On my first visit to Coney Island in 1981, I sat down outside the Spook-a-Rama ride and pulled out my sketchbook.
Giant green spiders and one-eyed statues were hanging over the spot where I was sitting, but I liked it because I had a good view of the ticket booth.
The ticket man leaned into his microphone. "Spook-a-Rama! It's the big ride!" he said. "Everybody ride!"
Nobody was buying tickets, so I gave the guy some customers.
