From The New York Shitty Inbox: The Perfect Nothing Catalog
A fellow named Frank writes:
I wanted to tell you guys about a new store opening in Greenpoint. It’s in an old shack in a garden on India Street.
The Perfect Nothing Catalog: a store & space for art & non-art by local artists and non-artists dealing summer supplies: knives, bathing suits, rocks and herbs, ceramics and surf and skate stuff. Set in an abandoned shack in a garden in Greenpoint, The Nothing will be hosting artists and non-artists in a series of micro-residencies throughout the summer. Offering small work space, garden access, and event opportunity.
216 India Street
Wednesday-Saturday 12-8
You can get more information about this endeavor by checking out their website, Facebook page or of course good ol’ fashioned email: theperfectnothingcatalog (at) gmail (dot) com
New York Shitty Photo du Jour: From The Pulaski Bridge With Love
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
Marriage proposal starting with the word “Yo” + the Pulaski Bridge/McGuinness Boulevard + The Shit Tits = pure, unadulterated Greenpoint glory. It is my sincerest hope that whoever to whom this missive was directed to said yes!
LAST GASP: And Then There Were Two!

Greenpoint Photo du Jour: Urban Artifacts

From Green Street.
Attention Greenpointers!
(OR: “Girls” wants girls— and the rest of you to move your cars)
The New York Observer writes:
From an official Girls casting notice posted to Backstage.com, we now know what “hipster” typecasting looks like:
Seeking—Hipster Types: male and female, 18-30s, all ethnicities, all types, specifically seeking people with tattoos, piercings, colored hair, and unique looks. Young Adult (ages 18-29), Thirties (ages 30-39). Caucasian/White, African-American/Black, Latin/Hispanic/South American, Asian, Native American (!!! — Ed. Note), European, Middle Eastern, Indian/South Asian, Other.
Truth be told, I really hate going after low-hanging fruit like such as this— but “Europeans”?!? I just about shot Zywiec out of my nose reading that corker. Perhaps “Girls” will spot a few when they film in “Little Poland” tomorrow? That’s right, Greenpointers. Tomorrow. May 18th, 2012.
The areas impacted are:
- Manhattan Avenue between Java and Green Street and
- India Street between Manhattan Avenue and Franklin Street.
The tow trucks show up at 2:00 p.m. Why not leave a curricula vitae and a headshot on your dashboard, Garden Spotters?
LAST GASP: Lost & Found
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Deputy Inspector Hurson of the 94th Precinct writes this evening at 10:08 p.m.:
Thanks for posting the picture of the bike however no luck yet finding the owner. FYI my cops found Roger the dog last night he was happily reunited with his owner today.
Spread the word!

New York Shitty Analysis
Glass half-empty: Someone operating a motor vehicle (possibly under the influence) has rendered this trash receptacle two dimensional.
Glass half-full: Considerate citizens, undeterred, are still pressing it into service
I’m going with the latter.
