On the heels of Mtv’s new series Skins, I’m launching my controversial new blog-series Trash: NYC. I’m sure the parallels are obvious...
Skins – Underage kids doing above-the-age stuff.
[No logo yet]
Trash:NYC – Old me, sifting through garbage in plain sight of people.
Freaky similar plotlines, right?
Season 1 / Episode 1: COLLEGE TRASHY
First day of shooting and I found one of NY’s finest. I believe this can is one of the ’05 models.
Location: 3rd and 12th – right in front of the NYU dorm building.
Day/Time: Presidents’ Day / Afternoonish
Observation: Since it was a long holiday weekend the spoiled kids weren’t around to litter the can.
Cost of viewable trash:
Gourmet coffee – $3.49
Poland Spring – $1.42
Gatorade – $4.48
Total: $9.39
Final assessment: Sadly since it was a holiday I found no evidence of fun in the trash: condoms, drugs, alcohol, etc.
Sorry. I’m hoping for a stronger episode 2.
