Of Sex & The Southside
Filed under: Williamsburg
As many of you are well aware Valentines Day is headed our direction. Ready or not the day is coming when we have to show our affection to our significant others. In the interest of fostering connubial bliss (or just plain unmitigated lust) in north Brooklyn I share with you today some musings from the Southside. Follow them at your own risk.
This (from South 5th Street) pretty much speaks for itself.
Cuckolded on South 4th.
You know how the saying goes…
…it always pays to read the fine print!
And last— but hardly least— lest anyone from the Department of Transportation field office on South 2nd Street is reading this.
Somebody wants to do a very, VERY naughty thing to your facility.

Borough Of Found Toys Vol. V
It has been a long time since I have hit you up with some found toys. I assure you this was not an oversight on my part: I simply haven’t found any playthings of note. That is until last weekend. Enjoy!

East Williamsburg PSA: Punk Is Not Dead
As you can clearly see from this photograph taken yesterday* punk is alive and well on Bushwick Avenue.

Food For Thought
I came across the following YouTube video courtesy of Bedbuggers.
The next time you think about taking home that old couch or buying a “used” mattress think of this. Lou Sorkin was present at the now infamous HPD bed bug workshop in Greenpoint last May. Not only does this gent have a rather extensive knowledge of how bedbugs breed but he also has his own bed bug farm! That’s dedication folks.

V wrote on January 29, 2009 (in regards to the two previous images, which he sent me):
Here are some photos showing how my wonderful neighbors at 181 greenpoint avenue are helping to beautify Greenpoint (if you’re a rat).
I replied January 30, 2009:
YUCK. Do they just toss out the garbage like that or is someone rummaging through it? In any case it sucks.

P.S.: Nice Fedders boxes! Maybe I should swing by when the garbage is particularly “festive” and run it on Fedders Friday!
V replied January 31, 2009:
They just toss it out like that. They finally got a DSNY ticket taped to their door; the trash and ticket are still there, worse, days later. I swear the pile has doubled.

Yes SIR. That D.O.S. citation has seriously motivated the citizens of this building (and block for that matter) to dispose of their garbage properly!

Have you ever found yourself stopping dead in your tracks and marveling at how truly beautiful New York City can be? I had one such moment on Flushing Avenue today.

THIS WEEK: Sauce On The Side
This Saturday, February 7, 2009 starting at 6:00 p.m. Lumenhouse will he having an opening reception for its latest exhibition, Sauce on The Side. Per New York Shitty reader, featured artist and fellow Greenpointer Tony Luib:
This is going to be an exciting show and a great way to see everything that I have been working on for the past year. I will have up to 8 sculptures & paintings pulled from several different series of work, that I have been working many hours on. I am also fortunate to be showing with two great artists with new work for the show.
I am inclined to agree. After taking a look at Camilla Padgitt-Coles’s* work online and getting a(n albeit) limited preview of Zuan Lee’s work this show looks very promising. Check it out!

Williamspoint Photos Du Jour: Hanging Out
Unlike a number of people I was not bitten by the bug that is “Super Bowl Mania”. Quite frankly, I could care less and am very happy it is over. Super Bowl Sunday (as they call it) was such a beautiful day there was no way I was going park my butt in front of a television. I’d rather be out savoring the fifty degree weather. I was not alone. The following are highlights of my Sunday afternoon sojourn. Enjoy!
GREENPOINT AVENUE
Don’t let the dour expression on this woman’s face fool you: she’s lovin’ it!
NASSAU AVENUE
I have no idea what these gentlemen were discussing but they were clearly having a good time.
MANHATTAN AVENUE
Enid’s rolled out another fantastic bit of snowflake art. Not that their clientele seemed to notice.
BEDFORD AVENUE
It was a great day to get out and take photographs…
…catch up with a few friends…
SOUTH 5th STREET
…or just kick back and chill. Figuratively speaking.
