New York Shitty Slide Show Du Jour: Marathon
I have a confession to make: I cringe when the New York City Marathon darkens my doorstep. If people want to run, so be it. I simply don’t like it interfering with my peregrinations. In any case, here are a handful of shots (and a bit of video footage) of today’s marathon from the Garden Spot of the Universe. Enjoy!

New York Shitty Photos Du Jour: Bushwick Place Carbeque
Filed under: 11206, Bushwick, Bushwick Brooklyn, Carbecque, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn
Today yours truly finally felt well enough to take a walk. A five hour walk to be precise. To this end I bundled up, braved the brisk weather and marched bravely forward to see the best (and worst) that north Brooklyn has to offer.
It was at Bushwick Place and Boerum Street that I stumbled upon this hot mess of a carbeque.
Here’s another view.
Toasty!
While not on par with the India Street carbeque (which is yours truly’s all time favorite) or this one from Ellery Street (which sported clown paraphenalia in the trunk) this specimen is compelling in its own way. Why, you ask? Very simple: while this ride sports no tires whatsoever on its axels…
they were rather abundant nonetheless.
Fascinating.

Greenpoint Street Art Du Jour: Flux
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Street Art
While not as elaborate or elegant as most of the material I feature on this site I am pretty jazzed about the direction this person’s work is taking. What can I say? As a child my idea of fun was reading the dictionary!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Van Gogh’s Radio On The Move?
This item comes courtesy of Kathleen bartendress extraordinaire and the head honcha of Pablo Airaldi’s upcoming benefit concert. She writes:
We’re actually going to be moving the bar. Looks like we’ll be out of our current spot by the end of the month. The new space is still in the hood… It sucks though. It’ll probably take 3-4 months for the build out and for the liquor license to get transferred. I’ll have to find a new job in the meantime. Def want to go back there when the new spot is open though. Tony (the owner) has been a really good friend of mine for many years. It kicks ass to be able to make money for someone you care about rather than some random person or company.
I’d like to work in Greenpoint in the interim but insofar as I know none of the bars are hiring. Might talk to Jimmy (Shayz) and his dad about doing fill in shifts there as they’re friends of mine. We’ll see…I know something will work out.
If anyone reading this tome knows of a watering hole where Kathleen can do what she does best please contact her via email at: khennerty (at) gmail (dot)com
After all, a Greenpoint gal has to eat!

P.S.: Kathleen visited Pablo yesterday. Here’ her update:
So Becky and I visited Pablo yesterday. He was having a pretty crappy day. Depressed. Doing his best to keep his spirits up, though. I was able to stay strong and not cry until after leaving. He’s in a really shitty place right now (new jersey is bad enough but he has to spend it in the damn jail at that!). He really really appreciates you posting the letter. Said he put a lot of work into it and wants it to be circulated as much as possible. I’m going to print out copies today to hand out. I joked with P yesterday that he’s become my day job 🙂 Work for Pablo(‘s case) during the day and work at the bar at night
