Live From North 9 Street: Rage Against The Machine

I have been asked by a number of people— including my own mother— if I felt the earthquake today. The answer is a resounding “No”. You see, gentle readers, I was on North 9 Street between Driggs Avenue and Roebling Street— which some might recall is the location of a rather substantial pile driver. Something very interesting was happening.

Naturally when I saw this chap standing in the corner the thought he was urinating and/or possibly masturbating immediately came to mind. I mean, this IS New York City after all. No sir, he had something to say to his new “neighbor”. NOTE: shortly after I shot the above footage this chap started screaming “Fuck you!”. While I doubt this changed the situation in any real, lasting way it probably felt good.

Live From “Stand Up! Speak Out!”: Part I

I am pleased to announce there was a full house at last night’s forum against anti-GBLTQ violence! Not only were a number of our elected officials and representatives from the Police Department present, but a great many concerned citizens from as far-flung locales as Park Slope! Some of these individuals had very powerful tales to tell, as you will see. In any case 9and without further ado) follows is the footage I shot. NOTE: I will be adding more later today so check back!
