After failing to get rush tickets to Avenue Q, they return to McSorley's to be abused by an Irish waiter. They note with amusement that "the cheese plate" is some slices of cheddar, raw onion, and a sleeve of saltines. Then they meet George for $1 stand-up (worth every penny) at the Telephone Bar in the East Village. Then George and Bryan head home while Leslie meets Danny. Here he is in his workplace. He's the volunteer coordinator at a nonprofit bookstore/cafe in Soho that raises money for homeless AIDS victims. - IMG 4972
