oh man, i'm getting old

tonight, i was walking in front of the new ifc cinema that took over the old waverly (welcome!) where there are protesters giving out leaflets about how the new theatre is paying projectors less than industry standard and to not go there, etc. well, the gent in front called to me, 'hey bro- check this out.' and while i could only imagine that was his standard tag-line for all passers-by, i couldn't help my knee-jerk reaction of, 'it's SIR, not bro or dude' but thankfully kept this to myself. instead, i took the flier (he was really cute and besides, my parents were union, i feel for these guys and gals) and realized that corp america is aging my generation x ass much too fast...
