Wiimbledon tourneys in other cities, perhaps leading up to Wimbledon 2008.

Please share your strangest "only in New York" story.
LB: You've got to be kidding, my moms reads Gothamist!

SB: First month I was here, I guess this was September 2002, I was on the C to Brooklyn. This huge black dude, like Michael Clark Duncan huge, walks onto the car in track pants and a black tank top and sits down with his legs spread wide. Y'know, that sitting position that says 'don't sit near me.'

So in walks this skinny white kid with a shoulder bag. There's plenty of room in the seats, but what's he do but wiggle his scrawny ass into a seat beside Gigantor and open up his ratty copy of Crime and Punishment. Then the kid said something under his breath, I couldn't hear it, but Gigantor did and he turned to the kid and said 'what'd you say?'

The kid made some kinda mousy squeaking noise, and then Gigantor stood up and repeated his question. The kid got up too, at which point Gigantor put him in a headlock and started punching him in his nose. After a few blows he let the kid go and ran out of the car. The kid, crying, asked if anybody was gonna call the police. At which point a lady down at the end of the car told him 'well maybe you shouldn't be sittin by big men, son.'

I usually stand by the doors, myself.

Given the opportunity, how would you change New York?
LB: Bring back the blackout. Not the rolling one, but the big one. That would have made me want to move to the city if I hadn't already lived here then.

SB: Mandatory 24 hour bodegas in Brooklyn.

Favorite headlines: NY Post or Daily News?
SB: Is this even a contest? Post.

LB: I'm in PR. No comment.
