Dear Rachel McAdams: Letter Fifty Three

Friday May 1, 2009

Dear Rachel,

Have you ever sold T-shirts outside of the Garden after a Bruins playoff win? If not, you haven't lived. The rush of people out the door is like an abrupt closing of the largest bar in the history of Boston. Everyone is happy and drunk and in a fighting mood. To make things even better, there are a bunch of other T-shirt vendors in the area jockeying for position, and the cops come out and tell everyone to take their stuff off of the property. What follows is a mad rush across the street (Ray Borque Way) to grab the best spot on the sidewalk, all the while peddling shirts to loud, obnoxious Bruins fans that just can't wait to give me money for T-shirts that say things like LUCIC CREW and ASSKICKER.

God bless America.

Sincerely,

Nick Punto
