Winner – Mother Nature- I think not. Wild bitch nature, maybe. If you were in the Northeast and got smacked in the face by Hurricane Sandy, you were taught a quick lesson in just how puny we all our against the forces of nature. With a week of warning, we played defense all the way and all we could really do is run and hide till the little sucker blew over. Still, at least we got a taste of what one potential Apocalypse will be like.Loser – Every Gig In NYC for days – Yep, everything got its damn ass postponed or cancelled. Hysterically enough, the Smashing Pumpkins at Barclay Center was cancelled on Halloween. The big selling point of Barclay Center is that it is such a major hub for Subway trains, and that's great, unless all the trains are shutdown.
