THIS WEEKEND: Spring Fever
This item comes courtesy of the folks at Gallery 106 who write in their press release:
Spring is the season of rejuvenation. Urges repressed through the long winter months roar to the surface, adding vigor and passion to otherwise ordinary lives. Spring sees bulky winter coats replaced with skirts and sleeveless shirts, handshakes replaced with kisses, and S.A.D. replaced by L’amour Fou. This show is a celebration of new found optimism, invigoration, and desire.
Spring Fever
April 11, 2010 – May 9, 2010
Opening Reception: Sunday, April 11 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.

A New York Shitty PSA: My Photography Show At Creek & Cave
A lot of people have been asking me about when this was scheduled to open. Until yesterday I didn’t have an answer— but now I do! The opening reception for my show will come to pass May 2 (a Sunday) from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. What you can expect: eight or nine images— three of which will be quite large in format (which ought to be pretty neat) and, as of the writing of this post, the content seems to be decidedly non-Greenpoint/Williamsburg. This may very well change— but who knows? I certainly don’t. When it comes to selecting/assembling images I am very unpredictable!
In any case I have it on good intelligence that the peeps at Creek & Cave traditionally serve food at these events. Yummy. Their margaritas are nothing to sniff at either!

Opening Date: May 2, 2010 3:30 – 5:30 p.m.

Reader Contribution Du Jour: Camraderie
Some of the newer readers of this site might not be aware that yours truly loves rats. The inflatable, scab-busting kind that is. For this reason I cannot resist sharing the following fella from the Omni Hotel in midtown. As you will see he has a friend to keep him company! Donna writes:
Hey There,
Since the union busting rat is part of your wedding photo album (I love that story!) – I thought you might appreciate these photos I took today of the rat and his friend the roach arm in “leg”?? For a month the union workers have been protesting the non union workers hired by the Omni to no avail. They’ve added drums, whistles and military style chants…nothing! Now, the piece de resistance, The Roach!!!
Those of you craving more rodentia goodness can and should click here. In so doing you will be directed to The Rat Patrol: a photo pool dedicated to documenting our inflatable friends!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Dispatch From The Viridian
Filed under: 11222, Dog Shit Signage, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Yesterday, dear readers, a very special item arrived in yours trulys inbox: an email from a person who lives in none other than the Viridian! I always thought the outside was pretty damned bad. If the following is any indication, the interior isn’t any better.

This blog post writes itself… This is the sign on the ‘tranquility pool’ thing that became a garden. And this sign showed up a few days after they finished with the garden.
Maybe it should’ve started with ‘Listen up you nasty ingrates.’
