NO!

Mieszko Kalita, the Chairman for the Public Safety Committee, ended up casting the deciding vote at this evening’s Public Safety Committee review of Studio B’s cabaret license application. Here’s how it broke down:
One in favor of recommending it with provisions.
One against.
One abstention (he arrived late)
And, well, the above photograph (of Studio B’s party, including the “owners” and Ken Fisher taken after the meeting) should give you some indication how Mr. Kalita voted.*
More details to come, so stay tuned!

*A resounding and quite angry NO.

Kitten Cavalcade!
Filed under: Williamsburg
As many of you recall last winter was decidedly not very wintery at all. While to most of us this entailed little-to-no frolicking in the snow or grim meditations upon the effects of global warming, it also had serious ramifications for the stray cat population: a boom in kittens.
Nowhere was this more evident than during my visit to Empty Cages Collective yesterday afternoon. They are up to their eyeballs in adoptable fur kid goodness! If you watch very carefully at the end of the video you will notice the picture jerks a little. That’s because a certain little black and white grand stander grabbed the cord on my camera!
Anyone interested in giving any of these kittens (or their equally lovable adult counterparts) a home should contact Empty Cages Collective at emptycagescollective (at) gmail (dot) com.

THIS WEEKEND: Stop The Violence
Filed under: Williamsburg
Although this has already been mentioned by a number of my colleagues I feel compelled to pass it along here. This Saturday, August 2, starting at 5:00 p.m. there will be a rally to stop the violence that has become all too common on the Southside of late. Even if you don’t live in the area I strongly recommend you turn out to show your support. Let’s work together to make urban gravestones (such as that for L’il Rich) a thing of the past!
STOP THE VIOLENCE

Yesterday as I was walking around in the sweltering heat I saw a number of interesting modes of transportation. In fact, I liked them so much I feel compelled to share them here. Enjoy!
This Crosley hails from Kent Avenue.
Everyone has heard of Checker cabs, but did you know they also made regular old cars? They did and this one hails from Noble Street!
Your eyes are not deceiving you. That is a brand spanking new Rolls Royce parked in front of Greenpoint’s very own C-Town on Manhattan Avenue!
And last —but hardly least— this beauty. I have no idea what make or model this is, but I do not think that’s terribly important.
Unless of course you are talking about silicone implants. “J.T.” sure loves him some boobies!
*priceless*

Want Something To Do Tomorrow Night?

If so, there is the (certainly to be contentious) Public Safety Committee meeting at Community Board 1. You also have Biz Markie playing at Studio B (regardless of whether they secure their cabaret license or not). Neither of these is my cup of tea, you say? Well, why not head down to Greenpoint Avenue and North Henry Street around 10:00 p.m.!
Yes it appears that Greenpoint’s very own Shit Tits might be poised to make an appearance on Rescue Me sometime very, very soon! Too bad they don’t have smell-o-vision.

It would appear Greenpoint’s naughty potty has a friend over in Williamsburg.

Meet Greenpoint’s Finest

This delightful image comes from Bitchy Bluestocking. She writes:
Last summer it was a surprise to discover how popular Greenpoint was on the blogosphere… I’ve become jealous of their “exclusives” — and humor. A few weeks ago I warned Current of the work being done on a house on his block (a blizzard of Styrofoam), and Miss Heather covered it. We walked by the finished product last weekend, joking about its Belvedere XL status, and sure enough Miss Heather soon followed up. Therefore, no longer am I keeping my mouth shut, and I came upon this instance of Greenpoint Magic Sunday…
I for one am very happy you have decided to speak up, Ms. Bluestocking! As your great find attests, there is more than enough Greenpoint Magic to go around! I don’t know about you, dear readers, but I am looking forward to seeing what other goodness this blog whips up for our online enjoyment!
