Live Blogging The Holland Tunnel
Hey everyone. I’m outside the hottest spot in New York City right now! The Holland Tunnel! Oh, man, all the big names are here; police officers, traffic officers, cars, motorcycles, smog. It’s off the hook. I’ll be live blogging the Holland Tunnel all day long, so make sure you check back throughout the day or you might miss out on all the awesome action.
The newest updates will be at the bottom. Hope you can keep up!
9:56am Just got here! Man, the Holland Tunnel is smoking today. Litererally. With all the cars, buses, and bikes passing through, there’s quite a bit of smoke.
10:06am Oooh. A really cool bus just went into the tunnel.
10:30am Lots of cars going in and out.
10:45am I think I went to high school with the guy in that car.
11am I’m going to get a sandwich. This tunnel action is making me hungry.
11:11am I just made a wish!
11:23am Uh-oh! A traffic cop is yelling at someone. I wouldn’t like to be that guy. Or the traffic cop for that matter, as it seems like a pretty thankless job.
11:44am More cars coming through. Man, they never stop.
12pm Someone just threw an empty Starbucks cup at me from their moving vehicle. Not cool.
12:14pm I’m going to start abbreviating Holland Tunnel to HoTu. Let’s see if that catches on.
12:22pm I asked the traffic cop how long he’s been working at the HoTu and he told me to go fuck myself.
12:34pm I made another wish!
12:48pm I’m getting a little dizzy from these fumes.
1pm Lunch Break!
1:22pm Hey, a bird!
1:45pm Some guy with this squirt gun that blows bubbles keeps trying to sell me stuff. “I don’t want your bubble gun!” I yelled at him. Then he threw a hot dog at me. What a country!
2:44pm I just woke up from a nap. I think I passed out from the exhaust fumes. And my hat with a fan on the brim is missing. Why would someone steal that? How am I supposed to keep my head cool now?
3pm Okay, I’ve taken the commenter’s bait. I am now in the tunnel. Ooh boy, it is dark. And loud. Well, I’ll just sit here on the edge of the tunnel along that little walkway. Hmm, this isn’t so bad.
3:03pm Okay, I’m really bored and I have to pee. I’m leaving.
3:04 Well, I made it 3 whole minutes. I’m pretty proud of myself. My pants got all sooty, though. I hate soot.
3:30 Will someone bring me something to drink? Maybe like a Vitamin Water or Gatorade or something. No biggie if you can’t.
4pm While this has nothing to do with the HoTu, I just found out that these animals actually exist. My head is spinning.
