THIS WEEKEND: Paping Pinewood Derby

This item comes courtesy of a lass named Rachel. She writes:

Dear Miss Heather,

If you get a chance and are so inclined we would like to invite you and the mister to the first ever Paping Pinewood Derby at No Globe Exhibition Space on May 1st.  Paping is a comic zine collective that previously brought the Soapbox Derby to Brooklyn Heights.  Due to an exceptionally popular 3rd year field that gathered maybe a little too much attention, as in the po-po, it was necessary to conceive of a new format.

After several years absence a new Paping race is coming to our humble Greenpoint space. Artists from far and near will be contributing cars to race for glory on a Sunday afternoon, 3pm till racing is finished… …you can check out past glories here.

Check it out!

Urban Fur: Booey Rides The B62

Booey6

I wasn’t able to learn much from the “mom” of this little guy/gal. She had a speech impediment but a beautiful smile and heart. I was able to deduce this little one’s name was Booey. This little commuter/strap hanger is very loved— and cared for! His/her mom had a bag of toys and a thermos of KMR (kitten formula) in tow. Godspeed, Booey! You’re the cutest thing yours truly has ever beheld on the B62. Ever.
