I think it may actually have been the same year. My situation was a bit scarier. I was there with a bunch of my friends. Made a deal with a guy for $20 for the switchblade. I thought I was smart as I refused to give him the $$ till he had the knife in hand. He left for a couple of minutes, came back with a hand inside his jacket - said "let's take a walk, there are cops all over the place " I (stupidly) followed him into a quiet parking lot a block or so away. He took a brown paper bag out of his jacket, put it in mine, asked me to "feel" the knife - which I did (I thought) and gave him the $20. He said not to take it out till I was far away from there. - I waited with anxious anticipation till we were on a Port Authority bus on the way back to a friend's house in Jersey - Then I took it out .............a Snickers bar!!!!! Great learning opportunity that could have ended MUCH worse!!
