	9:27pm JakeGould: !!! Hey Evan, did you hear about the Danceteria time capsule that a construction crew on 21st Street accidentally unearthed today? It was a surplus bomb they bought from an army surplus store, Danceteria folks would put notes and stuff it and it eventually got buried in the alley next to the building. Big news today because it’s a hollowed out bomb that was discovered. www.nydailynews.com...
	♥ 9:28pm Switchblade Batman: Hey ya all.

	♥ 9:44pm efd: @Jake I saw a headline about that but didn't know the full story. So did they end up blowing it up? @JBJ 'sup
	9:49pm JakeGould: @efd: Not that I know of. All the pictures show them opening it up to examine it. The Daily News states, “Cops who found the prop Wednesday quickly gave the all-clear after a bomb squad crew determined there was no threat.” So hey!

Reminds me of the U2 talk recently. Hmm, how about R.E.M.? How about Billy Joel, who's at mad sq garden tonight. (Excuse me for muckraking)
