To Whom It May Concern On Green Street

If you are the owner of this Honda.
And are wondering why your roof is crushed in.
It’s because the following two fucked-up hipsters decided to make out on your motor vehicle. It must have been a magical moment (or they simply hate imported cars) because our love birds also elected to jump up and down on it as well.
Repeatedly.
At 4:00 this morning.

Greenpoint Fashion Watch: Furban Jungle Update
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
It’s been over a week since I’ve hit you up with some (f)urban goodness from the wilderness that is Greenpoint. Luckily last weekend’s lovely weather brought out all manner and variety of animal print enthusiasts. I stalked these wild game (in one case coming close to walking in front of a moving car), trapped them on my digital camera and released them into the sanctuary of my Flickr photo set (which follows). Happy hunting!
If any of you spy the odd leopard lady, tempting tigress or— best of all— a furban zebra (which I have observed are not unlike their four legged counter-parts: almost impossible to capture) in the greater Greenpoint area please forward them to me at:

Thanks!

Highlights From The Robot Monkey World Chimpionship: Part II
Or: Lily Speaks
This installment features Lily Peachin of Dandelion Wine battling it out in the quarter finals against d.b.a. Although Dandelion Wine lost (and pretty badly at that) her running commentary through out the game and increasing frustration (who knew she took her robot monkeys so seriously?) makes this worth viewing. So be sure to watch the second half. Funny stuff!
You can see more footage from this event by clicking here.

Highlights From The Robot Monkey World Chimpionship: Part I
Here is the first installment of last night’s Robot Monkey smack down brought to you by Dan Walker and t.b.d. New York Shitty Analysis: as the evening waxed on (and the contestants became more intoxicated— which I suppose should be expected with half-price Jameson and Absolut shots) the sportsmanship began to erode quite a bit. But as you will see this only served to make things all the more entertaining. Enjoy!
Brooklyn Ale House Vs. Mikey’s Hook Up
The Brooklyn Kitchen Crest Hardware Vs. Brooklyn Ale House
Brooklyn Ale House Vs. Brainewave Consulting
I will be uploading more highlights from this most pleasurable diversion tomorrow— so stay tuned!

2009 Robot Monkey World Chimpionship: And The Winner Is…
Number 9.
Man oh Manischewitz was the Williamsburg versus Greenpoint robot battle fierce last night! Greenpoint’s very own Dandelion Wine* made it to the quarter finals but alas 11211 prevailed. Follows is a slide show of the event for your Sunday morning entertainment. Enjoy!
More video footage will be forthcoming later today— because you know what they say:
It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.
And let’s just say the game was played very interestingly.

*Who will be featured in today’s New York Times. Mazel Tov!
P.S.: In somewhat-related news those of you who have been wondering what’s up with this lot next door to t.b.d.
It is no longer available. The owner of t.b.d signed a lease two weeks ago and they are creating an outdoor garden/annex. I have it per a very reliable source it will be up and running Memorial Day weekend. So mark your calendar!
GOOD MORNING GREENPOINT!
Thanks to our local community board the salad days of finger buildings in Greenpoint are over. Or are they?
As I was walking by 110 Green Street (AKA: The Viridian) something caught my eye.
Hey, that’s not very nice! I wonder if the salespeople for this dump are aware of this?
Hmm… looks like they’re out to lunch.

Domo Arigato: The Robots Are Coming!
I came across this— what will undoubtedly be THE social event of the season— via a blog (I highly recommend) called Blondie & Brownie. In fact I like the way they wrote about it so much* I am going to hand you over to them for the 411. All I’m saying is:
- I like watching mechanized things beat the unholy crap out of each other.
- You bet your sweet ass I’m filming this.
In all seriousness this “interactive installation” by artist Dan Walker sounds like a helluva fun way to while away a Saturday night. Check it out!

New York Shitty Day Ender: Street Seat
You can always leave it to 106 Green Street (which is located immediately next door to the Viridian) to keep things real in the Garden Spot. In the case of the above photograph we have a stand pipe which reads:
Asshole Pick up your Dog Shit
an assortment of detritus and a toilet seat that is a lot worse for wear.
Have a nice day!

TONIGHT: Tomfoolery At t.b.d.
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
Those of you who don’t get your fill of foolishness today (if so, you’re either not looking hard enough or in the wrong places) might be interested to know t.b.d. will be hosting an evening of stand-up comedy, hoaxes and “joaxes”. I am certain drink specials will be involved as well. Check it out!
