NEXT WEEK: Dan Witz Book Signing & Party
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Street Art, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Here’s the deal: as a general rule I do not post events until the week of said event. In this case I am making an exception. Why, you ask? Because I am damned excited, that’s why! Next Wednesday, June 30th, from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m. Spoonbill and Sugartown Books will be hosting a book signing party for our very own Dan Witz (whose handiwork can be seen at left). Refreshments are promised as is the opportunity to purchase a copy of his new book, In Plain View: 30 Years of Art Work Illegal or Otherwise; and have it signed by the man himself.
Check it out!

SATURDAY: JELL-O SPRINGS ETERNAL
Filed under: 11215, 11222, Gowanus, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Park Slope
Another year, another Jell-o competition. What I—- and many other fellow Greenpointers, I suspect— want to know is if our very own Jello Mistress Goddess and keeper of Edie the Hamster, Victoria, will represent the Garden Spot? I suppose we’ll have to wait and find out!

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Rock & Grow High School
(Or, Looking Good In The Neighborhood!)
I’ve noticed a number of changes at Greenpoint’s very own Automotive High School over the years. First there were musicals (Guys & Dolls). Last year they started a garden. That was pretty cool— but it is nothing in comparison to what they have created this year!
Raised beds with every imaginable herb, fruit and vegetable imaginable. Pumpkins, tomatoes, sage; you name it!
What I particularly adored was the furniture these youths created to accompany this much-needed (re)greening of Greenpoint. The above bench reads: AUTOHS.
And a rocker fit for a queen.
Or perhaps a king? In any case I cannot do justice to what this creation. See it for yourself!

LAST GASP: The Codfather
This cleverly named vessel, The Codfather, was caught by Miss Mousey Brown at Meeker Avenue at Frost Street in the heart of Italian Williamsburg. Great find!
