I’m a big fan of your blog, a while back you posted a picture of an AK-47 shaped vodka bottle (sure brings a new meaning to shooting vodka huh!?). Do you happen to remember where that was?  I’ve gotta see this for myself. Anyhow keep up the great work on the blog, its great to see the pics from our backyard!

This item can (still) be found in the window of T & N Wine and Liquor along with a box advertising “Armenian Adam”.

Ask about him.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Vans Writes…

(and I reply!)

Today, while feeling hardly at 100% (think more like 70%), I not only took a walk (and in so doing probably spread my 11222 pestilence throughout Williamsburg) but am endeavoring to catch up blog-wise. Some of you probably recall I received an item from a concerned neighbor about Van’s Opening party last weekend. I posted it— and am pleased to announce that I heard from a very nice Public Relations representative from Vans named Chris.

While very pleased with Chris’s very pro-active approach to any quality of life issues which may have arisen as a result of Vans’s opening party, I am more concerned about my friends and neighbors who live closer to said business. And exactly how said business will be operated, e.g.; a corporate headquarters which appears to also be outfitted as a performance venue. I replied:

Follows is his reply:

Where we will go from here is yet to be determined— but this is a good start! In the meantime I would like to take a moment to thank Chris for his responsiveness and willingness to meet with members of my community.

To be continued…
