Circa 2005, amidst the NYC night lights of NYC, I was standing outside what appeared be a church but in reality was a popular nightclub of the time, The Limelight. A handsome young gentleman approached me in hopes to find one of life's most puzzling questions, "What are the mechanisms of letting go?"
