(Or would that be a Hannukah quandary?) My friend Amy from Assemblyman’s Joe Lentol’s office writes:
Hey Heather, We are trying to come up with a creative idea for holiday cards for Assemblyman Lentol… One idea we have is putting a Christmas outfit- ok really just a hat- on the office cat, Brooke (whom we adopted from BARC) and take a picture and make that our office holiday card. But another is buy holiday cards from a local— READ: Greenpoint, Williamsburg or Fort Greene artist. However, try as we might we cant find an artist who makes holiday cards. Any suggestions?
I have to be honest: I drew a blank. I have to confess the holiday season is most decidedly not my thing. However, I know damned well somewhere in points ‘Burg, Green and Greene there is an immensely talented individual (we have many) who has created a card that fits the bill! You can tender your product/portfolio/suggestions via email to:
AssemblymanJoe (at) gmail (dot) com
NOTE: this is a temporary email address erected for just this purpose. If you have constituency issues to take up with Joe you can and should do so here.
Thanks— and good luck!

Spotted On Greenpoint Avenue: In Rivers
Today as I was walking past the long-vacant store front at 165 Greenpoint Avenue I was surprised— pleasantly, I will add— to see a gallery is moving in.
Not only is there work in the window, but they are accepting submissions for both a small works group show and a Holiday Market!
Note: the deadline for submissions to the craft fair is November 22nd and the group show is November 24th! You can learn more about In Rivers (and download their submission application) by clicking here.

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: Wolf Tits?
My buddy Bitchcakes writes:
…Have you seen the amazingly painted Metro newspaper box on the corner of Greenpoint Ave & Manhattan Ave? It’s just outside the deli on the northwest corner. It says “wolf tits” and is pretty spectacular. I hope you have the opportunity to see it and/or mention it on newyorkshitty.
Needless to say I had to see this for myself.
It was not the least bit difficult to find.
WOLF TITS!
