East Williamsburg Photos Du Jour: Conselyea Street
After I took the above photograph (at 2:55 p.m., five minutes before game time) the man responsible for this display said:
Hurry up, I need to take this down! I do not want to jinx anything.
So hurry I did.
One cannot help but admire this level of dedication.
I hope this post doesn’t jinx the game either. Not because I am a big football fan (frankly I could care less): rather my gut instinct tells me I do not want this chap angry at me if they lose!

UPDATE, 6:20 p.m.: Shortly after this post was published the game reversed in favor of the Colts. The Jets lost. 30 to 17. Whoops.
TODAY: Cat & Kitten Adoption Event at Muddy Paws
Today from 2:00 – 6:00 p.m. some of my favorite north Brooklyn cat ladies will be having an adoption event at Williamspoint’s very own Muddy Paws. I have it on very good intelligence the lass you see to the left, Cristal, and her fellow bottle babies Dom and Taittinger will be among the cats and kittens wishing to make the acquaintance of someone (perhaps you?) who will give them a loving, lasting home. Lest you are wondering why this trio is named after champagne, I will tell you: they were rescued from a kill shelter on New Year’s Eve. Why not swing by and say “Hi”? Who knows, you might make a new feline friend— or two?

In closing, I will leave you with this footage of Cristal, Dom and Taittinger with their foster mom: a pup named “Spoto”. Be sure to listen for Dom’s ferocious growl at the very end. Too cute!

Williamsburg Street Art Du Jour: North 8 Street
Okay, I’ll admit it: I love these damned hearts (which are the handiwork of an artist named Chris Uphues). There, I said it.

Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Maher
When I found this quartet of Bill Mahers on Kent Avenue recently I did not ask myself why someone would see fit to do this. Rather, I thought: “Why not?”

New York Shitty Day Starter: Mutual Discrepancy
This work of art by Gaia and Noh J. Coley hails from North 10 Street at Wythe Avenue. The above photograph does not do it justice. See it in person. It’s absolutely stunning.

Williamsburg Street Art Selections: Mail Theft Is A Punishable Crime
The latter most image (which along with its two predecessors is by an artist called Kid Acne) reminds me of former mail delivery woman I once had. She was a tiny woman of perhaps 45 years of age. She reminded me of younger version of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. AN INCREDIBLY ANGRY younger version of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. One time she chewed out a friend of mine for having Power Puff Girl stickers on her mailbox. She didn’t: the mailbox in question belonged to a neighbor. But my friend couldn’t muster the nerve to belabor this point. She simply accepted her punishment.
God, I miss that woman.

P.S.: Special props go out to Luna Park for bringing this phenomenon to my attention. Great catch!
A Moment of Williamsburg Zen: Bayard Street
Why can’t I shake the feeling this was not a product of happenstance?

If Miss Watts is reading this, I think someone would like to have a word with you.
