What to do with all those MetroCards littering subway stations and causing fires and floods (and soon, no doubt, plagues) along with copies of amNewYork? Why, do the MTA a favor: pick them up, take them home and turn them into a Halloween costume with a lovely subway motif. The A train has already been claimed, but you can still be the first cool kid on your block to have a Second Avenue "T" line costume. From Matt Windman's story: "It's funny, makes people smile and gets them to think about an everyday thing like a Metrocard as art in a whole new way," said Andy Padre, who used about 1,000 discarded cards which he and friends collected from the subway.
