Intro

I'm Brandon Sneed. I wrote the book The Edge of Legend, I'm a journalist for GQ, ESPN The Magazine, and ESPN.com, and I edit HeyGoodCall.com

I live for great stories—finding them, telling them, living them. This is a running log of all that. It's a great life. (Read this, my short take on why stories are all that matter.)

Highlights from the NYC trip: "Pure Organic Energy"

I don't know much about Mike Katz. Or whatever his name was. But here's what I do know. Mike was one of the guys working for the Staten Island Yankees entertainment crew. And Mike went hard, whatever he was doing. Throwing t-shirts. Leading kids through games. And, as you'll see in this video, dancing. My word, the man danced. Not well, mind you. But he danced hard. So hard he looked like he had 18 Red Bulls in the last hour. 

Yeah, we laughed. Sort of with him. Sort of at him. Not going to lie, it was tough to tell how seriously he took himself. But whatever the case, he was awesome, and hilarious, and, well, that's why Logan was shooting videos of him. Dude's one of my new heroes. 

As you'll see at the end of this video, Mike relied on something more than Red Bull.
