Greenpoint Photos du Jour: Gearing Up For St. Paddy’s Day
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
March may not be upon us just yet, but the lovely (and incredibly dedicated) lady at 57 Franklin Street has already seen fit to prepare for St. Paddy’s Day. Following this will undoubtedly come my very favorite holiday display of all: Easter! To get a taste as to what multicolored goodness awaits us in April click here!

Urban Fur: Iris
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Urban Fur
I happened upon this fetching lass (who clearly has a taste for the finer things in life) while passing Bagatelle yesterday afternoon. Intrigued, I went inside so as to inquire of her name. The kindly storekeeper explained that Iris, despite her kittens being adopted, is still awaiting a loving home.
The details I received about Iris are scant. She is two years old and I can personally attest she is petite and quite sweet— if a mite bit shy. Anyone interested in giving this lady a forever home (or simply a head scratch) can/should swing by 714 Manhattan Avenue. You will not be disappointed!

New York Shitty Pay Phone du Jour: Lose Something?
If anyone— perhaps after a rousing bout of Friday night merrymaking— has found himself (or I suppose, herself) divested of a back brace today, worry no more! I have found it. It sits atop a public payphone gracing 1003 Manhattan Avenue. WARNING/CAVEAT: It appears to be a bit, um, “soiled”.

(Or: Build Your Own Blizzard)
Since nature has not seen (yet) to give us one, the folks at Round Robin Collective invite us north Brooklynites to make our own within the cozy confines at Arts@Renaissance! Here’s the 411 per the Facebook page for this event:
Bring on the storm, bring on the snow! Let’s make what may be the only snow storm this 2012 winter. We are building a PAPER SNOWFLAKE BLIZZARD.
Caroline Burghardt, Shannon Finnegan, Lisa Leighton, Deirdre McConnell, Breanne Trammell, & James Weingrod are building a collaborative interactive installation of not-just-paper snowflakes & we want you to participate. Flakes have been forming since the “Hospitality” exhibition started a few weeks ago but the storm will really get going on our installation workshop day, Sunday, February 19.
We invite you to bring flakes from home or come make some with us. The flakes can be any color (preferably white, blue, grey, pastels but Cheeto orange is great too!), any kind of paper (regular, metallic, clear, tissue, etc.), or any material you fancy (paper, wire, fabric, yarn, etc.). We have materials but feel free to bring your own (especially scissors – we have a limited number).
We will have coffee, donuts, and other treats to warm you up and keep you going.
This is an ALL AGES event. Kids welcome (with parental supervision).
If you can’t make it Sunday you can bring or make them any time you visit the show. By the end of the exhibition we will have the wildest, most colorful storm this winter!
To RSVP for this event kindly send an email to Chris at arts(at)stnicksalliance(dot)org. Check it out!
