New York Times review of ATP NY 2009:
There are no restricted passages: the talent uses the same routes that you do. (There’s the comedian David Cross by the Ping-Pong table. There’s Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips by the video-game arcade.) The assumption is that nobody will waste anyone else’s time because nobody’s here who doesn’t really want to be here. The mildew reinforces that assumption.
