From The New York Shitty Inbox: Vans Writes…

(and I reply!)
Today, while feeling hardly at 100% (think more like 70%), I not only took a walk (and in so doing probably spread my 11222 pestilence throughout Williamsburg) but am endeavoring to catch up blog-wise. Some of you probably recall I received an item from a concerned neighbor about Van’s Opening party last weekend. I posted it— and am pleased to announce that I heard from a very nice Public Relations representative from Vans named Chris.
While very pleased with Chris’s very pro-active approach to any quality of life issues which may have arisen as a result of Vans’s opening party, I am more concerned about my friends and neighbors who live closer to said business. And exactly how said business will be operated, e.g.; a corporate headquarters which appears to also be outfitted as a performance venue. I replied:
Follows is his reply:
Where we will go from here is yet to be determined— but this is a good start! In the meantime I would like to take a moment to thank Chris for his responsiveness and willingness to meet with members of my community.
To be continued…

Williamsburg Halloween Watch: Presenting The Hipster Pumpkin
When I spied this on North 8 Street this afternoon I couldn’t help but chuckle. If what I have observed on Bedford Avenue is any indication, the glasses are spot-on— but the keffiyeh? That’s so 2009. In any case if the Great Pumpkin (a la Peanuts) is a giver of toys what— may I ask— does the hipster pumpkin dispense? That, dear readers, I will leave to your imagination (and comments)!

Williamsburg Halloween Watch: Three Ghosts
Is it just me or is there less Halloween spirit than usual in north Brooklyn? Some of my favorite haunts (pun completely intended) have yet to put any decorations at all. Perhaps they are simply running behind? I can only hope so. In any case, I was happy to see these three goodfellas back at in on Metropolitan Avenue yesterday!
