From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Question About Christmas Lights
Have you seen the giant snowflakes adorning Manhattan Ave and Franklin St? They’re wonderful! I’m curious who funded this. Do you know if it is perhaps a contribution of the Greenpoint Business Alliance? I’m all about it, whoever is in charge.
Anyone have the 411 on who is responsible for this? If so, please share via comments. I too am very curious about this!

Stephanie Anderson is the manager of WORD, the ultimate local bookstore in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Her blog/Twitter handle is “bookavore” so for her portrait we made it literal. The set & skirt I built from her discard piles of publisher’s proofs.
Great shot!

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
