Street Change Heroes

After several months of negotiations it looks like things are finally moving forward with celebrities we had contacted earlier. Here is our first placement. Others will be featured in the upcoming campaign "If a celebrity can do it, why not you?"

Today the hero in me found 17 cents.

Six Cents More the Richer

A man rushed up the steps from the entrance of the subway as I was walking down. I heard that clink of a coin dropping. Someone else heard it too. By the time I looked around the man was gone. I scanned a few steps for the coin. It was a nickel. "Oh well, guess he was in a hurry" said the other person. I picked up the coin.

A penny. Just waiting for me to pick it up and deliver it to more of his friends.

Six Cents. All the Merrier.

Stay tuned for a spectacular announcement later in the week!

Bills (The Kind We Like)

I found paper money tonight! There were two single dollar bills lying on the sidewalk on Prospect Park West and Windsor Place. I've now found $9 in bills this year. And this latest find brings me to $32. Money's all around. You just gotta look.

I Am Legend

I found six pennies over the course of yesterday and today. Pennies remind me of the slogan "Keep Truckin'". Just keep plugging along and you'll get there. The lonely pennies I kept finding earlier in the week now remind me of a book I recently purchased. I bought a book yesterday called "I Am Legend" written by Richard Matheson. Another movie adaptation has been made of the story starring Gettin' Jiggy Wit It, Will Smith. Didn't know the story was writtin in 1952. Story takes place in the 70s. We'll see how far in the future this latest movie reincarnation takes place.
Just think, "I Am Legend" could've been with this guy:

30-something

Yes, I'm 30-something. And I just made it to $30. The next day after I found that lonely penny, I found another lonely penny. Maybe it was the soulmate for the first lonely penny. Who knows. But what I do know is that you don't try and pass off a $1 million bill at a grocery store.

I also found another single penny on Friday.

But the monotony of the single penny ended late last night. After enjoying some homemade nutella at a friend's place, I was walking along 6th avenue. I've got great coin vision -- even at night. Ha. Well, I picked up a quarter.

And ladies and gentlemen, readers of the blog, intrepid hikers and idiot savants, I have reached $30.00. Break open the champagne. Jim?

Single

Well I found one penny today at the 4th avenue subway station. One single penny. One. Makes me wonder about my own life sometimes when I just find one coin. Sigh....normally don't bring in certain aspects of my life into this medium but I guess I'm just feeling it tonight. Part of me thinks I'll stop being single when hell freezes over. Who am I kidding? Global warming, hello! And the other part says, don't give up. It's a close fight.

Brauhaus

Some friends and I went camping over the weekend up to New Paltz. It was a blast! Excellent weather (even if it did rain Saturday night). We did the Gertrude Nose hike and went to a few wineries too. I have to recommend the Mountain Brauhaus restaurant. Delicious tasty food. Guess what was under my chair? A dime. Didn't think I was going to collect any money on a camping trip.

I also found 5 pennies today. Good ol' reliable New York.
