New York Shitty Day Ender: Ready For The Weekend
That’s right folks: I am calling it an early day. Who needs a LCD tan when she can get a real one on the roof and get in a little Charles Bukowski in the process? Until tomorrow…

NOTE: I will still be adding footage from last night’s Public Safety Committee meeting.

This afternoon I was pleased as punch to get a missive from the man behind the missive at left! Brandon writes:
Hey Heather,
I have been reading you blog for some time now and today saw that you had a picture of my “Bike Shop Coming Soon, 76 Franklin St.” sign. Thanks for posting that. I will be opening the week of the 16th. We are just waiting for a double door to be installed in the front of the building. We will be specializing in commuting, adventure cycling, touring and will have some other interesting bits and bikes. We will have a full line of parts and bicycles and a complete service area. Every type of cyclist will be welcome. Most importantly, my manager and I want to create a shop where the customer feels comfortable to come in and ask any question. This will be a judgment free shop! Please stop by anytime.
So there have you!

Truth be told it was a rather mellow evening last night at the Warsaw— at least in comparison to the smash-jaw Parks & Waterfront Committee convocation earlier this week. Nonetheless there was much information of interest (including question and answer sessions with representatives from the Fire Department, 94th Precinct and the Department of Consumer Affairs respectively) — and a “moment” (or two) worth savoring. Enjoy!
INTRODUCTION: Chairman Olechowski gives a statement about liquor licenses & the “Moratorium”
Public Safety Chair Mieszko Kalita speaks and the festivities begin!
Deputy Inspector Hurson of the 94th Precinct Answers Questions Tendered by the Board
A representative of the New York City Fire Department Answers Questions Tendered by the Board
Note/observation: Board member Burrows* plays a nice Ed McMahon to Joe Garber’s Johnny Carson. Or something. This is really worth watching folks!
A Representative of the Department of Consumer Affairs Speaks
D.I. Hurson talks about MARCH (and he ain’t talking about the month!)
And of course there is the matter of the Polish Slavic Center Cafeteria’s Liquor License (Spoiler: it was approved)
Lesson learned: Community Board 1 has no judicial power, no police force or F.B.I.
- You will notice a red ribbon being passed along the table. This was my comrade Sherry’s Unofficial Community Board 1 Ladies Auxiliary badge (we were all sporting them— mine was pink!). Methinks it was a big hit!
It was at this point the meeting shifted to liquor license applications. There were many. My compatriots and I each got a drink.
What the 10:00 p.m. rolled around we decided we could do one of two things:
- Get inebriated at a Public Safety Committee meeting (which would add a whole new provocative dimension to the proceedings).
or - Go home.
We chose the latter.

*Who, it should be noted later took yours truly to task for not providing him and his colleagues snacks and refreshments. Here’s how I couched my rebuttal (to my buddy Christine):
I am not Community Board 1’s caterer. I am only its fluffer.
P.S.: Special props/credit goes out to ievil_spock_47i for observing the uncanny resemblance between the photo yours truly took and Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Last Supper. Awesome catch!
