I was in Brooklyn during Hurricane Sandy, and I was fortunate because where I was, we
didn't lose power, and we were fine.
There was no real damage where I was.
The friends from out of state would call me up, and they'd be like, hey, how you doing?
And I was just sitting on my couch playing Xbox, drinking cocoa, just like, I'm maintaining
some money.
And it was crazy because I was fine, but I remember seeing lower Manhattan was just
pitch black, just darkness.
And I went into lower Manhattan.
It was scary.
People were walking around with flashlights, and it was just terrifying.
And I remember thinking it reminded me of that last Batman movie where Bane blew up
the bridges to cut off access in and out of Gotham City.
But I felt like I lived the town one over.
So I could see it all.
It was like, oh, that's terrible.
Oh, I hope Batman stops Bane.
But you know what?
If he doesn't, I'm not going to miss that commute.
Like, were the restaurants in Gotham City really that great?
I could get sushi anywhere.
That movie plays a lot differently when you just view Bane as an overzealous bridge and
tunnel guy, just trying to keep people from overdeveloping his neighborhood.
