Coming (Back) To Greenpoint: Blue Bloods
That’s right folks: after The Kensington Prospect (from whose blog I grabbed the image at left) broke the good news that Blue Bloods were looking for “working class neighborhood types” for a film shoot coming to pass in their neighborhood August 12 (lucky devils!) I have learned they will be returning to Greenpoint this upcoming Friday, August 19th. Hipsters, Hispanics, elderly women (and men); men with long hair and tattoos; and of course “Polish types” take note. This is your opportunity to be famous! Or at least “working class”.
On Friday August 19th, 2010 a Television Show Production of “Blue Bloods” will be shooting interior/exterior scenes at Leonard Street @ Nassau Avenue.*
APPROXIMATE TIME: 10am – 5pm
New York Shitty analysis: I suppose it is only fitting that an entity endeavoring to find “working class types” would elect to shoot in a working class neighborhood. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk stereotypes for free?
Now if you don’t mind I am off to procure some Zywiec and polish my scimitar…

From The New York Shitty Inbox/North Brooklyn Community Group: Calling All Cat Lovers!
This item comes courtesy of my buddy (and fellow cat lover) Diana Gee. She writes:
I’m trying to help the caretaker for the feral cat colonies on India Street get some assistance. She sent me this via email: “Two feeders needed for cat colony on India Street, between West and Franklin. Due to the sudden death one of the colony care takers, I need to put a new schedule together. Help is urgently needed to feed this colony in the evenings. Feral colony consists of 6 cats, all very good animals. They eat between 7-8 P.M. Feeders would provide food and water. Must be reliable. Please email: vbondart (at) hotmail (dot) com”
Otherwise I have been advised that folks wishing to help our feral furry friends in other ways (For example, by doing TNR: trap, neuter and release or simply keeping an eye on our neighborhood’s feral colonies), should contact Diana Gee via email at: dianagee (at) nyc (dot) rr (dot) com. Thanks!
