FRIDAY: Wounded Warrior Project Benefit
This item comes courtesy of a chap named Jordan, an Iraqi War veteran and bartender at t.b.d. He writes:
My brother and I are Greenpoint guys, and also Iraqi veterans. We’re holding a fundraiser On Dec 10 at a local bar (t.b.d. Brooklyn @ 224 Franklin Street; tbdbrooklyn.com) to support a non-profit that means a lot to us: The Wounded Warrior Project. It’s a group that was very good to me when I was recovering from a head wound that I received in battle.
I’m writing to see if you would be willing to post some information about the event on your website. It really is a great cause and should be a lot of fun.
The price of admission for this event is a mere $2.00. In addition to music and games raffle prizes, including (but not limited to) X Box 360 Black Ops with Medal of Honor, The Pacific DVD Box Set, PlayStation 3 Army Controller and gift certificates from local businesses. Check it out!

Spotted On Green Street: Skateboards & Seasoning
Some of you may recall last month the tailor shop located at 173 Green Street relocated across Manhattan Avenue and into a questionably legal situation. Well, Sasteria San Miguel’s space didn’t remain vacant for long.
I present to you, TINC, (as is in: There Is No Cool) a “street wear/vintage variety/skateboard shop. While hardly the skateboarding type (I have grown to accept that I should leave anything with wheels to the experts), I took a peek inside. Here’s what I found!
Hats and Brooklynalia.
Skateboards.
Shirts and shoes.
Another skateboard and this really nifty purse. But the item of foremost interest to yours truly was this:
Hot sauce— made by the store owner’s mom*, no less! Naturally I purchased a bottle and am quite eager to try it. Perhaps a review of this product will be forthcoming in the future? Only time will tell. In the meantime you can check out TINC in cyberspace by clicking here.

*Who is a very nice lady. I remember her as being one of the nicer customers the junk shop has had of late. What’s more, I think it is cute that she helped her son, Seth, hang up the sign which graces this storefront!
