WTFMTA?

After seeing signs saying there would be no N running late night tonight, I walked from a post-show Christmas gathering in Hell's Kitchen to Times Square to catch the 7 to QB Plaza. The 7 was stopped at the station for 15 minutes, then again in the tunnel for a few minutes. Then after waiting a good 15 minutes at least at QBP, the N showed up coming from Manhattan. Apparently it WASN'T suspended. All told, it took 2 hours to get from W 50th to Steinway. Thanks MTA.

Luckily the soundtrack was wonderful, selections:
Walking through Hell's Kitchen: "Static-X - "December"
Walking through the Theatre District: Mike Doughty - "I Can Hear the Bells"
Walking through Times Square: Relient K - "Silver Bells"
Waiting on the 7: Tchaikovsky - "Waltz of the Sugar Plum Fairy"
Riding the 7: John Prine - "Christmas in Prison"
Waiting at QB Plaza: Flyleaf - "Do You Hear What I Hear?"
Riding the N: Ramones - "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight)"
Walking down Astoria Blvd: Run DMC - "Christmas in Hollis"
