My own stint in New York was
brief – half euphoria, half panic.
I had tried to move there from Kansas nearly two years prior in the fall
of 2000, in love with versions of the city I had dreamed of while reading
biographies of Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles in high school, and
feeling desperately stifled and out of place in Lawrence after a life-changing
year studying abroad at Oxford. I
dropped my classes – mostly post-modern philosophy – petitioned to graduate
early, and got a job delivering pizzas.
I saved up two thousand dollars, and thought that would be enough to
find an apartment in Greenwich Village – that it would be just like winter 1961
as recounted by Dylan. Needless to
say, I bounced off the atmosphere.
