New York Shitty Day Ender: Meet Franklin
Filed under: 11211, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
I kicked off today’s posts with this particularly fetching porker. So I suppose it is only fitting I end the day with him.
His name is Franklin and per his “person” (who contacted me via email) he was holding court at his place of work and play today. Sensing a good “scoop” when I know one, I headed over without delay.
He’s cute.
No, make that VERY cute!
This is by far the most charming and articulate gent I have met in Williamsburg (two-legged or otherwise) in a long, long time. But alas, while I felt we made a “connection”, we had a very difficult time communicating with each other. I am not fluent in “Swine”. I do, however, have some very good news to relay; I have been granted an exclusive interview with “Franklin”. To this end I will be creating a list of questions for him this evening which his person, Joe, will field to him and translate! This will come to pass soon.
To be continued…

Live From “Stand Up! Speak Out!” Part II: And The Rest…
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
As promised here is the remainder of my footage from last night’s event.
PART IX: Carlos Menchaca of Councilwoman Quinn’s office, a respresentative of Councilwoman Reyna’s office and Marianne of the Brooklyn Community Pride Center speaks
- Brooklyn, at long last, will be getting its very own Pride Center!
PART X: The Pastor of the Church of the Messiah and Rebecca White, a Representative of the Green Party, speaks
- Miss White brings up Right Rides. Those of you who do not know what this is should click here and find out!
PART XI: Community Board 1 member Tom Burrows outlines public forums where people can speak up, a citizen speaks
- Mr. Burrows offers yours truly the mike. I decline (Hey, I’m filming this!)— but suggest he outline what people should do if/when they lodge a complaint via 311
- 311 is for non-emergencies only
- It is noted by one very observant attendee that someone who assaults someone at 5:00 a.m. in the morning is probably not attending church. Thus sermons preaching tolerance will probably not be effective.
PART XII: A representative of Support New York speaks
It was at this point, gentle readers, I headed home. But not before making a recommendation to Mr. Burrows and Lincoln Restler: that a community group/list-serve be created (Yahoo? Facebook? Google+?) where businesses, citizens and our electeds can have a frank and open forum to discuss issues pertaining to the LBGTQ community and get to know each other— on their schedule. Thoughts, anyone?
