TODAY: Empty Cages Collective Hits Bedford Avenue!
Filed under: Williamsburg
After the big success at last week’s adoption event (as of 4:00 p.m. they had FOUR adoptions pending!) Empty Cages Collective is hitting us up with another adoption event, this time right on Bedford Avenue! Lisacat writes:
Make your way to Williamsburg’s main drag to meet Empty Cages Collective’s wonderful cats looking for homes. The N.S.A.L adoption van will be parked on Bedford Ave at North 7th St, steps away from the Bedford Ave / L train stop. Adoptions require approved applicaton & adoption fee, all of our cats & kittens have been rescued from our Trap-Neuter-Return efforts in New York City, or rescued from AC&C’s kill list.
One such animal Empty Cages rescued from the “Euth List” is a little guy named Joshua. Follows is some footage where we get to watch him contentedly play with a catnip mouse while a volunteer tells his story!
In closing I would like to announce that Empty Cages Collective is one of four charities Robert Guskind’s friends and family have selected to receive donations in his memory. Head over to The Gowanus Lounge for more details.

North Brooklyn Photo Du Jour: Southside Supper
Filed under: Williamsburg
When I encountered this spot of al fresco dining yesterday evening I knew it was too exquisite to pass up documenting it for all posterity here on New York Shitty. As you can see all the necessities have been provided: a bowl, spoon, eggs, a 24 ounce can of PBR (smashed— not unlike the person probably consumed it) and a “mystery bag” which is undoubtedly filled with culinary delights of a very exotic nature.
Interested gourmands take note: this table for one is located at South 4th Street and the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. Best to place your reservation far in advance. I have little doubt this newest entrant to the north Brooklyn restaurant scene will be harder to get into than Nobu soon enough. Perhaps it’ll even get a Michelin mention? In any case I give this phat spread four stars.

Looks like someone decided to give Bernie a grill. NICE.

TODAY: NAG Town Hall Meeting
This item was brought to my attention by my buddy over at Brooklyn11211. Among the items to be discussed at this meeting will be their North Brooklyn Story Project which, as it would happen, is still taking volunteers. Why not take some time out of your evening tonight and learn more about what NAG is cooking up for our community?

I can only hope the “Seedballs” project will be brought to the table. I realize this is sophomoric but I cannot read, much less write, this word without giggling like a school girl. Good times.

Coming Up: Craft On Draught
I’ve been doing a lot of spring cleaning of late. You know, getting rid of stuff you told yourself— REPEATEDLY— that you would do something with. But never did. Here’s your opportunity to dump, drink and make. Leslie writes:
Bring out your busted sewing projects, tired T-shirts, hideous hand-me-downs—basically all the crappy clothes from your closet that you don’t want anymore, or the stuff you’ve been meaning to make awesome—for the ultimate happy hour of destruction, reconstruction, and social mixing!
You provide the scrap, we’ll provide the beer, inspiration, crafting tools, and help from author-crafters Heather Ross and Kayte Terry—plus special projects for purchase: Scrappliqué undies, totebags, cards, jewelry boxes, picture frames, onesies and T-shirts (with that new T-shirt smell)!
WHAT: Craft in Draught Debut
WHEN: April 2, 2009.
WHERE: Spacecraft Brooklyn
355 Bedford Avenue
