From The New York Shitty Inbox: ADOPTED!
Filed under: 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Remember Thelma and Louise (as seen at left)? Well, they have a home now! Laura (who it should be noted took in a rain-soaked little lady we named McGuinness— after the boulevard she sought refuge from) writes:
Hi Heather!
I thought you’d like to know that Mike & I adopted Thelma & Louise. I saw their photo on your blog. They are adorable. When my mom was in the hospital for almost a year, my sister & I used to travel back and forth together in her car. We had some adventures in her car and started calling ourselves Thelma & Louise. Cute cats, sentimental names… you know the rest.
Here’s a clip of Thelma, Louise and McGuinness together.
Another happy ending— but there many adoptable cuties still awaiting homes in north Brooklyn.
Here are a bevy of calicos and a couple of tabbies courtesy of Lisacat.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Anyone Want A Guitar?
McGol Rick writes:
there’s a free guitar on morgan ave at nassau ave. it appears to have been dressed up and bloodied or something. post it if the heat kept you from your photojournalistic ventures.
Duly posted— and thanks for the contribution! As it would happen I have been spending a great deal of time at home enjoying the comfort of air conditioning and cleaning the kitchen. The latter has been a rather nasty affair— but I suspect it was/is mere child’s play compared to what this objet d’ art has experienced!

New York Shitty Day Ender: Blossom
Shortly after I took took this photo a man offered to pick this flower to me. I refused, but thanked him. I want this bit of ephemeral Garden Spot beauty to remain, however briefly, for all Greenpointers to enjoy.

TOMORROW: The Don Project
This item comes from a chap named Vandal. He writes:
Hi, Heather.
I’m a friend of Jay Lombard and Rob Maher of Unleash/ Dog Habitat. They suggested to get in touch with you to possibly spread the word on our upcoming benefit concert for the film, “The Don Project”.
What is The Don Project, you ask? Well, you can follow their web site— or read their press release!
Emerging filmmakers Matthew Maguire, Dan Bowhers, and Vandal Truong team up for this powerful, intimate piece of cinema. the result is the short film, The Don Project- a little bit punk rock, and a little bit neo-realist. It is a “day in the life”, character study of Don, a dog walker and lingering skate punk scene-ster living in the current day of Brooklyn, New York.
The benefit fundraiser for the film is Saturday, July 17th at Coco 66 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The cover is a mere five dollars. The bands lending their support are Invisible Lines, The Amboys, Black Water, and Cecilia Celeste. Partnering with the non profit group Dog Habitat, all the film’s profits will be donated to help fund dog rescues and adoptions.
Recently wrapped principle photography, the film is now in post production and gearing up for film festivals throughout the country. The Don Project was shot in numerous Brooklyn neighborhoods including Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Bushwick and Bay Ridge.
So there have you. Check it out!
