Hello GFM fans!

After a month hiatus we are happy to return with full force, preparing for the next food market to be held February 13th!

It will be a Valentines Day Extravaganza of sorts, a celebration of all that is nauseating and lovey dovey, highlighting the holiday with a cascade of heart pins, heart on strings, red-tinted EVERYTHING and a kissing photo booth!

The day will feature a cascade of lovely treats: from aphrodisiac inspired recipes to heart shaped cookies, a photo kissing booth courtesy fellow Greenpointers Color Me Katie and Hyla Skopitz, a secret foodmirer bulletin board to share your food crushes and indulgences, and a heart-hunt: find the heart, win a GFM goodie bag. We are also very pleased to present music  by DJ Jimmy T and a performance by Rifle Recoil @ 3pm. We are also grateful to add to a growing list of food-related artworks by artists Jessie Oleson and Jesse Kuhn who will share a few prints on food and love!

Check the facebook invite here, and join the group if you haven’t already! And spread the love!

You can get the full rundown of what delights await you this upcoming Saturday by clicking here. Check it out!

I shun people not because I want to live quietly, but rather because I want to die quietly!

Greenburg Slide Show Du Jour: Blizzard!

As promised, here is are some highlights of from my sojourn in the snow. It was nice to see kids (of all ages) out having fun. I regret to inform everyone no snow phalluses have been erected in McCarren Park— yet. But hope springs eternal and the day is still young. Enjoy!

And on that note, dear readers, I am off to take a nice HOT bath!

P.S.: I will be assembling a slide show of shots from today’s sojourn around north Brooklyn in a little bit. Need to defrost first!

Thought you might get a kick out of this. The logo is hilarious! Not quite battery operated socks, but close!

I have perused this site. The snappy graphic (and the sound effects which accompany it) are quite something. Be sure to check out the promotional video as well. It makes for some, um, interesting snow day entertainment.

Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Whitewash

February 10, 2010 ·
Filed under: 11211, King's Crap, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn 

A few thoughts:

  1. Whitewashing over a Vacate Order— next to perhaps drawing a red circle around said Vacate Order— only serves to draw more attention to said Vacate Order.
  2. How the hell can a building which is under construction get a Vacate Order? Then again, you can always trust Williamsburg to be on the cutting edge when it comes to such matters.

I guess the Department of Buildings is at long last taking a more pro-active stance when it comes to enforcement.
