I'm joining a choir in Philly, first rehearsal is tonight. Dello Joio, Susa, Poulenc and Brahms are first up in my post-college choral life

My favorite place to pee in my favorite city? I'm close to saying NYC's subway...but that doesn't hold a candle to Paris' Pigale district. Nothing quite like urinating while hookers leering in French.
We miss you J-mo - if ever I'm in your neck of the woods prepare to be rocked.
M-Jo, I freaking wish you would get out here to the woods and rock us all!
I peed in NYC's Chinatown once. We went to this place called Chinky Drinky (technically it's called Silk Road Palace, but why call something by it's proper name when there's such a wonderfully offensive alternative) that has complimentary box wine! You walk in, they hand you a glass Franzia's finest Chablis, and they keep bringing you carafe after carafe throughout dinner until you pay the bill and leave.
I was drunk, popped a squat down some alley in Chinatown, and at some point also lost my cell phone.
Best dollar store item: A unisex restroom sign with adheisive on the back so to be stuck on any door you wish.
Best place to pee: The 5-spot cafe has a urinal with a magic window that lets you see the space needle while you pee. They used a bunch of mirrors to make the view happen, kinda like a periscope.
I do like the 5-Spot, and you can't top $1 PBR...but I’ve always been partial to the Broadway Grill - if only because they fill their giant urinal trough with ice. And everyone knows peeing all over fresh ice is way better than some tired view.
Favorite $1 store item: none. Dollar stores hold for me only the sad memory of when Jacob took off the coolest sunglasses ever to try on some $1 pair that were not cool, and then forgot the cool ones, never to be seen or replaced.
Favorite Pee: Macy's in downtown San Francisco. On the top floor, right by customer service, there's a bathroom. When you first go in, it looks really sketchy and nothing special, but then there's a sort of doorway right before the stalls, and if you go through there, you end up in this crazy palatial restroom, the likes of which I've never seen. Seriously, it's like the whole room was carved from one giant piece of marble. Each "stall" is an honest-to-god closet, fully sealed and secluded, also entirely marble. It's so ridiculously posh that you almost expect Rudy to await your foundation.
Best $1 store item: The amazing deal I found where I could get computer mice for a dollar! Thinking "wow!" I bought 15 of them, only to discover a tiny warning label: "Handling the cord of this product will expose you to lead, which may cause reproductive defects." WTF? And sadly, Dollar Tree doesn't do refunds...
