Williamsburg Video Du Jour: Tuba Skinny
Filed under: Williamsburg
This chanteuse was a most welcome and enjoyable interlude during my walk down Bedford Avenue this sunny afternoon. Judging from the number of people hovering around I’d say I was not the only one who felt this way. The band’s name is Tuba Skinny and if their musical stylings tickle your fancy you can purchase a compact disc of their songs (15 of ‘em for a sweet $10.00!) by contacting them via email at:

Borough Of Found Toys: Special Puerto Rico Day Edition
It’s been a while since I have hit you with some found toy goodness. This is not due to lack of vigilance on my part; I have found an errant play thing here or there— just not enough to merit a post. That is, until today. I have a bevy of beauties to share with you from points Green and beyond. Enjoy!

Caught in concertina wire with neither Piglet nor Tigger or even Eyeore to save him! It just goes to show that sometimes it’s better for a bear to leave that hunny pot be…

Happy Puerto Rico Day From New York Shitty!
I want to take a moment to wish my Boriquen friends a happy and healthy Puerto Rico Day. Now go out and enjoy the sunshine… while it lasts.

Greenpoint Gentrification Watch: McCarren Park
This item (which hails from Lorimer Street and Driggs Avenue) goes off the fucking charts. I honestly don’t where to start. Is it
- the professional quality of this flier?
- the kid’s name?
- the fact someone elected to use his (or her) son’s scooter to advertise their political beliefs?
Now that I have given the matter some thought methinks it is probably the latter most. I don’t think little Devlin lost this scooter. He probably had it taken from him after a thorough pommeling from the angry son (or daughter) of this person.
Miss Heather
P.S.: I for one who’d like to see a flier for a stolen red scooter with a John McCain sticker on it. Or perhaps a green scooter with a Ralph Nader sticker? I do not know which one would be funnier.

*This comes from Francisco de Goya’s “Los Caprichos” and is the only explanation I can muster as to why someone who so vehemently defends the life of the unborn—in the name of god— would elect take to take the life of another, albeit already born. In a church, no less. Disgusting.
