I clicked on this link wondering if you were that guy I've seen in Washington Square Park. And lo and behold, you are. Cool. How long do you normally stay out in a day? How many stories would you typically collect during that time?

How awesome! Unfortunately I'm far from the city for college right now, but I will definitely come and say hi once I make it back. Keep up the fascinating work. The aspiring journalist in me loves this kind of story-telling.

I remember reading the piece when it first came out...it was probably one of the first post magazine features I read. Years later I was assigned to read the story for a high school journalism class. That teacher somehow convinced Eric Knaus to come talk to us after we all read the article. He seemed to be doing OK, but wasn't married if I recall. This was 2010 or 2011.

I'm bummed I missed this AMA. It feels like I grew up on Weingarten features.
