    I love the velvet underground. Weird story. So, i was living in nyc about 6 months ago and i was walking along the chelsea piers at about 11 o clock at night minding my own business. Anyway, i am standing on the pier by the hudson river and this dog walks up to me and starts sniffing my leg and so i pet the dog for about 10 seconds. I look up and the man holding the leash is none other than lou reed. I almost shit myself. We actually talked for about 5 minutes and then he walked into his apt building. The whole thing was very very surreal. I've heard that he's kind of an asshole, but he was very pleasant to me.

    hmmm nico's voice was weird but I think it worked on all tomorrow's parties.
