THIS FRIDAY: Death Warmed Over
This item comes my friend and co-proprietress of The Street Spot: Luna Park. This Friday, June 25, starting at 7:00 p.m. she, Chris RWK, Veng, Cake and Becki Fuller will be celebrating the opening of their group show Death Warmed Over. Here’s the 411 per The Street Spot:
On Friday, June 25th, death will come knocking on the door of Williamsburg’s Fresthetic, with the opening of Cake, Chris RWK, Veng, Luna Park, and Becki Fuller’s show “Death Warmed Over”. Through their paintings and photography, each artist has embarked on an exploration into the many nuances to be found in the meaning of ’death’ and have incorporated their unique interpretations into their art. For some, death is found in the decay and destruction of what was once fresh and new or in the struggles with the demons that plague and sometimes consume us. For others it can be found in cultural practices, such as the festivities of Halloween, the spiritual relationship between the Native American warrior and their prey, or in taking a closer look at life in Mexico, a country who’s intimacy with death permeates their culture…
Among the goodies promised are live painting, a scavenger hunt and free drinks. Check it out!

East Williamsburg Photos Du Jour: Reading Is Fundamental
Filed under: 11211, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Anyone looking for a little summer reading (molecular biology and quantum physics enthusiasts in particular should take note) look no further. Just go to the corner of Skillman Avenue and Graham Avenue and help yourself. Oh yeah, be sure to bring a ladder!

This delightful Mexican wrestling mask (which has been rendered on a table top) can be found (where else?) on Bedford Avenue.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Last Saturdays of Summer
This item comes courtesy of a lady named Jennifer. She writes:
Hi Heather,
We have not had the pleasure of meeting, but I do hope we get the chance soon. I am the consulting coordinator for the newly revitalized Greenpoint Business Association and we have launched our first marketing campaign for Greenpoint local businesses who are members. The about section on the web site / blog can fill you in on the details of what the members receive and how they support the community.
It would be great if you can highlight Last Saturdays of Summer and the shopping campaign. Shoppers pick up a shopping Passport each Last Saturday at designated locations – for June 26th it is t.b.d, Black Rabbit and Matchless and then they shop, drink and or dine at a minimum of 6 of the participating businesses and are eligible for a 4:00 raffle back at any of the 3 bars they picked up their passports at. Prizes are from the GBA members and other supporting outside businesses…
You can get the full lowdown on Last Saturdays of Summer, including a roster of participating businesses, by pointing and clicking your way over to the Greenpoint Business Association’s web site. Check it out!
