On that topic. .after a night of destroyal in the Flats, TJ attempted to negotiate the price of a gyro w/one of the late-night vendors. The vendor was adamant that it was a set price of $4, to which TJ replied, "How about $2?"--while handing him a $5 bill. Classic. Also, while in NYC Wes would haggle w/people selling knockoff whatevers. He would get the price so low and then back out w/a "ehh nevermind" and walk away. It was as though he was toying w/these people. I thought for sure we'd be beaten to a pulp in some back alley.
