Eshete: Cobble Hill Brooklyn

This chap is a big favorite of yours truly (real men love cats) and Chris Arnade (who took the above photograph). He writes:

This is the sixth picture I have posted of Eshete, the “catman” of Columbia St. The rest are here.

I have known him now for over three years, walking by almost daily, and look forward to our chats. Despite having some serious issues, he has always been super sweet and nice to me. He is obsessed with his cats, riding his bike from upper Manhattan every day to spend afternoons with them.

I don’t know his full history, I am polite enough not to pry. I do know that he’s had a rough life. He was the only member of his family to survive the Ethiopian civil war and spent many years after as a refugee.

A geography nut, every one of his cats is named after a place: Congo, Damascus, Venice, Rico (Puerto that is), etc.

This handsome fellow (?) hails from DUMBO and was captured by Chris Arnade who writes:

The eyes drew me in, the Gatorade sold me.

Indeed!

This item comes courtesy of my buddy Judy over at Bad Advice. She writes:

Hey Heather,
If you could publicize this, I’d be so grateful… I’m also copying and pasting the press release letter.

No problem. Here’s the 411 per the press release!

Safe Horizon Brooklyn Rape and Sexual Assault Program is proud to present Brooklyn’s second annual SAYSO! (Sexual Assault Yearly Speak Out!). SAYSO! is dedicated to promoting healing and raising awareness about sexual assault and New York City’s specialized rape crisis services.  SAYSO! is planned for April 13th 2011 from 3:00 to 7:30 pm and will be held in Cadman Plaza, outside of Brooklyn Borough Hall.

Safe Horizon is the nation’s leading victim assistance organization.  The Brooklyn Rape and Sexual Assault Program provides time-limited counseling and advocacy to survivors of sexual assault, along with their families and friends.  The program also raises awareness of sexual violence through presentations and outreach.

This year, we are organizing Brooklyn’s second annual SAYSO! event in conjunction with the Kings County District Attorney’s Office.  From 6:00 to 7:00 pm on the day of the event, they will be presenting VOICE OUT (Victims On the Impact of Crime Event), a program to honor victims of all crimes.

We are reaching out to you due to your insight and connections to the rape and sexual assault community.  We invite you to become involved in the following ways:

  • Represent your organization at a table
  • Speak – share about how sexual violence has affected you and/or your community
  • Perform – dance, read a poem, play music, sing, etc.
  • Recruit your clients, friends, family or peers to speak or perform
  • Facilitate a healing activity of your choice
  • Volunteer to help set up and clean up for the event.
  • Other- we welcome any suggestions you have about how your organization might contribute!

We welcome your suggestions and contributions for this exciting event!

Any and all wishing to participate in this event or simply want more information should point and click their way over to Say So Brooklyn’s web site. Thanks for passing this along, Judy!
