Jordan Hayes wrote: >Whoops, sounds like that's cancelled because of the power outage? Yup. I was getting ready to do the radio show when the lights went off in the office. I figured, must be a building problem so I'll head downtown a little early. Then I walked out into the street and found out it a was a bit bigger than 38 Greene St. If it'd happened 15 mins later, I'd have been one of those poor souls trapped in the subway for three hours.
