I will set up one

I will set up one of those "I will write your name in some kind of fake ass calligraphy with like rainbows and peacocks and shit" booths in Times Square. I actually think that would be kind of funny-- some guy who sets up shop next to all the other street artists and calligraphers and whatnot, only his renderings are really really terrible. Not even amateurish, just like, terrible. I would write people's names in the same block letter style I used when rendering the AC/DC or Rush logos on my middle school notebooks and folders.

I'm glad Fred's moving to New York. He's a natural.
