AVENUE X derives its title from my neighborhood subway line, and its labeled final destination: "Ave X". As I reside on Avenue C (and the highest letter in Manhattan itself is D), this always seemed a fantastic and otherworldly location to me. Turns out it' s in a pretty trippy place anyway: Brooklyn' s Coney Island - home of an ancient and creaking wooden roller coaster (frightening only because of the fear of the entire structure collapsing at any moment), the country' s last existing "side show", and of course (my favorite), the Nathan' s Famous annual hot-dog eating contest. The piece is a journey there of sorts
