A New York Shitty Shout Out: Happy Birthday Smitty!
AKA: Chris Smith, AKA the creator of the above masterpiece which (sans customizations made by yours truly) is (still) available for purchase at the Mark Bar or online by clicking here). You have my eternal gratitude for combining two things of which I am quite fond: the Shit Tits and Bad Brains. This one’s for you, Smitty!

Spotted On On The Southside: Esteban Duran
When I saw the above juxtaposition I could not help but giggle. If there’s one thing politicians have to do a lot of it is smiling. So I shot a photo and kept on walking. Not even ten minutes later, lo and behold, I bumped into the man himself on South 3rd and Keap Street!
As you can see Mr. Duran has a genuine affection for sporting a smile! After talking shop and establishing:
- that my husband knows who to vote for— or more accurately: who NOT to vote for— under threat of being locked out of Chez Shitty* and
- that he was familiar with New York Shitty!
I wished him luck and continued on my peregrinations around his ‘nabe. Nice meeting you Mr. Duran— and good luck! As for the rest of you, dear readers: the polls close at 9:00 p.m.— SO GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!

P.S.: Special thanks go out to this store’s proprietor, Chris, for asking me if I am over 21.

When Dania asked me why I wanted to take her picture, I said “I am hoping to do a photo series on Islam in New York. To try….” Here she jumped in and with a big smile said “To try and show we are not all terrorist?” Yes, kind of like that!
