Hi Miss Heather
Long time reader and such and such.
Our Greenpoint based comedy group SERIOUS LUNCH just released a new video featuring Ellie Kemper from The Office and Hope Davis. The best part is that it was shot right here in the neighborhood at Anella, Coco66, and East River Tattoo. Check it out.
I know you don’t really post sketch comedy stuff, but it prominently features the neighborhood. Hope you enjoy!
I can’t honestly say I “get” this. But then again yours truly’s wedding entailed a surreptitious trip to Brooklyn Municipal Hall (via the G train, no less) on Halloween. Shortly there after we had our photo taken in front of an inflatable scab-busting rat. The men protesting found this tremendously entertaining. We emailed this photo along with a scan of our marriage certificate to our respective families to announce the good news.
One of my more religious relations actually got upset I wasn’t married in a church. I imagine this person wanted me to wear a white dress as well. No dice. This here bride wore black.

LAST GASP: Williamsburg Greenpoint News + Arts
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Yours truly is in the latest issue of the Williamsburg Greenpoint News + Arts! A few thoughts:
1. While my portrait is absolutely stunning (thanks William Hereford!), the Mister and I cannot help but chuckle over the fact I am posed with a Mac laptop. This is because I cannot operate a Mac to save my life.
2. I am delighted my thoughts about entering politics were not excised by the WGNA’s Editorial Department— especially in light of the fact my interview follows that of Steve Levin, our new City Councilman.

New York Shitty Day Ender: President’s Day Edition
Filed under: Area 51
I cannot think of a better way to end this, President’s Day 2010, than with this tribute to all things American— and Richard Milhous Nixon. After considerable thought I have decided to occasionally feature photographs I have found/collected over the years on this site as they are relevant and/or of seasonal interest. I can hardly wait for St. Paddy’s Day. You’re in for a real treat!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Very Good Idea

This item comes courtesy of Jeff Orlick of Roommates Wanted NYC. He writes:
I am putting together new program called Roommates Wanted on Sunday, Feb 21st. This will give people a chance to meet potential roommates in person, in a non-threatening, group environment. It’s kinda like a single’s event but for roommates. Frankly, I’m sick of people meeting each other on craigslist, going to others’ apts and being expected that the size of the kitchen is the only variable in whether they will accept the apt or not. The roommate is an important decision and we should have plenty of choices.
We are having the first event at duckduck, 161 Montrose Ave, Bushwick/Wburg, Brooklyn. Admission is free, just pay for the drinks as usual (happy hour pricing). I will have a simple ice breaker and surprise ways to identify where you want to live and what you are looking for in an apt.
Speaking as someone who has had her share of colorful apartment share experiences, I for one think this is an excellent idea. So much so that I wrote Jeff telling him so. I also recommended hosting a series of floating events around north Brooklyn. He assured me this was, in fact, his plan and this event is a trial run.

If you’re in search of a roommate in the greater Williamswick/Bushburg area, this event very well be worth your time. Check it out!
