From Bushwick With Love
Filed under: 11206, Bushwick, Bushwick Brooklyn, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn
As it would happen, a good friend of mine resides in Bushwick. On occasion she sees fit to send me pictures from her wanderings around the neighborhood. Today was one of those days. She writes:
I was going to save this and give it to you as an anniversary present, but it’s just too good to sit on till October. This is what I saw while walking my dog this morning. I made sure to swing back by with my camera on the way to the train to work. I did not arrange this. I merely happened by and saw its intrinsic sublimity.
This looks like one hell of a party (note the baggie of cocaine to the rat’s right). They sure seem to like Heineken down there. I sense a phat product placement deal will be headed Bushwick’s direction soon. With publicity like this, who needs Madison Avenue?

P.S.: Thanks a lot for the gift, Chintamani! This is like Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and Ramadan all put together.

That is insane. Could see why your friend couldn’t keep that one under wraps..wow.
My friend is a very gifted woman with an eye for things “New York Shitty”. I want her to be a guest contributor (for East Williamsburg/Bushwick), but we’ll see.
I was more spooked by our Heineken connection: her bottle cap on a dead rat’s head and my pig head with an empty 24 oz. bottle (of the stuff). Dead animals (or parts thereof) and Heineken: who knew? 😉
You were more spooked by the Heineken connection? You are one tough cookie!
I think I was spooked by the rat, the cocaine, the fact that the rat is on a sprinkler thing, the bottle of cognac and YES the cap is disturbing! It is quite a still life composition.
priceless, and timeless.
someone should make this into a postcard which can then be sold at one of the forty two ‘khim’s millenium markets’ slowly taking over brooklyn. greetings from bushwick! wish you were here!
quarter life comeback: as it would happen, I was in Bushwick today. I didn’t find any partying rats, tho.
Tell me what you're thinking...
