Tom Costello, Tommy’s Basement Theatre

There is no doubt that Tommy’s Basement Theatre will be one of the more controversial articles featured on 2L. Tommy has very limited credentials and has only seen a handful of movies in his life, but he holds very strong opinions about things. Also, look forward to this article leaking over into general social commentary.

Bryan also loves to relax and partake in leisure. He also loves the New York Knicks. He lives in Hawaii.

Patrick Mescall, Restaurant Ettiquette

Dining out can be confusing. That’s why we have etiquette expert and dining connoisseur, Patrick Mescall. This old pro is known for tipping over 100% at bars and, later, being forcefully removed from that bar.

Patrick tends bar at The Salt Creek Grille in El Segundo, CA. He wears a size 16 shoe.

Ian Lanz, Golf and Leather Goods

When 2L went looking for a golf writer, there was no question who to head to – dilettante golfer, Ian Lanz. What we didn’t know was that this same man would also have such an appreciation for fine leather goods!

“I like golf, and I respect leather.” – Ian Lanz

Ian “E Woods” Lanz grew up in Bay Park, NY, which features a 9-hole golf course adjacent to a sewage processing plant. Ian is not a golf pro. He is an accountant. However, he does not know how to do his own taxes. He lives with his parents.

Nicholas Cangemi, Exploration & Gadget Tester

Nicholas has his finger in a lot of pots. But, don’t worry. He’s cooking at above 165 degrees, so the germs will burn off.

Have you ever heard it said that, “Bear Grylls is the Nicholas Cangemi of the Discovery Channel?” No? Well, our resident outdoorsman will hold our hand as we traverse the vast wilderness that is Long Island, together. No one does Brawny-chic like Nicholas. Oh, Columbia, you make a bug-repellent shirt designed for fly-fisherman? WATCH NICK WEAR IT OUT TO THE LONG BEACH BARS!

Dichotomously, Nick will also serve as 2L’s gadget tester. So, gizmos beware! He will do things like review whatever cell phone he has once every 2 years.
